Following your visit with an AllCare Georgia provider and receiving an order for lab work, you can visit any AllCare Georgia location offering lab hours. Please note that wait times and availability may fluctuate based on the day and location. Our office team will guide you through the next steps upon your arrival at the center.

While many tests do not necessitate fasting (abstaining from food before a lab test), some require fasting for accurate results. If your provider advises fasting before your tests, refrain from consuming food or beverages, except water, for at least 12 hours prior to the test. You can continue taking medications during this fasting period, and it’s advisable to drink ample water to stay hydrated and facilitate an easier blood draw.

No appointment is required. If your AllCare Georgia provider has ordered your test(s), you can visit an AllCare Georgia or Patient Service Location office during lab hours (or after your appointment). If you have inquiries regarding which tests are covered by your insurance plan, we advise you to consult with your insurance company before undergoing your test(s).

The majority of AllCare Georgia clinics offer on-site lab services without requiring an appointment. This allows you to have your blood drawn immediately following a visit (if during drop-in hours) or at your convenience throughout the week.

If you prefer, you can go to an off-site lab such as LabCorp, Quest Diagnostics. Please contact them directly for their respective locations/hours.

Typically, it requires 3 – 7 business days for us to obtain your lab results.

Delays in results may occur during periods of increased lab volume, such as during an epidemic, pandemic, or similar circumstances.

Our Lab Vendors accept many insurance plans as possible, there may be some specific plans that we do not currently participate in. We recommend contacting our office to inquire about your specific insurance plan.

Yes. Like all medical tests, STI tests are strictly confidential. If you know you were exposed to HIV or viral Hepatitis, you should speak with your physician immediately to discuss early preventive treatment options.

The best thing patients can do is hydrate! Drinking plenty of water before your lab visit will make your veins more visible. Also, keep in mind that there are requirements for some tests — you may need to fast for certain tests.

While phlebotomists furnish our patients with materials and collection instructions for stool kits, the samples cannot be collected in the office due to the risk of exposure for both patients and employees.

Similarly, other kits such as saliva test kits or 24-hour urine tests must also be completed at home because the collection process spans an extended period. Although these are completed at home, we provide printed instructions with each kit and verbally review them with you in the office before you depart.

Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate external orders from providers outside of AllCare Georgia.
