Your results will not be shared with your primary doctor or other providers unless you decide to share your results directly. However, Quest Diagnostics and PWN will disclose your test results if required by law, such as to public health authorities, or as authorized by you.

How do I know what my results mean? What if I have questions about my results?
Your purchase includes the option to discuss your test results with a PWNHealth physician at no extra cost. However, it is your responsibility to ask your doctor what your test results mean. Quest urges you to share your results with your doctor to make the best decisions for your health.
What if I am interested in speaking with a physician?
Included with your purchase is the opportunity to speak with a PWN physician about any of your lab test results. In some states, the PWN physician will be able to provide treatment for some conditions.

If you would like to speak with a member of the PWN care coordination team or a PWN physician to discuss your results, you can contact PWN Monday through Friday between 9:00 AM and 5:30 PM EST at 1.855.205.6146.

Pathology laboratories are bound by privacy laws covering the use and release of personal information. This means test results can only be released to health practitioners directly involved in your care.
This is generally 2-5 business days from the time the sample is received, depending on your test. If you are waiting for lab results in CA, KY, MD, or PA, your lab results may be held for a period of time before they are released. This hold time is in place to comply with state-specific laws.
If results are normal, they can usually be delivered via a phone call. If results are abnormal, your healthcare provider may call you and ask to set up a separate follow-up appointment.
Most test results are available within 2-5 days of collection. Yet some complex testing may take 14 days or more. Quest sends completed test results directly to the ordering doctor for review. Results will also be available in your MyQuest account as tests are completed.
Yes. Under the HIPAA Privacy Rule, an individual has a general right to access, upon request, PHI about the individual in a designated record set maintained by or for a clinical laboratory that is a covered entity.
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.
The following blood tests will take longer: Diabetes blood test (Hba1c) – 1 week. Rheumatoid Arthritis blood test – 1 week. Coeliac blood test (endomyssial antibody) – 2 weeks.
Distraction with activities you enjoy: Doing something enjoyable takes your attention elsewhere. Exercise: Many studies have shown that exercise helps reduce stress and anxiety. Relaxation techniques: Try deep breathing, listening to relaxing music, visualization, yoga, meditation, massage, or stretching.
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.
Results may be delayed if the sample is inadequate (not enough blood) or is contaminated, or if the blood cells were destroyed for some reason before reaching the lab. Some tests require you to fast (stop eating) for a certain period of time, usually eight hours.
Some experts recommend that bad news (e.g., cancer diagnosis) be disclosed in person; however, doing so isn't always feasible. Disclosing bad news by phone has become more common since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
required by law to give the results? If you are in imminent danger, the doctor would have to tell you. The doctor usually has a good reason not to share the results over the phone. The doctor may want to do a telemedicine visit or find a time that he or she can call you and go over it.
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.
Sometimes, unforeseen factors can delay a person's results. For instance, a person may not receive their results if the doctor did not collect enough blood or if the blood sample became contaminated. A doctor may reorder the test if the sample is inadequate for any reason.
You may get your blood test results after a few days, and usually within a few weeks. If you do not hear anything after a few weeks, contact the GP surgery or specialist. The GP, nurse, or specialist should talk to you about your results and explain what happens next.
The official report is the same report sent to your doctor. By default, Labcorp Patient displays a streamlined view of most lab results directly in your account. Some results, such as cytology and pathology reports, may only be viewable by downloading the PDF.
When you get a clinical lab test, it's natural to take your results as hard facts. But certain factors can affect the accuracy of the test — like the test manufacturer and what the test is for. Some tests are accurate nearly 100% of the time, while others are well known for being unreliable.
The vast majority of known lab errors — 46 to 68 percent — happen in the pre-analytical phase. Mishandling samples, ordering the wrong test, mixing up patients' names on the sample, or incorrect preparation by the patient are a few examples. Even your blood pressure reading can be inaccurate.
