FAQs

Why wont Labcorp let me view my results? ›

To protect the privacy of your data, the personal information in your lab test order must match your Labcorp Patient account. If the information is different, your results may not appear in your account. If you need help accessing your results, you can contact us.

The most common reason for delay in receiving results is inaccurate or out-of-date personal information on record with your health care providers or in your Labcorp Patient™​ portal personal profile.

Labcorp Patient ™ allows users to link their accounts in order to share their lab testing information with others. You can invite someone to link to your account so that they can view things like your appointments, bills, results and insurance information. Linked accounts are one-way connections.

You can view results with a Labcorp Patient™ account. When you sign in to your account, recent results will appear on the dashboard. You can view the full list by clicking Results in the main navigation menu. As you view an individual result, you can click Download Your Official Report to download or print your report.

Typically, it takes about 2 to 4 days from the date of pickup of a specimen to the release of the test result. Your result will be delivered directly to your Labcorp Patient™ account as soon as it is available. If you don't have an account, create one now to see your result when it becomes available.

Why don't I see all of my lab results in MyChart? Your lab results for most tests are automatically released same day. There are some results that are exceptions and your provider will contact you outside of MyChart with those results. The test results page defaults to show only test results done at clinic locations.

How do I add on a test to a patient's laboratory test order after the specimen has been collected? If you have a LabCorp Link^TM login/password , you can submit your add-on test request electronically. You may also call your local laboratory and add-on the test request.

Conclusion: Choosing between Labcorp and Quest Diagnostics ultimately depends on your specific healthcare needs, location, and personal preferences. Both labs are reputable, offer a wide range of services, and maintain high standards of quality and accuracy.

Labcorp competitors include IQVIA, Thermo Fisher Scientific and Quest Diagnostics.

The national staffing shortage has impacted turnaround times at each step in the drug testing process, starting from the point of specimen intake at the lab all the way to reporting the final results back to the requesting party. Currently, processing times are approximately 3 to 6 business days.

How long will Labcorp detect drugs in urine? ›

Drugs in hair may be detectable for up to 90 days, whereas drugs in urine are generally detectable for one to seven days (or longer in chronic users) and in oral fluid from five to 48 hours.

Your results may be delayed if the sample is inadequate (not enough blood), contaminated, or if the blood cells were destroyed for some reason before reaching the lab.

To ensure that we can match your lab test results to your Quest Account, do the following: Check and confirm your personal information. Check with your healthcare providers (primary care physician, specialists, Quest Patient Service Center, etc) to see if your personal information is current and up-to-date.

These are usually notes which the computer generates if a blood test result is abnormal, or out of 'normal range'. Understandably, this can make you feel worried. But you can be reassured that these flags will be reviewed by your GP or other health professional, who will let you know if there is a cause for concern.

Most are usually ready within around 72 hours. However, there are some tests – such as the HbA1c blood test – that can take up to a week to return results. The coeliac blood test and the test for vitamin D, meanwhile, are outliers, often taking as long as 2 to 3 weeks.
