Is It To Be Concerned About The Bilirubin Level Being 2.6 In The Blood Test Results?

I recently had a blood test to check my ferritin levels as well as cholesterol and blood sugar levels. I have heriditary hemachromatosis. My doctor's office just told me my ferritin was 130, but bilirubin was 2.6. Should I be concerned with the bilirubin or do I just need a phlebotomy?
