Dr. SG Erman answered

not always: In my practice, we usually give out blood test results over the phone, but also have the patients come in periodically to monitor medications for side effects, compliance, etc. While i don't know your specific situation, I do not think it is unusual or unwarranted to ask the patient to come in periodically to discuss test results.
