Question 1

How can we evaluate the effectiveness of our health checks?

Accepted Answer

Evaluating the effectiveness of health checks is important to ensure that they are contributing to positive outcomes for your employees and the company. Feedback from employees, reduction of sickness absence, productivity and cost effectiveness can be useful methods to evaluate the effectiveness of health checks.

Question 2

How can we motivate employees to carry out a health check?

Accepted Answer

A combination of communication, subsidized or free health checks and flexible hours can be an effective way to increase participation in health checks and increase health and wellness awareness among employees. Employees who feel well perform better and have less sick leave.

Question 3

How do I order a health test or a health check with you?

Accepted Answer

In order to be able to order a health test or a health check through us you need to be over 18 and have a Swedish social security number.

You choose from our various health tests and health checks or create your own referral with biomarkers that you want to test and add these to the shopping cart. If you have selected a marker separately that is included in a health check this will automatically be removed from your shopping cart. When you click on the next step, you either need to create an account or log in to your existing one. You will then be prompted to select a sampling unit near you that you can then go to after completing your order.

Payment takes place through Klarna Checkout which offers several different payment options for you as a customer, both invoice, Swish and card payment. After completed payment, you will receive a confirmation of your purchase. You can then visit the sampling unit you have chosen to go to to submit your sample immediately after payment or when it suits you - but no later than within 3 months of your purchase.

Question 4

How does the sampling work, who performs it and where is the analysis done?

Accepted Answer

We collaborate with Sweden's leading laboratories for sampling and analysis, Unilabs, Karolinska and Synlab, as well as Encia for sampling. Our partners maintain the highest quality and have good availability all over Sweden. You can therefore feel confident in your choice of sampling unit and in your meeting with the staff who work with them and who perform the sampling when you leave your blood sample intravenously.

Question 5

How do I make my own referral?

Accepted Answer

A personal referral is created by choosing the markers you want to test yourself for and putting them in your shopping cart. If you only take separate markers, a separate one is created.

Question 6

How long will it take before I receive my test results and the doctors comment in a consolidated report?

Accepted Answer

Test results will be sent out to you on an ongoing basis as they have been analyzed and we have received them from the laboratory. The final comment by doctors will only come when all test answers have been received from laboratory. Some samples are not analyzed on a daily basis, examples of these are allergy, hormones and some minerals and therefore there can sometimes be a delay before you receive the final report with the doctors comment.

Some samples may also need to be sent to another location to be analyzed and then this can also mean that there will be a delay in your test results. Normally, the test answers are sent out continuously to you between 1-5 working days (non-holiday weekdays, Mon-Fri). If more than 5 working days have passed since you submitted your test and you still have not received a response, please contact us at customer service.

Should there be something about your sample that makes it impossible to analyze or that something has gone wrong during the analysis, our goal is to immediately relay the information and possible action to you as soon as we are informed of this.

Question 7

How often should health checks be offered?

Accepted Answer

How often health checks should be offered can vary depending on the needs and resources of the company, as well as on the health risks most relevant to the employees. In general, it is good to offer health checks regularly, for example once a year, to detect health problems in time and improve health in the long term.

Question 8

How do I change my details?

Accepted Answer

To change your account details you need to log in to your account and go to "My pages". At each login, you request a login link that you use for login. If you have any other questions regarding your account settings you can contact us at customer service and we will try to help you as quickly as possible.

Question 9

Can a blood test tell me if I'm healthy or sick?

Accepted Answer

You can use our service for screening purposes to gain better insight into your health. A single blood test or several in a larger health check cannot individually tell if you are completely healthy or ill. The test results can be used in further contact with your doctor for possible further investigation.

The markers that can be tested for through Testmottagningen.se are markers that are associated with public health diseases/lifestyle diseases.

Question 10

Can I order more than one product at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can order several products at the same time. If a biomark/product you have ordered is included in a possible health check that you put in the shopping cart the individual product will be automatically removed from your shopping cart.

Question 11

Can my medications or supplements affect my test results?

Accepted Answer

Yes, some medications and dietary supplements affect test results. If you have questions about how your medications can affect your test results you need to consult your doctor who prescribes your medication regarding this. It is generally recommended that samples are only submitted two weeks after any antibiotic treatment has ended.

Regarding dietary supplements, they will affect your test results depending on which samples you take and which dietary supplements you consume. It can therefore be good to test your values before you start any consumption of food supplements so that you get a good insight into whether and what type of food supplements are needed, alternatively if it is enough to eat a more varied diet.

Question 12

Can my test results show if I have cancer?

Accepted Answer

We do not carry out cancer diagnostics, if you are worried you should contact your doctor who can do a clinical examination and possible x-rays in combination with possible blood tests. For men, we offer PSA based on the National Board of Health and Welfare's guidelines.

Question 13

When can I visit the selected sampling unit to give the blood sample and how long is the validity of the referral?

Accepted Answer

Your referral is sent electronically to your selected sampling unit and payment is immediately completed when you receive your order confirmation. The referral takes effect immediately and is valid for 5 months from the date of your order and you choose when you want to go to your sampling unit and submit your sample within the validity period.

If you have not had the time or opportunity to submit your test within the validity period of 3 months just contact our customer service and we will help you extend the validity period of the referral, however, this needs to be done before the validity period expires as the referral needs to be active at a change.

Question 14

How much does it cost to offer health checks to employees via Testmottagningen.se?

Accepted Answer

The costs of offering health checks to your employees can vary depending on factors such as the extent of the health checks you want to offer and the number of employees. Get in touch with us and we can help you and come up with a package solution tailored for you, contact us here.

Question 15

Why should a health check be done?

Accepted Answer

It is not only important to ensure that we are healthy now, but we must also try to prevent future problems. By performing regular health checks, we can improve our health and stay healthy.

Question 16

What are the most effective health checks to offer our employees?

Accepted Answer

The most effective health checks to offer depend on the company's needs and budget, as well as the health risks most relevant to the employees. Many companies offer their employees the larger health checks that give a good overview of the individual's general health. After that, you can also offer your employees to follow up their test answers on an ongoing basis, both in individual markers and larger packages.

Question 17

What kind of information do we as a company get to know about the results of our employees' health checks?

Accepted Answer

No information from the employees' test results or other information they provide will be shared with you as an employer. You will receive statistics on how the package you have purchased is used. Do you have e.g. purchased a package of 10 health checks on an annual basis, you will receive information on how many of these have been used after 6 months and again after 12 months.

Question 18

Is it possible to get personal guidance before taking the test?

Accepted Answer

As our service does not offer a personal doctor contact who can perform a detailed medical history, we cannot offer you help with which samples are right for you. If you are concerned about how any medications may affect your test results, we advise you to contact your doctor regarding this.
