Lab Draws/Specimen Collection
We are pleased to offer a wide range of lab testing, either by blood or urine collection. Typically, these tests are performed at a very minimal charge. We may be able to utilize your insurance, however, often times our in-house pricing may be cheaper than insurance co-pays. An order from a physician is required before the lab can be drawn. All orders MUST contain the ordering physician's name, signature, practice name, contact information, NPI, date ordered, and diagnosis code(s).
We partner with LabCorp to provide low-cost lab draws to our patients regardless if you are a Camden County resident or not. A Lab Corp courier picks our prepared specimen up each day for approrpriate processing and testing.
If you are over the age of 60 and a Camden County resident, you may qualify for our Senior Tax program! As a recepient, this tax helps pay for a portion of your lab work. Please call us at (573)346-5479 or speak with our front desk staff for more information.
These services are available Monday - Friday from 7:30 am - 11:00 am. Appointments are requested, but walk-ins will always be accepted if appropriate staff and time are available.
Our nurses are also available to provide fasting instructions and lab prices if you have any questions.
All lab results are faxed from Lab Corp to the ordering provider. A free copy for your own records may be picked up by you at the front desk with a valid photo ID. If someone other than yourself will be picking up your lab results, please consult with your attending nurse for proper paperwork completion and signature!
