Medical laboratory technologists and medical laboratory physicians such as pathologists provide information needed to screen for disease, diagnose, treat, and monitor your medical condition. Testing procedures in Horizon laboratories are performed using the latest technology, accreditation standards and guidelines to ensure quality patient care. Your laboratory results are kept strictly confidential and will be sent to your health care provider as soon as they are available.

How do I prepare for a test? Your health care provider will tell you how to prepare for a test. Some instructions are available online by clicking here. Please feel free to share your concerns with our laboratory staff if you are nervous about having your blood taken or other procedures. Your comfort is important to us. Please remember: You must present either your Medicare card or a piece of valid government-issued identification to have a test done. Should I be concerned about my privacy? We take your privacy seriously. We ask for your personal information to ensure samples and test results match with the right person. Results are kept in strict confidence at all times and only your health care provider will be able to access test results. Click here to read more about personal health information and privacy. When can I expect to receive test results? Our laboratory works to provide health care providers test results in a timely manner. Most routine test results are ready within 24 hours of collection. Specialized testing may take longer, sometimes up to two weeks to one month. Results are not provided directly to the patient unless the health care provider has made arrangements for the patient to receive and self-monitor as in INR testing to monitor blood-thinning medicines. Therefore, you can expect to receive test results from your health care provider. Note: Appointments are needed at all locations.
