How You Receive Your Results
After you complete your lab test at Labcorp, the results are sent back to the physician who ordered them through DrHouse.
Your doctor will:
- Review the results
- Interpret what they mean for your health
- Recommend next steps if needed (treatment, more testing, etc.)
To go over your results, you can schedule a follow-up virtual visit in the app.
What to Expect
During your follow-up:
- The physician explains your results in plain language
- You can ask questions about anything unclear
- If needed, you may receive treatment, prescriptions, or additional referrals
This ensures your results are not just delivered—but properly explained and acted on.
Limitations and What to Know
- Results are reviewed by a physician first, not sent directly to you through the platform
- You may need to book a follow-up visit to discuss them
- Timing varies depending on the test and lab processing
- Some results may require additional evaluation or repeat testing
