LabCorp
Reviews and Complaints

So, I had to go to LabCorp to get my blood drawn. It's not my favorite thing to do, because I have a tendency to faint after getting my blood drawn. I told the lady who was going to draw my blood about my past experiences and she didn't seem to care too much. She just told me that I think about it too much and to not think about it. I mean, easier said than done, right?

When she started drawing my blood, she kept telling me to not think about it. I mean, how can I not think about it when there's a needle in my arm? Her approach was not helpful at all. In fact, it made me more anxious and scared. When she was finally done, she noticed that I was crying and shaking. She didn't seem to understand why I was so upset and just rushed me out of the chair. She even told me to leave. I was in shock. I couldn't believe how insensitive she was being.

The other lady who was working there asked if I needed juice or something, but the lady who took my blood told her no and that I just didn't like having my blood taken. I mean, come on. My reaction is not uncommon for someone who has just had blood drawn. I don't understand why she couldn't be more understanding and helpful. Her behavior was not only insensitive, but it was also dangerous. I could have fainted in the parking lot or while I was driving home.

I ended up buying juice from Walgreens and sitting in my car for about an hour while drinking it and trying to calm down. It was a terrible experience. I will never go back to LabCorp for blood work again. It seems like this specific location wasn't the problem, but the people that the company hires in general. Someone should probably look into that.

So, I went to LabCorp to get some blood work done for my 7-month-old baby. The phlebotomist was not very friendly from the start. When I asked her to give me a few minutes to finish nursing my baby, she seemed annoyed and had to come back to the door to hear us. Then, when I asked for a warm compress for my baby's tiny veins, she said they don't do that. I mean, come on, denying a warm compress for a 7-month-old baby should have been a red flag right there!

When the second tech came in, they put a tourniquet on my baby's bare skin for the third time. I mean, you don't even do that to adults! At least she should have used the sleeve that was right there. After the third vial of blood, I asked her to loosen the tourniquet already, but she raised her voice and told me that she knows what she is doing. I loosened the tourniquet myself and told her that my baby was getting a hematoma and the blood would not flow since it was occluded. I'm a nurse myself and used to drawing blood, so I know what I'm talking about.

The phlebotomist got upset that I loosened the tourniquet, and we only got a little bit of blood for our fourth vial, but I'm okay with that. The other three vials were good for the main tests. What I'm not okay with is her telling me, at the end, that I'm gonna have to go somewhere else as she doesn't have enough blood. What!? It sounded like she was going to sabotage my son's specimen, and I hope I'm wrong.

I've never had issues with LabCorp before, and I always use it. But please educate your staff on basics and attitude, and listen to the parents as we know our kids better than you. This is not rocket science.

6/20 double payment was made on Invoice # [protected]. I reached out immediately when I saw this and was told to call back in a few days as they did not have record of duplicate payment. I called back on 6/23 and double payment was acknowledged. I was told that a refund would be processed and it would take 5 to 7 days for me to get the refund. I asked for email confirmation that the refund was initiated by Labcorp, I have had issues previously with billing, and was told that they do not give confirmation that the refund has been started. This is not acceptable.

I am the Lab Tech for Rappahannock Area Health Department in Virginia. I work several different location in my district and for several months our specimens have been rejected. For example: I had 4 Lithium Heparin blood tubes that were hemolyzed by the time they reached the lab, Just Tuesday all my specimens were frozen by the time they reached the lab. I do not freeze my specimens unless test specifies. This is the confirmation number 3143-0D7B065 for the specimens that were frozen and rejected.

On February 18th I went to the Labcorp on Stevens Forest Road in Columbia, MD. I went in with my form for my company's Biometric screening. This test is done at no cost to me due to the company's preventive care policy. Evidently, there was an old order from my primary care doctor, who has not been in practice since January of this year. No one asked them to do the test from my primary care doctor. It was old (from last year) and no longer needed since she was no longer in practice and I did not have a new physician yet. I was only getting my biometric screening done. That is the only paperwork that I submitted to have done that day.

They never asked me about the other test that was in the system. I have tried several times to contact them on this issue, but no return calls have been received. Since I did not ask them to do that screening, I will not be paying for it. it did not go to my doctor and so it is to me is Null and Void. Please correct this as soon as possible.

I have to complain the labCorp 2999 Princeton pike Lawrenceville nj , the black ladies, they did terrible jabs, they did 4 times wrong tests to me last two years ago , now they did it again , twice, are you trying to rid of my money, I showed them right test on the phone which the doctor sent it to me, they still did wrong, l believe your guys try to rid peoples of, I will contact my lawyer for the legal advice.

I am an employee of Activate Healthcare and we submit all of our labs to Labcorp in Charleston, WV. on 5/3/2023 we collected a specimen to test for a bowel situation that the patient was having but the test code was a code that Labcorp didn't perform so they contacted the Nurse Practioner and another test was added the next day which was 5/4/2023. After a couple of days of checking the website for results; 5/9/2023, we finally got a fax stating that Amelia Clark, which is me, reported 5/09/2023 an add on testing and it could not be completed because there was in proper handling of the specimen. When I called to check on this rejection by the NP I was told by a worker, via telephone, and after confronting the situation did the telephone agent admit their wrong handling and not mine. She said the "specimen was thrown out," and that was why it could not be tested, but that was just the form they sent out instead of telling the truth. I could have lost my job or anything had they not have been so understanding. The patient traveled hours to have that test and they tried covering it up and also blame me. So many people were dragged into this and they din't have to. It makes us not believe any type of tests results that ever come from that organization and if you can't trust them who can we trust. I am disgusted with them and I want them to be reported and reprimanded because since working here for 6 months there have been at least three situations that have occurred with Labcorp rejecting specimens du to their mishaps and today was the nail in the head.

Today I went to do labwork at Walgreens located at 11700 SW 120 St Miami Fl 33186. It was 225PM it states offices closed at 3PM.

However all machines were already turned off outside to check in. Knock on the door no answer.

Then a patient was walking out of the office and the door finally opened.

He told me that it’s too late he has to leave at 3PM will take 20 minutes to check for blood clout and another 20 minutes to process the blood that will make him leave after 3PM.

I ask him why does it states then the office closes at 3pm and the place was empty no one else was there and it stated online that you take walk-in when I tried to book an appointment online. What a joke.

Waisted time money and gas to get there before 230pm.

Hi, I took lab orders from 2 different doctors to LabCorp on 4-7-23. I had been told previously that if the same test is ordered on 2 different orders, it would only be run once. Not only did LabCorp run the same test for each doctor, but they came up with different results. I called and was told that doctors cannot share results, so it has to be run for each doctor and that the difference in results is because the blood had been sitting longer for one test than for the other.

I want to file a complaint against the receptionist at this address she threatened me with failing my test and when I went in for the test she was a rude racist and I said I didn't know anything and I was being mean and then when I finished the test I said you need to be polite to me and she used a racial slur and said I'm going to fail my test and I don't think she's qualified for her current job I need you to check out this receptionist

I turned on my stool for testing on March 17th. My OVA parasite results are not in yet. This is absolutely ridiculous. Apparently LabCorp has not concerns for their customers. My doctor is not able to treat my condition because we are still waiting for Lab Corp. Now I know, for my next test I will choose Quest, Labcorp is not reliable. Thank you for caring about my health.

Labcorp - 4704 Ambassador Caffery - Kids Speciality Building - Lafayette LA

Date of Appointment - March 22, 2023

If Labcorp opens at 7:00 a.m., then be ready at 7:00 a.m. I arrived at 6:53 a.m. as well as another lady. No one at the desk and the kiosks not turned on in order to check in. Nurse finally strolls in at 7:00 .m. Front desk girl finally gets to her desk at 7:05 a.m. and finally turns kiosks on. Uncalled for. More people arriving. These people need to be at their desk no later than 6:50 a.m.

So at 7:20 a.m. I am finally called back. 20 minutes later! Person looks like she still unsleep, rude, no smile, after she takes my blood, tells me to leave. This place is so unprofessional. Even the front desk girl is monotone and not friendly. You need to fire everyone over there and rehire people that want to work. What you have over there is not what you want representing Labcorp.

I'm a disabled citizen. There is no handicap button to open the main door to the facility. Than the door to lab-corp itself has no handicapped entry or button . It is very hard to do by myself.

It seems the that is a ADA requirements and you are not abiding by them.

Could you please look in to this.

Thank you

My 13 year old daughter bloodwork done on February 4. The lab test was testing for Turners syndrome and a few other things, the Lab Order form was written for Chromosome Analysis, Whole Blood Constitutional, Lyme total antibody with reflex, Celiac Panel.

On February 23 I received a call from daughter's peditrican asking that I come into the office so we can go over the results of that lab findings. I was told that my daughter was a 46XY and she is being diagnosed with Swyer Syndrome based on the lab findings and that further testing needed to be done along with us obtaining genetic counseling. I was told that my daughter may or may not have ovaries or a uterus and that she would never be able to have a child. I was told that she would probably need surgery to remove possible testes that may be in her abdomen and if that she did have ovaries they too would need to be removed. I did what any mother would do, that was break down emotionally and start making all necessary appointments. I began researching and educating myself on Swyer Syndrome/AIS/Intersex. This news was devastating and almost impossible to wrap my head around as a mother. Afterall I was being told that my daughter, was genetically a male.

Within a week my daughter had more blood drawn and on March 3 she had a ultrasound of the pelvis and kidneys. Within hours after my daughter having this test I received a phone call from our peditrican. I was told that Lab called her office and that the blood results were not my daughter's blood results and that the results were incorrect. She was told the lab found my daughter's blood. This was a huge error on the Lab. This was not a error at the Labcorp location during the blood draw. This was a lab error. I have a copy of the report that was sent to our peditrican. This lab error caused so much emotional devastation and unnecessary testing and claims put through to my insurance company, time lost from work for me and time lost from school for my daughter. This lab error should have never happened.

My wife had lab work done on Oct. 5, 2023. There was an issue with her insurance, whereby when Labcorp processed, the policy number was not correct. After receiving the correct insurance number from the employer, my wife contacted LabCorp to have them re-process the claim with the correct policy number. This never happened and subsequently we kept receiving a bill for the total amount of $ 1.950. Furthermore, on or about early February 2023, my wife completed a from, supplied by LabCorp and submitted this with the correct policy number to have LabCorp reprocess the claim against the correct number. When we returned from vacation in mid-February, she received a notice from Labcorp that this was going to be placed into collections. On Feb. 14th, she called LabCorp, out of frustration and freight that her credit was going to be impacted and paid the entire amount of $ 1,950.00. (Invoice number [protected]).

She had told me what she had done at which time I reached out to the insurance provider, BCBS of Michigan, and they informed me that on Feb. 11th, Labcorp reprocessed the claim. That Labcorp was covered under our insurance and that our out-of-pocket cost for the services was $ 190.38.

What was upsetting at first, was when my wife was on the phone and making payment to Labcorp on Feb. 14th, they told her that the insurance number was invalid, however, they had used the forms that my wife completed and reprocessed against BCBS of Michigan on Feb. 10th.

I had sent a note originally, through the Labcorp portal on Feb. 20th, trying to articulate this problem and overpayment from our end, however, has not been resolved. On March 2nd, I called the [protected] number and started a discussion with Eunice. He placed me on hold never to return on the call and after 20 minutes, I was disconnected. I had called back and had to re-explain the situation to Nile. She was not very cooperative and told me that I had to call back at the end of March to further understand how the transaction was going to finish. I had asked to speak to a supervisor, which I was told no one was available.

The credit card authorization for the full payment is [protected], which was processed on Feb. 14th.

In conclusion, I think it was wrong that on Feb. 14th, when my wife was scared into making the full payment, that Labcorp did not communicate with her that they had reprocessed the claim on Feb. 10th with the correct information. I find it very upsetting that Labcorp is now hanging onto our overpayment of $ 1,759.62 and that it's on me to call back in another month to ascertain the status of the entire claim and refund.

We have been customers of Labcorp for many years and we have always been diligent in our paying our out-of-pocket cost to Labcorp. I feel through lack of communications with my wife on Feb. 14th, when she made full payment that Labcorp did not tell her that they had received the form that she completed and submitted and that Labcorp had reprocessed the claim on Feb. 10th. Had your employe told my wife this, she would have not made the transaction.
