Lab Test Results

We recommend discussing your test results with the provider who ordered the test or a member of their office staff. They're best equipped to provide context and answer any questions.

While we can't provide personalized interpretations of your results, our PSC staff are happy to help with any general questions you may have about the testing process.

If you've been authorized to view lab test results for others in your account, you can access their results by following these steps:

• Sign in to your account online using the Labcorp Patient™ portal
• Click Results in the main menu
• In the drop-down menu, select the person whose results you'd like to view
• Click View for the results you'd like to view

In order to set up access rights, do the following:

• Log in online using the Labcorp Patient portal (or create an account if you don’t have one)
• Navigate to “Manage Access” or “Linked Accounts”
• Submit a request to link the other person’s account
• For minors, a parent or legal guardian must provide consent and may need to verify identity
• Once approved, you’ll be able to view results, pay bills, and manage appointments for that individual

For legal guardianship or special circumstances, Labcorp may require additional documentation (such as a notarized consent form). You can start this process at Labcorp Patient or contact our Clinical Contact Center team online with the Labcorp Patient Inquiry Form.

Many standard lab test results are available within 24-48 hours. However, the turnaround time may vary depending on the complexity of the tests. Some results may take up to two weeks, and specialized tests like genetic or esoteric tests may take up to 21 days.

To check the status of your results, simply log in to your MyLabcorp™ mobile app or online using the Labcorp Patient™ portal. Results are delivered to your Labcorp Patient account at the same time they are reported to your healthcare provider (unless state or federal laws restrict timing of delivery). Note that some results, such as employee drug screening, are not available in Labcorp Patient. If you have questions about the availability of your results, please contact your provider's office directly.

Delays in receiving lab results are most commonly due to outdated or inaccurate personal information on file with your healthcare provider or in your Labcorp Patient™ account. If it's been more than two weeks since your sample was collected and your results aren't available, here are a few steps you can take to resolve the issue:

• Check your Labcorp Patient account: Log in to your MyLabcorp™ mobile app or Labcorp Patient portal online and ensure your personal information is up to date, complete, and accurate
• Verify information with your healthcare provider: Reach out to your ordering provider to confirm that your personal details on file match those in your Labcorp Patient profile
• Keep your information current: As a best practice, consider annually verifying that all your healthcare providers have your most current contact and insurance information

If you've taken these steps and still don’t see your results, contact our Clinical Contact Center team online using the Labcorp Patient Inquiry Form.

As soon as your results are available, they'll be available to view in your Labcorp Patient™ account via your MyLabcorp™ mobile app or online portal. If you don't have a Labcorp Patient account yet, visit our registration page to get started.

If you’re bringing a minor for testing, please be aware that they must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian during the entire visit, including sample collection. If someone else will accompany the child, Labcorp may require written authorization from the parent or guardian.

Please note:

• Some locations only perform pediatric draws for children under a certain age (often 12 and younger), so it’s best to check ahead
• In rare cases, emancipated minors or those seeking certain confidential services (like STI testing) may consent on their own, depending on state laws
  
  

Most test orders are valid for one year from the time your provider writes the order. However, standing orders (intended for repeated use within a set duration and frequency) are valid for a maximum of six months. If you're unsure of when your test order was written or which type of order you have, contact your provider.

During your visit, our trained staff will assist you in providing a small sample based on the test type; this might include blood, urine, saliva, hair, or other types of samples. Our staff will guide you through the process, making sure it's as safe, quick, and comfortable as possible while safeguarding your dignity and privacy. For more details, visit our What to Expect page.

Please be aware that children must be supervised at all times while at our locations and cannot enter the collection area. We appreciate you planning accordingly.
