Lab Tests & Screenings

The lab provides walk-in health screenings and rapid in-house testing. We also partner with outside reference labs to provide a full range of testing. Call 803-777-3175.

Request a Test

You can request any of the following screenings yourself through MyHealthSpace or at any kiosk in the Center for Health and Well-Being. Your doctor will need to order any test that's not on this list.

 

Tests and Screenings

  • Cholesterol Testing
  • Diabetes Screening
  • Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)
  • Sickle Cell Screening
  • Antibody Titers
  • Blood Type and Rh Testing
  • Immigration Physicals

 

Fasting Before Your Test

We recommend fasting overnight or 10 to 12 hours for any test that requires it. That will make sure you're in a basal metabolic state and will produce more accurate test results.
Avoid: All food and beverages including coffee, tea and sugar-free products.
Drink Water: Hydration produces the best lab results. 

 

Getting Your Results

How you get your test results will depend on what kind of test or screening you had done. We can only provide information about the test and report format. Contact your health care provider with questions about your results.

Your screening results will be available on your MyHealthSpace account after a licensed health care professional reviews them. If any follow up is needed, your provider will contact you directly.

Your lab test results will go directly to the doctor that requested them. The lab cannot provide the results of doctor-ordered tests over the phone under any circumstances.

Patient Services will release results about STIs and HIV/AIDS to you.

These lab results fall under the category of privileged information in our privacy practices.

If your results are positive or there is a concern, you will be contacted to schedule a follow up appointment. Negative results will be sent via secure message in MyHealthSpace. You should receive results within 48-72 hours.

 

Outside Lab Orders

Licensed providers may fax orders directly to the laboratory at 803-576-5668 or 866-245-2537. There is a $25 handling fee for all outside orders. All orders must include:

  • Two patient identifiers (name, date of birth or social security number)
  • The health care provider's name and signature
  • The health care provider's phone and fax numbers
  • Diagnosis code (ICD10)
  • Clearly listed tests (LabCorp test numbers may help clarify panel requests)

Challenge the conventional. Create the exceptional. No Limits.
