To help track the health of patients in Eugene and Springfield, and to diagnose issues, Oregon Medical Group physicians rely on in-clinic medical labs and services that range from glucose testing, blood work, urine and stool samples and more. Having on-site labs and associated professionals helps us take care of you without requiring you to make an extra stop. Because our labs are dedicated to OMG patients, results are very fast, and your physician is able to easily discuss results with a lab specialist. All OMG clinics have on-site labs.

Common questions about lab work include:
Do I Need To Make A Lab Appointment?
We accept walk-ins at all Oregon Medical Group clinics for most lab services. However, some clinics prefer you to schedule an appointment in advance. The few tests that do require an appointment are 2 and 3 hour Glucose Tolerance tests.
Where Can I Get My Lab Specimens Collected Or Dropped Off?
If you have an Oregon Medical Group primary care provider or Oregon Medical Group provider lab order, you can have lab services done at any of the Oregon Medical Group Clinics with lab services. (See Oregon Medical Group locations.)
Do I Have To Fast For My Tests?
It depends on your tests. Your provider will give you specific instructions based on which studies he or she has requested.
What Does Fasting Mean?
Fasting means nothing to eat or drink except water for 8-12 hours. This includes lozenges, hard candy, gum and all other beverages.
How Long Will It Take To Get My Results?
This depends on which tests were performed. You will be given an estimate at the time of your tests, and your provider will be in touch with you as soon as they tests are available and your physician has reviewed them.
How Do I Get A Copy Of My Results?
Please contact your provider to get copies of your lab results. You may also request copies of your lab results by completing the patient requesting results from lab form. Bring the completed form to the lab with identification. Please note that Oregon law requires the lab to wait 7 days from the time we receive your request before sending a written copy.
What If My Insurance Requires The Labs To Be Sent To An “Out Of Network” Lab?
You can choose to have your labs collected and performed at Oregon Medical Group lab or one of our reference labs by signing a waiver. Please note we do not ship specimens to Lab One or Quest.
Why Do I Receive Invoices From Labs Besides OMG? And Why From Multiple Labs?
You may receive a bill from Oregon Medical Group, Legacy Laboratories and/or Peace Health Laboratories depending on test availability and your insurance contract. The testing can be referred to any one of these labs.
