The Toledo Clinic Lab will always accept patients who are self pay (no insurance) or elect not to have their insurance billed. The Lab’s test pricing is very reasonable (very often the most competitive in the area).
Patients are strongly encouraged to contact their insurance company for eligible laboratory providers to verify that the services of the Toledo Clinic Lab will be covered prior to having testing performed.
Laboratory Hours and Appointments
Generally, lab testing can be performed on a walk-in basis and no prior appointment is required. However, if questions arise as to any type of patient preparation ( i.e. Should I come in Fasting?), the patient is encouraged to contact the lab office at (419) 479-5445.
Glucose tolerance testing (2 hr, 3 hr, etc.) are performed by appointment only. Contact the lab at (419) 479-5445. Post vas collections can be dropped off any time, but must be delivered to the lab within 8 hours of collection.
The laboratory’s Draw Station Patient Service Centers are routinely open Monday through Friday from 8:00 A.M. until 5:15 P.M.
The Draw Station Patient Service Centers are closed on major holidays and the day after Thanksgiving.
Written Doctor Orders
It is necessary that each patient have a written and signed order(s) from a physician(s) for all testing to be performed. The order can be in the form of a script or lab order form and may be brought by the patient or faxed directly to the lab at (419) 473-2510. A notation of the patient’s diagnosis(s) is required and will eliminate an additional phone inquiry to the physician’s office.
Orders can be set-up as standing orders so that patients can have the same testing done over a period of time. A standing order should not be for more than 1 year. Simply indicate that the order is a standing order on the initial order. Be sure to include any special instructions for frequency of testing and starting date.
