Onsite Lab

Stellar Medical group has engaged Labcorp to provide onsite lab services.

A Labcorp onsite blood draw at a Primary Care Physician (PCP) office typically refers to the process of having a blood sample taken for laboratory testing at a location that is either the PCP’s office or a facility that partners with Labcorp. This service makes it convenient for patients, as they can have their blood drawn without needing to visit a standalone Labcorp location or another medical facility.

Here's what typically happens during the process:

1. Scheduling: Your doctor or healthcare provider may request a blood test, and they will either schedule it for you directly with Labcorp or provide instructions for you to do so.
    
2. Onsite Blood Draw: The PCP office will have a Labcorp representative who can draw the blood. This could happen during a regular check-up or as a separate appointment.
    
3. Collection: A phlebotomist (blood-drawing technician) will collect a sample of your blood, usually from a vein in your arm, which is sent to the Labcorp lab for testing.
    
4. Lab Testing: Labcorp processes the sample in their labs to perform the necessary tests, which could range from routine blood work like cholesterol tests, complete blood counts (CBC), or specialized testing depending on what your doctor has ordered.
    
5. Results: After processing, your results will typically be sent back to your doctor or made available for you to access online through the Labcorp patient portal.
    

If you're asking about this service, it’s always a good idea to confirm with your PCP's office if there are any specific preparation steps you need to follow before the blood draw.
