All 50 states plus the District of Columbia mandate that physicians and laboratories (and typically a variety of other health care providers and institutions) report cases of certain reportable diseases and conditions to the state and/or local health department. Reports of disease are often made after someone with a reportable illness or health condition seeks treatment with a physician or hospital, or when a laboratory evaluation of a patient sample confirms the presence of a particular disease.
