How to Schedule Your Lab Test
After your virtual visit, once your physician issues a lab referral, you can go directly to a Labcorp location to complete your test.
You have two options:
- Schedule an appointment online for a specific time (recommended to avoid waiting)
- Walk in during operating hours at locations that allow it
Most patients choose the closest Labcorp site and pick a time that works best for them. The process is flexible and designed to fit your schedule.
Using the Labcorp Location Finder
To find and schedule your test:
- Use Labcorp’s location finder by entering your ZIP code or city

- Check:
- Hours of operation
- Available services (not all labs offer every test)
- Whether appointments are required or optional
This ensures you choose the right location and avoid delays.
Limitations and What to Know
- Some Labcorp locations may require appointments, while others accept walk-ins
- Not all tests are available at every location
- Lab testing may involve separate costs depending on your insurance
- Timing for results depends on the type of test ordered
