Can I request a lab test without a doctor's referral?
Yes, you can request a lab test without a doctor's referral at Laboratory Corporation of America (LabCorp). LabCorp offers Direct Access Testing (DAT) in certain states, which allows patients to directly order lab tests without a doctor's prescription. Through DAT, you are able to select from a wide range of tests and pay for them directly. However, it is important to note that certain states have restrictions on which tests can be requested without a doctor's referral. Additionally, LabCorp encourages patients to share their test results with their healthcare provider for proper interpretation and guidance. It is always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before making any decisions about diagnostic tests for accurate diagnosis and appropriate medical care.
