*No appointment is needed. A fee of Euro 11 is charged. You will be given a note with the test number, which you present for the print out of the result in about 4 hours. If you don’t speak French it would be a good idea to prepare a document for them stating your ‘nom’ (surname), ‘prenom’ (Christian name), ‘addresse’, and ‘naissance’ (date of birth). **Try and call the laboratory first to see whether they use the same testing method you are used to, i.e. Coaguchek as opposed to venous testing. If you look on the homepage www.roche.at you should be able to find information about which doctors use Coagucheks.
