PREVIEW

A 55-year-old man comes to you for a routine physical examination. He is a nonsmoker who takes no medications and has no signs of acute or chronic disease, and he has not seen a doctor in years. What blood work should you order for this patient? The authors of this article help you answer this question in light of recent advances in technology, restrictions in healthcare reimbursement, and increased sophistication in cost-benefit analysis for laboratory testing.
