Preparing for Your Lab Visit
Learn what to expect during your visit to the Lexington lab, including fasting guidelines, how lab tests are ordered, and how results are delivered to your provider.
What To Expect
The Lexington Phlebotomy Lab collects blood and other specimens for diagnostic testing. Most specimens are processed at BIDMC’s Clinical Laboratory on the East Campus in Boston. Some may be sent to external reference labs, which can extend result times.
Fasting Requirements
If your test requires fasting, please do not eat or drink anything for 8–10 hours prior to your visit. Drinking water is allowed and encouraged.
Always check with your physician before withholding any medications.
Ordering Lab Tests
Physicians must be in our medical registry to receive lab results. If you're unsure whether your doctor is registered, call us before your visit at 781-528-2480.
We accept lab orders through:
- BIDMC's electronic ordering system
- Paper requisitions or prescriptions
Paper orders must include:
- Patient's full name and date of birth
- Ordering provider's name and phone number
- ICD-10 (diagnosis) code
- A list of all requested tests
Lab Results
Lab staff cannot release results directly to patients. Results are shared with your provider through our secure medical record system or by mail, depending on their access.
