jarptica [38.1K]

  • Pregnancy tests, faecal occult blood tests, some urine tests, and some tests for glucose and cholesterol are also exempt.

  • The quick availability of results while the patient is available for immediate follow-up, the need for little training in simple tests, and the portability of many waived tests all contribute to the advantages of performing them.
