Frequently Asked Questions about Laboratory Appointments

Do I need to schedule an appointment?

Yes. The laboratory is appointment only.

My provider wants me to have lab tests collected. Can I go directly to the lab after my visit?

Each clinic laboratory reserves a certain number of visits each day for patients to have a lab test directly after their appointment, as long as patients check in before 4:45 pm. A member of your care team can take you to the laboratory for your test. If your appointment is at the Clinic and Specialty Center, your team will direct you to the second floor registration desk to check in for a lab visit.

After 4:45pm, patients are asked to make an appointment for a return visit by using MyChart or calling the Connection Center at (612) 873-6963.

My provider wants me to have lab tests collected, but I need to come back on a different day. What do I do?

Please make a laboratory appointment by using MyChart or by calling the Connection Center at (612) 873-6963. All return visits must have a scheduled appointment.

I need to collect a lab sample at home. Do I need a laboratory appointment to drop it off?

You do not need an appointment to drop off a sample collected at home. Samples may be dropped off at the following locations between 8 am – 4:30 pm Monday – Friday (except on holidays).
