[quote=Anonymous]I have Kaiser and live in Maryland. Just got back blood work from my 12 weeks appointment and saw that in addition to many normal blood tests, my doctor had ordered a panel screening for 12 different drugs. No one had mentioned this would be included and no one asked my consent. On the other hand, I did not ask what "routine blood work" entailed, so that's on me but it still feels like a categorically different type of test than, say, platelets or syphilis in that it is treating me like a suspect of a crime rather than a patient. I've never used illegal or recreational drugs of any kind before or during pregnancy, so they all came back negative but I'm really offended that they tested me without asking. Has this happened to you? Is this standard Kaiser policy? Is there any recourse here? This is my first Kaiser pregnancy so I don't know if switching doctors will make a difference.[/quote]
