Questions about ordering, the draw and your result

For some tests, yes; each test shows whether it is needed. Fasting means nothing to eat or drink except water from 22:00 the evening before, at least 8 hours. Leave coffee and tea that morning, and have blood drawn before 10:00.

No. We arrange the referral through ZorgDomein within one business day of your order; order after 17:00 or at the weekend and that business day starts later. The ZorgDomein email contains a barcode, which you show at the draw site. At a few draw sites you choose a time on your order page, or we schedule the appointment for you.

No. Blood testing you request yourself is not part of the basic Dutch insurance. You pay it yourself, and it does not come off your deductible (eigen risico).

Count on one business day, and a day extra if you order after 17:00 or at the weekend. That is how long the referral email takes, and without that referral you cannot be drawn yet. At some draw sites you then walk in without an appointment; the others work by appointment. Each location says which.

The barcode from the ZorgDomein email and a valid ID. You show the barcode on your phone; you do not need to print it. Without a BSN you get no barcode in the email, and you print the referral form from the link in the email.

Yes, take your medication as normal, unless your own doctor said something else. Some tests ask for more, such as no alcohol for 24 hours or no heavy training for 48 hours. You read that on the test and in the instructions with your order.

At the draw site you show the barcode and a valid ID. Then your blood is taken; allow about a quarter of an hour.

Yes. Every result gets an assessment from a BIG-registered doctor, with an explanation of your values in your account. Treatment you discuss with your GP.

SlimmerLab works with a network of independent, certified laboratories spread across the Netherlands. Those laboratories also manage the draw sites; SlimmerLab is not their owner. Reference values can differ slightly from laboratory to laboratory.

No. Your test does not go through your GP and does not enter your medical record. Your data goes to a healthcare provider only if you give written consent, and it is never sold. Anonymous testing is not possible: a valid result requires your name, date of birth and a valid ID.
