On Mar. 19, 2020, LabCorp announced it is dedicating the first hour of service each day at its nearly 2,000 patient service centers (PSCs) across the U.S. for the non-COVID-19 testing needs of its most vulnerable patients. The option is aimed at making it easier for patients who are at higher risk to practice social distancing and get their critical lab testing services.

LabCorp’s first business hour of each day at PSCs will be focused on serving people who are 65 or older or who have serious underlying health conditions. LabCorp will not turn away any patient during the first business hour but encourages other patients to plan around this hour to protect vulnerable patients. Patients who believe they have been exposed to COVID-19 should not enter the patient service center. They should contact their physician or healthcare provider.
