LabCorp
reviews and complaints

Was calling to ask about my bill payment and told the operator that my insurance company didn't take the claim. The lady served me was extremely rude and yelled at me when I couldn't find the information she asked and when I asked her to repeat.

The most terrible experience ever had. Well I guess they don't even care since it is not easy to find people willing to work as operators now.

Utterly ridiculous.

My girlfriend went to Labcorp to get her blood drawn for medical testing. The ended up botching it so badly that she fainted. I am VERY angry.

I don't know what kind of people you're hiring or what training you put them through, but this will not stand. I don't know who to complain to in the company, but there needs to be some accountability here.

I go blood work every month before I see my doctor about my chemo-therapy. There is not much to say about this LABCORP except good and fast service but then suddenly in a few months, service was worse. I was told to wait in my car at least 1 1/2 hrs with or without handicap people. The LABCORP is on the second floor of the building while the parking is away from the building.
After a 1 1/2 hrs waiting LABCORP will call you up. You will come to an empty waiting room and wait again for a few minutes. You will come to a cubicle and wait again for the procedure.
Again you have to wait at least 20 minutes longer than the procedure itself. While waiting, a lot of LABCORP technicians pass your cubicles as if they are busy of something.

THIS COMPANY IS THE WORST!
I had a refrigerated specimen to drop off the day after Thanksgiving, so I called first to make sure they would be open. No answer, as usual, because they don't answer their phones.
Went online and website said they would be open until 4:30. Went way out of my way to get there, only to find they were closed that day.
Took specimen back home to refrigerator and drove to a different Labcorp on Monday, only to find THEY WERE CLOSED! I was on my way out of town so had to stop at a gas station to get ice to refrigerate the specimen. At this point, I don't even know if the specimen is still good!
Called Labcorp customer service today and spoke with Deja who had a horrible attitude couldn't care less about customers!
When I mentioned that they should at least say on their website that they will be closed, she said, THERE IS NO WAY FOR THEM TO DO THAT!

My 14-1/2 years daughter's bloodwork was done on Oct 30, 2021 with overnight fasting (Blood work done in the morning of Oct 30 ~9:00 AM) and her cumulative rest results from LabCorp (Reviewed with PCP on Nov 05, 2021) indicated elevated results as below (She is not on any medication or has known allergies, or any previous medical conditions.

Based on this test results Endocrinology Specialist of Children Hospital Emergency Team concluded that her ALL test results are normal and has no sugar, insulin, Ketones, Triglycerides or "NO DIABITICS" either Type 1 or Type 2 and she was discharged from ER on Nov 12, 2021. I have all objective evidence of test results in electronic format.

Test results from Lap Corp were indication of chronical illness and after pain, mental, physical suffering Children Hospital Endocrinology Specialist team concluded "No Diabetic, no Medication, No Insulin Need". She end up missing few days of high school, and as a parents we end up rack of ER and and specialists Bills to pay.

Do yourself a favor and learn from others experience.

I was charged $750 for basic pap lab work. This have never costed more than $150 before anywhere. This company is a complete scam and uses pricing that should be illegal. This company is a great example of everything wrong with the US healthcare system. The price gouging is insane and I would not recommend that anyone uses labcorp for any lab work that they need completed.

Dear Shawnta Belton,
As Tamara Smith supervisor, I would like for you to be aware of my customer experience at your LabCorp 1160 Varnum St NE STE 306 location today. I had an appointment for 7:30am Nov 8th 20121. I arrived on time and checked in on automated system. I was call to the desk by Tamara Smith and the conversation as I recall went like this:

Tamara: "Patillo"

Derrek: Handed the Labcorp form I received from my Dr Monika Mannan.

Tamara: "What is the Doctors Name"

Derrek: "It is on the form in the corner of the form"

Tamara: "I just ask you for the doctor name"

Derrek: "OK…..Dr Mannan and by the way I have three doctors that need the results"

Tamara: "We don't do that. We can only send to the doctor on the form"

Derrek: "That was not what I was told"

Tamara: "So do you want to talk to somebody else"

Derrek: "No….it was just what I was told….look I am not looking for any problems or drama here"

Tamara: "See that is what I am talking about" - referring to my preserved attitude"

Derrek: "Look I don't know what side of the bed you got up on but it is no reason for you to come off on me that that…this is poor customer service"

Tamara: "You have an estimated balance of $39.25 do you want to pay it now or have it bill to you"

Derrek: "You said estimated so if I pay now and they determine more fees…will they send me a second bill?

Tamara: "No is it just $39 dollars…..sign the bottom of the form"

Derrek: Since it was two places to that required a signature, I asked for clarification, "Do I sign in both places"

Tamara: "Did you not hear me…I ask at the bottom"

Derrek: "Look lady I just asked for clarification…I don't believe how I am being treated here"

Tamara: "You have do a urine test…take this cup to the back when you are done and set it on the counter"

Derrek: I thought she was going to hand it to me once I entered the office area behind the door for the opening in the lobby was too small to place a cup through so I entered the lab areas and walked to the lab #2 I believe where I ask the lab technician I need a cup.

Lab Technician #1: "Do you need help"

Derrek: "Yes, I lost and need a cup"

Tamara: Yelled from around the corner "I told you to take this cup that I left on the counter...and you just left it"

Derrek: Speaking to Lab Technician #1: " Sorry but I don't know what her problem is but can you tell her to stop talking to me…she is disrespectful and I have checked out of the conversation with her, and I did not see a cup she is talking about…by the way what is here name"

Tamara: After hearing me asked what her name was…she came around the corner and got in my face " I will tell you my name it is Tamara Smith and you the one being disrespectful…"

Derrek: Speaking to Lab Technician #1 " Please tell her to stop talking to me and cannot believe the lack of customer service here." I proceeded to the bathroom to give the urine sample the back and further between Tamara and I continued. Very inappropriate words were exchanged by both her and me during this time period. The conversation ended once I came out of the bathroom with the sample that I placed on the counter.

Lab Technician #2 Took my blood and apologized for the incident.

Derrek: I asked for the corporate office information and Lab Technician #2 provided me with requested information:

Overall, I could not believe the terrible service I received and was traumatized with her confronting me and approaching me from around the counter in an aggressive manner. She also continued to goat me as into a physical confrontation. I am writing to you regarding this incident for a was upset and do not plan to come back to this location if this I the type of people you hire to great and assist customers. I received attitude and toxic behavior from a first encounter that is location.

Regards,

DERREK PATILLO

On Monday evening, November 1st at 7:00 pm, I was at the CVS drive thru located at 720 Round Hill Drive, Orange, Va. I was in the process of speaking with the attendant to purchase my prescription, when another person pulled up to the drop off window. The driver got out of the vehicle, walked over to my vehicle & began to fuss at me because I was parked too close to the Labcorp Box.

I continued my conversation with the store attendant, & this white female between the age of 55-60, then walked over to my driver's side window & started cussing me to hurry up.

The woman was driving a White Honda van with Va tag UPB - 5816. To be perfectly honest, I was startled by her behavior & concerned she may become violent.

I finished my transaction & the woman followed me thru the parking lot blowing her horn & later passed me on a solid line on Rt 15 South I'm town limits.

This is VERY unprofessional & dangerous. I hope with the information/description this woman will be recognized by Labcorp & spoken to by her immediate supervisor. I completely understand we all are short on time, but her behavior was not only rude but dangerous. I should have called 911 or better yet, got out of my car & whipped her [censored]!

july 6 2021 pamela leibl went to labcorp for series of tests as so directed by her dr. refer to invoice [protected] of whichcomp metabolic panel, lipid panel, ldl, hemoglobin, tsh, uric acidvenipuncture all tests were obviously coded correctly from dr office or they would not have been paid. all tests were less money than vitamin test b12.
i called dr billing office at cny family practice and they told me it should of been covered as it has been in past, nothing new.they also informed me that the $106 for vit b12 test is absolutely outrageous price. hence illegal to bill diff price to me than medicare, so we have coorsion of signing form or no service to outrageous charge for simple b12 test to phone calls from cny family practice that this company is noted for frauding us consumers . i think full investigation, heavy fine, and $5000 fine proceeds to me is in order/.if they dont get enough money they just bill consumer xtra. this muist be stopped . medicare fraud they need put class action suit against this company and officers put in jail. this fraud on american consumers and insurance agencies must be stopped. so now im being threatened for collection asgency. . new management must be in order, old management must be fined and jailed. where do we go from here?

10/23/21 — traveled about 20 miles to get a standing order for pt/inr. This is the same type of order I have used for at least 4 years. Went to register for the test and was informed my standing ordered had expired june of this year. I told them I had given them a new order, which they didn't have orb missed placed. Told them I had a copy and they remarked I should carry it with me (only had a copy to remind me when I needed a new request) then tey suggested I go home and get the order, I am 83 years and would have to travel 20 miles home and 20 miles back) not very happy with the service. And have reported it to medicare fraud unit, bc/bs. And state and federal license certifications. As I stated I have used this site for about 4 years. And have not seen as much turn over in staff as seen in pass 6 months, why? Don't know. And not mine. I do have my copy of the order which I have written in red my reminder. It better be accepted! By the way I have had pt/inr done july august and sept. How did I have it done without current order? Barbara a faillace, 9 chesapeake circle, earleville, md, 21919 — [protected]

Truly a horrible organization. I had an appointment scheduled for blood work, and the night before I'm scheduled to go in, I receive a call saying my lab location was closed due to an emergency. Ok, I understand. These things happen, but they said my appointment time would be transferred to another site. I tried to confirm this by phone, but no one ever picked up or returned my message. I went to the new site, which was considerably farther away, and it was closed. I then went to a different site, and they were supposedly out to lunch, but would return by 12:30. The time was 1PM. I waited like an idiot for another half hour and left.

My wife was at the facility today at Monday 10/11/2021 at 10 am for drug test
Beverly the employee there was very unprofessional and rude, she asked my wife to take of here sweetshirt she is wearing and my wife explained that she can't for religious reasons, she insisted in making her take her shirt off and made her walk outside the room to sign papers, that was very humiliating
I tried to reach Becky the supervisor for the lab many times but got no response

1. Check in is disorganized
2. Check in lady is rude
3. People are all over In the outside of the office. When they call your name Un able to hear.
4. You give you cell number upon check in and they don't text you.
5. This has happened in previous visit.
6. Check in machines not work, when advising receptionist she didn't seem to care weather they did or not. It took several of us patients to complain before she got up to check it out.

I am on a very serious CANCER treatment requiring weekly lab tests. I have had 4 sessions with Lab Corp. 2 of them were not complete and I had to go elsewhere to get them done. My situation is Life Threatening and I cannot have my infusion without the Dr. s ok. I have had to postpone two of these infusions because of incomplete lab tests and a very bad technician sticking me so many times that I could not use that arm for 6 weeks. You should not charge my ins. for these mistakes and I will let you know what my future is without the my infusions. I am seeing my Dr. soon and will discuss this again. I expect a
