Who will pay for the blood draw if my doctor does it?
The Sister Study will cover reasonable costs for having your blood drawn provided arrangements are worked out before you have this done. You should speak to a Sister Study staff member about making alternate arrangements to have your blood drawn. An EMSI examiner will still need to meet you at your doctor’s office to receive the blood, questionnaires, and other samples you have collected. Our staff will contact your doctor to work out the details and arrange to pay the doctor directly. Call 1-877-4SISTER (toll-free) and follow directions for enrolled participants.
