So far, it looks positive. Quest Diagnostics informed my doctor that it does not cost anything for her to upgrade to the portal account. Since Google Health has just been launched, Quest is "flooded" with requests for portal account upgrade from doctors. Just may be Google is proving me wrong on my perennial axim.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14790083459983862374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-20285262401449393352008-05-22T15:19:00.000-07:002008-05-22T15:19:00.000-07:00The perennial axim, "There's no free lunch", appli...The perennial axim, "<B>There's no free lunch</B>", applies here. I attempted to link up my Google Health's account to my profile at Quest Diagnostics. Quest indicated to me that my doctor has to request the secured 16-digit pin for me. I wrote my doctor a letter indicating that he should request that PIN for me. Guess what? My doctor called me today and informed me that that in order for him to participate with Quest, his account has to be upgraded (hint: cost more for him to do business so that I get a free feature from Google Health). So, that axim I indicated above remains correct for now. My point is everything is great for Google as far as Google Health is concerned but the doctor and Quest Diagnostics are footing the bill and chances are, they won't do it. Google Health is going to be a gian t health information storage but electronic link up to health services, I'll doubt it will be a success.<BR/>PS. Can someone put a feature so that Google Health can store PDF version of my children's immunization as well as most recent bloodwork? Just asking.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14790083459983862374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-14930230790712366562008-05-20T11:50:00.000-07:002008-05-20T11:50:00.000-07:00Google's FAQ: "Google Health is completely free.

It's asked because being of a certain race can make you more susceptible to certain illnesses (for example, African Americans have a much higher rate of Sickle Cell Anemia than in the general population). Doctors have to be careful with this, as all of the research is correlational, but nonetheless, it can help narrow the scope of your differential diagnosis.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370925440530778963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-84601358941168999052008-05-19T18:46:00.000-07:002008-05-19T18:46:00.000-07:00I just created my profile and was a bit shocked to...I just created my profile and was a bit shocked to be asked what my race was.
