Hearing about a diagnosis in person will give you the opportunity to talk with your healthcare provider about what it means for your life. It can also help you avoid the confusion of understanding positive and negative test results on your own, especially when there are multiple factors that might contribute to your risk of a disease.
Beyond the fact that you have the right to see the results of every test you undergo, you can't possibly know if the test was performed or went missing if the results aren't shared. If the office tells you that they cannot deliver results by phone because it violates HIPAA privacy laws, they are incorrect.

In the United States and some other countries, sonographers are not permitted to provide results to patients, instead deferring those conversations to the interpreting radiologists or the referring physicians. My experience for the past 30 years has been in vascular labs in Greece and in the United Kingdom. In the UK, band 7 sonographers are ...

In the UK, band 7 sonographers are permitted to sign and communicate the results. Nevertheless, the question of whether we should do so is still being debated. So far, there are no standardized professional guidelines nor consistency in recognizing sonographers’ professional status.
