Hi Tom, Consider how long it would take to send it back to get a response. Some clients may be far away. If that Non-gyn needs to be processed, we would call them, document the information and contacts, and politely remind them to fill out the forms. Yes, this can be time consuming.
In these days of barcoding and specimen tracking, nothing is thrown out, and the majority of rejected specimens get sent back to the physician/group. Sometimes they don't come back, but that's their prerogative.
