Can I get lab tests without seeing a provider first?

Quick Answer

At Good Health NC, no — labs are ordered as part of a clinician visit because the results need medical interpretation and follow-up. If you've had a recent visit with another provider and need a repeat draw, we can usually accommodate by accepting the outside order. For complete walk-in lab testing without an order, retail testing services exist, but the trade-off is no clinician on the back end to explain or act on the results.
