I had labs run for a work physical. cbc came back: mcv: 101; rdw: 16.0; platelets: 567; monocytes: 14 (all labeled high). does this need follow up?

Yes, follow up: You didn't mention what your hemoglobin or hematocrit were, but your MCV indicates you could have an type of anemia or a problem in your bone marrow. High platelets can go along with this -- or possibly other conditions which can lead to abnormal blot clotting. Did your own doctor order these tests, and can you not ask him/her about the results? They do need follow up.

Lab indices: We can't evaluate with just these numbers. Most of the time, borderline abnormalities are of no significance. You need to talk to the doc who ordered the test.

YES: Need maybe. Talk with dr who ordered these. If they were mine i'd like to know that the dr saw them and thought about them - and i'd like him to explain them.
