Island Primary Care – Orcas is happy to facilitate lab orders for an outside provider, but please note that we are not a walk-in lab and appointments are required. There are several things to keep in mind when requesting lab work from providers outside of Island Health.
Please plan ahead for courtesy labs from your specialists by allowing one to two weeks for scheduling and processing.
A current order must be brought in or faxed to our office at 360.466.6139 for phlebotomist review before an appointment can be scheduled and at least one week before the results are needed. There are some uncommon orders we may not be able to fulfill due to supply availability or special processing.
For courtesy labs, we function as a “draw facility” only; however, the results will appear in your Island Health patient portal.
The provider ordering your labs is responsible for communicating your results to you. Please contact your physician’s office directly if you have a question on your lab results.
Thank you for your understanding when requesting lab work from outside providers.
