Results FAQ

  • How soon can I expect to receive my lab test results?

    Depending on the complexity of the tests, it could take several days to complete the tests. You should contact your doctor's office if you have any question about the availability of test results, or you can continue to check your Labcorp Patient™ portal account, as results are posted based on a fixed schedule as indicated above.

  • How do I access the lab test results of other people in my Labcorp Patient™​ portal account?

    If you have been authorized to view the lab test results of other people in your account, select Dependents from the left menu, then select the person whose lab test results you would like to see. If you do not see lab test results for that person, be sure you have access rights to that person’s laboratory information. 

  • My lab results have not been posted and more than two weeks have passed. What should I do?

    In most cases, lab test results delivery times should not exceed two weeks. The most common reason for delay in receiving results is inaccurate or out-of-date personal information on record with your health care providers or in your Labcorp Patient™​ portal personal profile.

    Please check and confirm the following:

    • Your Labcorp Patient portal personal profile information is up to date, complete, and accurate.
    • The personal information on record with all of your health care providers matches the personal information in your Labcorp Patient portal profile. Health care providers include your primary care physician, specialists, hospital professionals, and all Labcorp specimen collection labs.

  • How do I access my lab test results?

    Lab results are delivered to your Labcorp Patient™ portal account. Log in or register online. For more information, you may also see our Notice of Privacy Practices.

  • I'm a patient and I don’t understand or have questions about my test results. Who should I talk to?

    Patients should discuss their results with the physician who ordered the test or a member of the physician's office staff. Please do not contact the lab where your specimen was collected with questions about your test results.

How long does a lab pregnancy test take?

The time it takes to get the results of a pregnancy test depends on the type of test that is ordered. It may take anywhere from a few hours to more than a day to get the results of a blood test. Results from urine tests are generally available in one to two minutes.

Can labcorp detect pregnancy?

Earlier Detection Labcorp's blood test detects hCG earlier in a pregnancy than urine tests can—about 6-8 days after conception versus 2+ weeks.
