FAQ
How is Coast Connect different?
We are stand out in a few ways.
- Collection Device: Our innovative collection device allows for whole blood collection. While many other online tests use fingersticks or in-person appointments with partnered blood draw facilities.
- Larger Test Menu: Since we collect whole blood, we are able to have a much larger test menu ranging from routine health checks to specialized panels. Alternatively, fingerstick tests don't provide enough sample size, leading to fewer test and lower accuracy.
- We Own Our Lab: We specialize in providing comprehensive lab services to doctors across the country and you receive the same quality testing and service. Many other online tests rely on lab partners resulting in higher costs and transferring of personal health information. Have peace-of-mind, knowing exactly who is handling your information from start to finish.
- Lower Costs: By cutting out the middlemen and lab partners, we can provide you with the highest quality testing and services at a reduced cost.
How does the device work?
Our FDA-cleared device offers a quick, painless way to collect a liquid blood sample.
The device adheres to your arm, and with a simple button press, a spring-loaded lancet painlessly begins drawing blood into the collection tube. In just five minutes, your sample is ready for lab analysis—no needles or appointments required.
How is this different from a fingerstick test?
Our collection device differs from traditional fingerstick tests by collecting a full liquid blood sample rather than just a few drops. This sample volume enables more comprehensive, reliable lab analyses. Fingerstick tests, which are limited to smaller samples, often lead to variability in results due to inconsistent sample volumes, particularly affecting hormone, vitamin, and enzyme testing. Additionally, fingersticks can be painful, while our device is designed for a painless, quick experience with minimal user error, providing more accurate and consistent results.
How long does it take to get lab results?
Results are available within 2–3 business days after the lab receives your sample, accessible via our secure online portal.
Can I buy a kit as a gift?
Yes! You can give a test kit as a gift because we collect patient information during the 'Kit Registration' process just before sample collection, not at the time of purchase.
How do I receive and interpret my results?
You will be notified via email when your results are ready with instructions on accessing your secure patient portal.
Results come with an easy-to-read report, detailing health insights. For further interpretation, you can consult with a healthcare provider.
Is my personal health information secure?
Yes, your privacy is a priority. Coast Connect uses a HIPAA-compliant portal to ensure your personal health information is securely protected at every step, from sample collection to result access.
We do not use partnered laboratories. Have peace-of-mind knowing our CLIA-certified lab is handling your sample from start to finish.
