Doctor orders and paperwork

Blood testing locations:
If your physician orders bloodwork you may go to any lab that is accepted by your insurance. For more efficient processing we prefer you use a national lab. No appointment is required.  
  • Find a Labcorp location using your zip code. Go the the location with "Labcorp" as the name of the location.
      • This is our preferred laboratory and will take all insurance plans except for Aetna. If you are billed more than you expect, please contact our office. 
      • You do not need your labslip if you use a dedicated "Labcorp" location on the list since have your orders stored electronically for up to 6 months. 
      • If you go to a location with a name other than labcorp on the list then you will need a paper copy of your orders
      • Your results will automatically be sent to the office.

Fasting instructions: Please make sure you review the specific written instructions given to you when you left the clinic since you may have to stop, change, or take a medication prior to doing specific testing. If your doctor requested, please remember to go fasting after midnight- No food, gum, tea, or juice in the morning. Un-sweetened water is OK. Take your morning pills with water only.  If you are on long acting insulin it is ok to take.
