Laboratory

The lab provides a full range of services including surgical pathology, cyto-pathology, hematology, coagulation, chemistry, urinalysis, serology, microbiology, and transfusion services. Lab tests not performed at this site are referred to an accredited referral lab for testing. Referral tests may take approximately two weeks. All patients requiring fasting blood tests must fast 12 to 14 hours unless otherwise directed by the requesting provider; only water is authorized. You may also take prescription medications, as directed by your provider, during this time.

For glucose tolerance testing, or GTT, patients will remain in laboratory until completion. One-hour GTT for obstetrician patients are performed Monday - Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. No fasting is required for this test. Two and three-hour GTT patients must be scheduled in advance. Note: Requesting providers' orders must be in the computer system at the time of scheduling. In addition, a 12-hour fast is required prior to specimen collection. 

To obtain lab results, please contact your requesting provider. Printed copies of lab test results may be obtained through the Release of Information office, located in the Outpatient Records department.

Labs ordered by off-base providers must include a wet signature/e-signature (add e-signature to criteria).

To avoid unnecessary delays written orders must include:

  • Provider's drug enforcement administration, or DEA, number and license number
  • National provider identifier, or NPI, number
  • International classification of diseases, or ICD, diagnosis codes
  • Clinic address
  • Telephone and fax numbers
  • A wet signature

Lab results will be sent via fax to the ordering or requesting provider. Questions regarding ordered tests must be directed to the requesting provider.
