Comprehensive Lab Testing Services

  • Comprehensive chemistry testing, which analyzes blood and other body fluids. Examples of chemistry tests include blood tests to measure cholesterol, glucose or medication levels, urinalysis, and analysis of semen or fecal samples.
  • Hematology testing, which analyzes the amount and function of blood cells and plasma. Common examples of this type of testing include the Complete Blood Count (CBC) and coagulation testing.
  • Microbiology testing for the detection of bacterial, fungal, viral and parasitic infections
  • Transfusion medicine - the blood bank at Day Kimball Hospital provides top-quality blood transfusion services for hospital patients
  • In-home blood draw services, when ordered by a doctor

Our Integrated Network Provides Fast, Reliable Results

No matter which of our service locations you visit for your lab work, our integrated system means that your care team will have access to your test results as soon as they’re available, through our electronic medical records (EMR) system. This results in a shorter wait time for you to receive results, and also helps to eliminate errors and redundant services, so you can better control your health care costs.

Billing and Payment Information

Please check with your insurance carrier for details about your specific coverage, copays, deductibles and any prior authorization requirements. You will receive a bill from Day Kimball Hospital for the lab testing portion of your service, and a bill from either University Pathologists or another associated pathology provider for the professional test interpretation portion. If you have questions about your Day Kimball Hospital bill or need help paying for care, please contact our team of financial counselors. For more information, visit our billing page.

What To Expect

We strive to accommodate patients of all ages in a compassionate and timely manner. To better serve you, please be aware of the following:

  • Due to Joint Commission Standards, the laboratory will not be able to collect a specimen (blood or otherwise) without an order from your physician. If you do not have an order and one has not been faxed to us in advance, we will be unable to provide services to you until the orders are received.
  • Some specialized laboratory specimens can only be collected early on weekdays due to testing requirements.
  • Morning hours tend to be the busiest due to requirements for certain tests, so please keep this in mind when scheduling your day.
  • Insurance information will be required at the time of service prior to all testing and may include signing an Advanced Beneficiary Notice (ABN) if the patient has Medicare.
  • If the doctor has sent the lab requisition prior to your visit or if you have standing or Oncology orders, please indicate this to the registration or lab personnel. This will help us find your order in a timely manner.
  • If the reports are to go to an out-of-town physician, please have the doctor’s name and address so we can send the report as requested.
  • Remember to wear loose-sleeved clothing so that we can comfortably examine your arm for an appropriate site.
  • We are staffed with experienced phlebotomists but if you have a personal request or want your blood drawn from a specific site please let us know and we will try to accommodate you.
