According to Montana Health and Safety Code, medical providers are prohibited from releasing the following laboratory results via MyBillingsClinic, even though a patient may consent to their release: HIV antibody test; presence of antigens indicating a hepatitis infection; abusing the use of drugs; test results related to routinely processed tissues, including skin biopsies, Pap smear tests, products of conception and bone marrow aspirations for morphological evaluation, if they reveal a malignancy. Other tests currently unavailable in MyBillingsClinic are X-ray images, EKGs and MRIs.
