LabCorp sucks! From test results to managing employees, LabCorp has gone from being a decent service provider to being one of the worst clinical laboratory service providers in America. Bottom line, we are fed up and want the world to know the truth about LabCorp.

Lab corp sucks
I am still trying to find the website: Mylabcorp.com to check in on my
earnings and such. Every time I try and log on I get the error message
that the page no longer exists? Is anyone else having the same problem?
https://www.mylabcorp.com/lc3000/Members/UserLogin.aspx
here is the link sounds like that was during the time they were working on it call H.R. they would have been able to help you
Yes call the HR, but dont hold your breath on it, because it will be sometime before you get any response. First of all their policy is not pick up the phone, and when you leave a message, I dont think they ever check their messages, so good luck because you are going to need it. It seems that they had change the website, and if you use the search engine and type mylabcorp you will get to it.
Wow! After reading some of these posts, I am glad you guys no longer work here! Thanks for quitting. Thanks for the laughs.
It’s hard enough being understaffed and overly busy without co-workers with bad attitudes.
HR is there but busy. They do return calls, I have never had a question that wasn’t answered almost right away, try sending an email..I have always gotten fast responses.
I have lost numbers to my supervisor, is there a way that you can give me the number to Accessioning Department, my supervisor name is Julian Ho and Patric Omerea.
I take great defense to the fact that somebody would actually state “It’s not the laboratory personnel that quickly runs blood tests through the system so that they can meet their daily quota, disregarding the quality standards that insure the accuracy of the tests”. Let it be known that of all of the places that I have been employed, LabCorp is the most strict concerning quality assurance. Not to mention that the laboratorians employed by LabCorp are educated and certified by governing agencies and that they perform proficiency testing just like every other accredtited lab in the country. I assure you that I would never disregard a patients well being when it comes to their results. I speak for all laboratorians when I say that every single specimen that comes into the lab is treated as if it belongs to our own family member, whether it be at LabCorp or elsewhere. I can also tell you that every single result that I release from the LabCorp lab where I work is accurate. Sometimes people need to look at the whole picture. For example needing clarification on a physicians orders means that your physician did not specify which test of the many thousands LabCorp offers clearly enough for the order to be translated. This also means that while you were waiting that 20 minutes in the waiting room a LabCorp employee was calling your doctor for clarification and they 1. did not answer the phone, or 2. did not return our call. This is protecting you and ensuring that you are not being improperly charged for a battery of tests(ie. a panel)versus the single test your physician thought they were ordering (i.e. fraud protection). I can’t justify your experience with the patient service centers, but I can say that the ones in my area are the exact opposite of what you described. I think that it is necessary for you to look at LabCorp collectively and not be so quick to judge. You had a bad experience at two locations not all of them. I guess its true when people say that you can’t please everyone.
I agree with MN and an employee. “Thanks for quitting”… I imagine you were probably fired! Only qualified professionals with good attitudes are welcome aboard!
I work with a lab that was bought out by LabCorp. We are located inside a hospital and today the Burlington lab called to report they had made an error. We sent a stat Eth. Glyc. to them and they reported the result as Undetectable (Negative). That was 2 weeks ago. Today they call and say, “We were pulling results for Qual. Assurance and discovered that this result is wrong. The correct value should have been 56.” They caused direct patient harm by incorrectly resulting. Their excuse, “This person was new and didn’t do a proper setup.”
I am trying to get onto mylabcorp.com to also look up paycheck and other personnel stuff. The website just disappeared. There are other ones but not for the employees. What’s going on? We never have time at work so lots of times I have to do this stuff at home. If there are updates being done, why are the employees not being notified?
I worked for LabCorp for 2 years. During the first year and a half, it was wonderful. I worked in an busy office with wonderful Med techs. Then in November of 2007 the practice sold their labs out to LabCorp. So then we all were LabCorp employess. At this point LabCorp had not done any wrong to me. When LabCorp became the head of the lab, they (management)became evil. My previous Supervisor was wonderful! I never saw her except when she needed to bring the rewards I had earned or to do a review. But when they changed over I got a new Supervisor. Lab Corp became a bad place to work. According to my ” NEW SUPERVISOR” They had done a lot of restructoring. Well, I learn that this is Lab Corps way. They restructor everytime they are under fire.
I learned a lot from LabCorp. I really can not say that they had done me wrong. I can say that I do not want to be employed by LabCorp again. That is if I can help it.
As far as lab tests, being late as I had read in this blog site. My results for Patients were always back the next day. Unless it was a speciality test that took longer. If these test were not back at a certain time frame, then it is up to the site service office to make sure that they were back. And if not, why.
For Persons that had bad draws than they need to complain and not just let it go. A bad stick will always make the Patient be learie of getting it drawn anywhere else.
” Ex- LabCorp Employee”
I am in a position to offer you pay-back against LabCorp. In the past 2-3 years I and a few others have had our lives negatively affected by LabCorp’s business practices and by their treatment of their employees. LabCorp like other public- traded companies takes the interest of its stockholders over its employees and customers. While there are companies that maintain this balance LabCorp goes above and beyond what is acceptable to expand their bottom line at the expense of their employees and contractors. LabCorp will under-staff PSC’s jeopardizing the safety of their clients and the safety of their employees and their recent rescinding of a hiring freeze is no justification of their past practices. Neither is their demand of shifting of their cost liabilities to their contractors.
Because of that and the current economic crisis we and our internal group (The Lab Rats) have decided to declare Jihad (Hey it works for the Muslims!) against LabCorp. We have over the past years attempted to bring a specific issue to the attention of several state and federal agencies to no avail. Apparently nobody in any branch of government seems to care about what we have uncovered. The information we have compiled WILL cripple LabCorp’s method of doing business not to mention it will completely erode any confidence that their clients may have. This Information WILL effectively cut LabCorp’s price per share 50% if not more. It will also affect Quest, Bio-Reference Labs, etc.
In the next couple weeks we will be making a video about how to exploit the information we have uncovered to one’s own personal benefit. If any employee of LabCorp has any additional information (emails, general observations, video, audio, anyone you would like to throw under a bus, etc) the send it to 1nf4d3l@gmail.com. If you require assistance for gathering information we will be more than happy to help. We will be releasing this video AFTER Jan, 20, 2009 for strategic reasons.
