(a) A clinical laboratory may examine human specimens at
the request of a licensed physician, dentist or other person
authorized by law to use the findings of laboratory
examinations. A clinical laboratory may examine human specimens
at the request of any person for the purpose of testing and
analysis and a licensed physician or other authorized person
shall not be required to collect the specimens as provided under
subsection (d) of this section.
(b) The results of a test shall only be reported to or as
directed by the person who requested it. The reports shall
include the name of the laboratory director and the name and
address of the clinical laboratory in which the test was
actually performed.
(c) All specimens accepted by a clinical laboratory shall
be tested on the premises unless forwarded to another properly
licensed clinical laboratory. Any tests made outside Wyoming
must be made by a laboratory having a valid federal interstate
license.

direct to consumer test. For the purpose of this subsection and
as further defined by the department of health, a "direct to
consumer test" means a diagnostic device that is marketed
directly to consumers, where the consumer initiates the testing
process and collects their own human specimen for the purpose of
testing and analysis by a clinical laboratory.
