How to download your lab results from Labcorp
Labcorp is one of the two large national labs in the US. If your doctor sent you to a Labcorp patient service center, or drew blood in the office and shipped it out, Labcorp produced the report. Your doctor gets a copy, and so can you.
Labcorp’s copy does not depend on any one doctor. It covers tests ordered by a practice you have since left, by an urgent care clinic, or by a telehealth service whose portal you never set up. Here are four ways to get it.
Menu names below follow Labcorp’s own help pages as of October 2026. If a name does not match what you see, look for the nearest equivalent.
1. Download the official report from MyLabcorp
Labcorp’s patient account is free. Labcorp has renamed it: the MyLabcorp app replaced the Labcorp Patient app. Labcorp says the Labcorp Patient website is still available, and both use the same login, so an older account still works. (Labcorp: MyLabcorp)
To save a report:
- Sign in at MyLabcorp.com or in the MyLabcorp app.
- Select Results in the main menu.
- If you manage results for other people, select the person.
- Open the result you want.
- Select Download Your Official Report. In the app there is also a download icon at the top right.
The file is a PDF, and Labcorp describes it as the same report your provider receives. (Labcorp help: printing lab results)
Best for: most people. It is free, quick, and gives you the lab’s own report.
What you get: one PDF per report, with the test name, your result, any flag, the unit, Labcorp’s reference interval, and the collection date. Newer Labcorp reports also print your previous result for the same test.
Things to know:
- History goes back a long way. Labcorp says your account shows past results going back 15 years, to 2011. That is more than most portals offer, and it is worth downloading all of it once.
- Timing. Labcorp says results reach your account at the same time they are reported to your provider, unless state or federal law restricts the timing. Many tests are reported in 24 to 48 hours, some take up to two weeks, and genetic tests can take up to 21 days. (Labcorp: test results)
- Some results are not there. Labcorp notes that some results, such as employee drug screening, are not available in your account.
- Family results need linking. To see results for a child or someone in your care, request access under Linked Accounts or Manage Access.
- It is one report at a time. Fifteen years of history is a lot of clicking.
HealthViewer reads Labcorp patient reports and shows every value it extracted for you to check before saving. To bring in a long history at once, save all the PDFs to a folder and use bulk import.
2. Send your results to Apple Health
Labcorp was the first national lab to join Apple’s Health Records feature, in 2018. On an iPhone, you add Labcorp as an account under Health Records in the Health app and sign in with your Labcorp login. Your results then appear next to records from any hospitals and clinics you have connected. (Labcorp announcement)
Best for: people who want to look up a result on their phone and already keep other records in Apple Health.
Things to know: this is a way to view results, not a file you can move. The records stay on your iPhone, and there is no equivalent on Android or on a computer. HealthViewer’s Apple Health import reads device data such as heart rate, sleep, and weight, not lab records, so for labs use the Labcorp PDFs.
3. Ask Labcorp for a copy
You do not need an online account. Labcorp’s privacy notice lists three other ways to get your reports: ask for a courtesy copy at a Labcorp patient service center, complete Labcorp’s HIPAA Patient Request Form, or contact Labcorp’s Privacy Officer. Labcorp says it will usually provide a copy within 30 days and may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee. (Labcorp: HIPAA information)
Best for: results older than your account shows, results that are not released online, people who would rather not create an account, and requests on behalf of someone else.
Things to know: this is a legal right, not a courtesy. Since 2014, federal rules have let laboratories give completed test reports directly to patients (42 CFR 493.1291(l)), and the HIPAA right of access (45 CFR 164.524) applies to labs as it does to doctors. The lab must respond within 30 calendar days, with one 30-day extension allowed if it tells you in writing why. (HHS guidance on the right of access)
Be specific in the request. Give your full name, date of birth, any earlier names or addresses, and the date range you want. A lab matches reports to people by those details, and a request under a new surname may come back thin.
4. Get the results from your doctor’s portal
The doctor who ordered the test received Labcorp’s report, and most practices file it in your chart. If the practice has a patient portal, the result is probably there too.
Best for: people who already use the portal and want one place to look.
Things to know:
- The portal may show the values without the full Labcorp report, and may relabel the tests.
- It holds only what that practice ordered. Tests ordered elsewhere are not there, but they are in your Labcorp account.
- If your doctor’s portal is MyChart, see How to download your lab results from MyChart.
Which one should you use?
| If you want to… | Use |
|---|---|
| Keep your own copy of each report | The official report from MyLabcorp |
| Look up a result on your iPhone | Apple Health |
| Get results that are not online, or without an account | A request to Labcorp |
| See Labcorp results next to your doctor’s other records | Your doctor’s portal |
For most people the answer is MyLabcorp. Download the whole back catalog once, then save each new report when it arrives.
After you download
A few checks save confusion later:
- Duplicates. A test your doctor ordered can show up twice: once in the Labcorp PDF and once in your doctor’s portal. Keep one.
- Previous results. Newer Labcorp reports print your last result beside the current one. It is the same value you already have from the earlier report, so do not record it twice.
- Dates. A report lists when the sample was collected, when the lab received it, and when the result was reported. Use the collection date. That is when the value was true.
- Reference intervals. Labcorp’s intervals apply to Labcorp’s methods. If some of your results come from another lab, keep the range that came with each result.
Once the reports are in one place, the next step is reading them as a history rather than one report at a time. How to track your lab results over time walks through that, and Where should your lab results live? compares the places you can keep them. If some of your tests went to the other large national lab, see How to download your lab results from Quest. If you want a private place for all of it, HealthViewer is a lab results tracker that stores everything in an encrypted file on your own computer.
