Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get lab test results?
Most test results are delivered to the health care provider who ordered the test within 24 hours of when the test is performed. Some tests take longer to complete. Nearly all test results are reported to the provider within a week.
Can I request my own laboratory tests?
Individuals cannot order tests due to state regulatory requirements. If you are interested in having a specific laboratory test performed, please ask your health care provider if the test is appropriate for you and if he/she can order the test(s) for you.
How can I obtain a copy of my lab results?
At the collection facility, notify registration that you would like a copy of your lab results. They will complete the appropriate form and the laboratory will mail results to you. If you would like the results given to you directly or sent by email please contact Health Information Services at 860-358-6222 and select “0” to speak to a Customer Service Representative. If you would like the results from a previous visit, contact the Laboratory at 860-358-6160 or Health Information Services at 860-358-6222 for guidance.
