Laboratory

The Laboratory provides a wide selection of routine and urgent testing. Our local testing menu includes:  rapid flu testing, rapid Strep A testing, urinalysis, hematology, serology, and clinical chemistry. For tests not available in-house, we collect and refer to other military or civilian laboratories with a 7 to 14-day turnaround time. The laboratory can accommodate patients from newborns to the elderly and offers testing for routine and urgent care, as well as preventive medicine, to our military family. Requests are processed electronically using the Composite Health Care System. The 19th Medical Group providers create laboratory orders using CHCS, which are then received and processed by the laboratory. Once testing is completed and certified by the lab staff, the results are immediately available, electronically, to the ordering provider. We ask that you contact your provider or clinic for your test results; we are not authorized to release test results to patients. Another option for obtaining your clinical results is b accessing your TRICARE online account, which will display your test results within 7 days after they have been resulted. Laboratory orders from civilian providers are also welcome. Patients wishing to have laboratory testing performed for their civilian provider need to have a written order signed by their doctor along with a valid voice and fax number. Results are faxed to off-base providers once all testing is completed.
