How long does it take to receive lab test results through DrHouse?
The turnaround time for lab test results can vary depending on the specific tests ordered:
- Routine tests: Results for common tests, such as a complete blood count (CBC) or basic metabolic panel, are typically available within 1 to 3 days.
- Specialized tests: More complex tests may take longer, ranging from 4 to 7 days or more, depending on the analysis required.
Once your results are ready, they will be securely sent to your DrHouse doctor, who will then review and discuss them with you during a follow-up appointment. You can also request access to your results at any time by emailing our support team at support@drhouse.com or by starting a live chat within the DrHouse app.
If you have any concerns about the turnaround time or need your results urgently, please inform your doctor, and they will do their best to accommodate your needs.
