Their billing methods to physician is fraudulent. Their contract rate and actual billing rate should be compared every month before paying their bills.I have been cheated. They do not pick up the specimens when they are asked to. They do not send the reports on time. Each lab service has two componants. Technical and professional. They do only the technical componant. We, the physician take rest of the liability of professional componant. And we do not get paid appropriately. Does this make sense? And this is due to Labcorp signing exclusive contracts with some insurance company. Beware of this Laboratory and their deals with insurance companies. To all physicians:

LabCorp signed for the bio and lost it.. DHL delivered... now here comes the winner... I had a third and have cancer.. now I'm a year into seeing the surgeon becuase the first lost samples caused the second to be a flase negative and there are waiting periods in between. Your company, LABCORP are grossly negelctful and may be criminal negectful which is what I hope to find out. In the mean time I'm the one that suffers not the people who signed, not the LAB, you are an idiot, a fool, a careless, neglectful bunch of shameless and careless people who should be held perosnally liable.

An employee at LABCORP signed the DHL and the bio was lost. Simple. Gross neglect, criminal neglect. When people speak of damages here be careful... Ordinary citizens who run red signal lights get tickets and pay punitive damages.... LabCorp must be shook up someway enough to get control over human tissue samples...

Perhaps that specific site that you visited had recently changed operation hours and you assumed that they were open when they were not. Or maybe the employees did close early, but show me any businesses big or small that doesn’t do this when they think they can get away with it. Your response to another LabCorp employee was “if what I am posting is untrue then call your boss at LabCorp and sue me. That’s where I want this to go. I want to publicly show how bad LabCorp is so that the regulators and investigators finally move in. And by the way, as a LabCorp employee, how many patients have you mistreated and how many got wrong results from blood that you drew? I am sure that it’s just another work day at LabCorp. You sleep better at night, right?” So basically you want money from LabCorp because you were unsatisfied, well if that was really the way things work I want money from you for slander. You personally have issued your claims against both LabCorp and employee, which you named. Do you have permission to name these individuals, because if you don’t your actions are illegal, and I know that you don’t have their permission but you feel it’s okay right because you were wronged. Ask any person on the street if they have a complaint with a large corporation, or felt wronged in one way or another and they will say yes. Ask those same individuals if they set up a website, and I bet they would say no. If you had really felt so wrong, why not try and contact corporate offices. Who is to say you didn’t curse at the person on the phone, it’s your word against her’s and she is not here to defend herself. You sir are a bully, and the worst kind the kind that places blame on everyone but never considers how your actions could affect millions of people.

Result turn around for normal chemistry is 24hrs, other testing can take up to 48, and biopsy's can take up to 1 week, but I have never heard of a test taking over a month, unless of course it is a fungal culture, which needs time to either grow or not. Therefore unless your wife had a fungal culture LabCorp would have released results, and even on a fungal culture we release preliminary results. So my suggestion is maybe, just maybe your doctor is to blame for this problem. As a former nurse I know that results can go missing all the time from your desk and they can sit in dr's in box for up to a week at a time. Emilo

Took another BIO, but it seems this one may have been a false negative becuase of the evasiveness of the first. Levels of PSA up allot, T down...seems...my doc is very very upset, he can not treat the T becuase it may flair up a c cell... What do I do... can't sleep at night, taking meds for night terrors, gave up one business, about to close another... leave in constant fear.. Waiting on time for another bio and then a radical if necessary.. Doc says wait a two months for next bio... LABCORP sends me a letter..."we mishandled it, lost it, we'll give you a free one!" Crap having this thing rammed up me and 12 samples taken is not a chicken dinner... I have the letters....should I simply take them to court for actual and huge punitive claim?

This was 1 month ago. She checked w/her Dr. 2 weeks after tests for results. Dr. had not rec'd. results yet. Dr. office called Lab Corp and was told they would check on result status. My wife checked 2 weeks later and Dr. office still has not rec'd. results yet. Why would test results take this long? My wife has problems and needs immediate attention but Dr. says he cannot proceed w/ diagnoses /meds/etc., until he receives results from tests. Per our insurance co. , this is the onle place in Fresno, ca that is covered under our insurance. This is crazy, and needs resolution immedietely. If something bad happens to wife, that could have been prevented if she would have had earlier treatment, legal action will be taken. My wife had some blood work done at Lab corp in Fresno, ca.
