After you get the result on the meter, you call a 1-800 number & punch in your result. Example 2.8 is 2 * 8 # They have your cardiologists "target range" in their computer. If you are "out of range" the prompt says "connecting to a healthcare professional" & then you are connected to the doctor's office. If you are "in range" they FAX the result to your MD's office & you maintain the same Coumadin dose. What a great service! I also was recently approved for the INR Meter.
