Where can you get your lab results for blood work?

Patients can request copies of their lab results for blood work from the physicians who are treating them or from the laboratory that processed the samples, according to Cancer.org and Quest Diagnostics. Many different types of blood work can be ordered by doctors, and it can take anywhere from 24 hours to several weeks to receive the results.

Most laboratories, such as Quest Diagnostics, allow patients to request copies of blood work results online, via phone or in person. In some cases, the patient must fill out a request form and submit it electronically or via postal mail. However, most patients receive blood work test results directly from their physicians so they can discuss the implications of the test's findings.
