Where to Go for Your Lab Test
Once a DrHouse physician orders a lab test, you’ll be referred to a Labcorp facility. Labcorp has a large network of locations across the United States, making it easy to find a nearby testing site.
You simply visit a convenient Labcorp location to complete your test. The referral provided during your virtual visit allows the lab to perform the specific tests your doctor ordered.
Find a Labcorp Location
DrHouse lab referrals are completed at Labcorp locations across the United States. After receiving your referral, you can use Labcorp’s location finder to search for the most convenient testing site near you.
