6.10 State Reporting of Lead Test Results
Lead poisoning remains the number one environmental threat to children, and is a major health
concern. Most states require that results be submitted to the state’s health department. Contact your
state’s Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program for the specific reporting guidelines that apply to
your blood lead results.
NOTE: Report all blood lead test results to the appropriate local, state, or federal agency.
Additional questions can be directed to Magellan Diagnostics Product Support at 800-275-0102 or

6.11 Follow-up Testing
According to the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), there is no known safe level of lead. Consult
your local public health department and/or CDC recommendations for information on the management
of blood lead levels.
Blood lead test results should be shared with the patient’s physician for interpretation and to determine
when retesting and follow-up care are necessary. A capillary blood sample that generates an elevated
lead level should be run at a reference laboratory using a high complexity testing method.
For the most current information regarding blood lead testing guidelines, please refer to the CDC’s
website and specific regulations in your State.
