A) We encourage everyone to use their own doctor and health insurance for blood tests if possible. But many customers say it is easier and more convenient for them to use us instead of taking time out of their busy schedules to make appointments and wait around in a doctor's waiting room. Our customers also mention their shock at how much they have to pay if their insurance won't cover the tests compared to what they would pay through us. Also we offer unique blood panels you won't find elsewhere, plus your own doctor may not be willing to write a prescription for blood tests for preventive purposes.

Conventional Lab Testing FAQs

Once you place your order, you will receive your LabCorp Requisition within 24 hours if you have chosen email or fax as the method of delivery (allow up to 48 hours for orders placed on Saturday). If you choose to receive your requisition by mail, or are receiving a blood draw kit, please allow up to 5 business days for delivery. All requisitions and kits are mailed from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
