Specimen requirements and information are listed below. NOTE: Physician's Laboratory does NOT COLLECT respiratory samples. SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) TESTING Effective June 5, 2020, Physicians Laboratory will start performing additional COVID testing in-house in an effort to increase our volume capacity and offer faster turn-around-time to our clients. The test numbers, CPT codes, and specimen information is listed below. Our testing will be transitioned to the Hologic platform; however, the Luminex assay will be maintained as a back-up. Due to the volume of COVID samples, Physicians Laboratory will no longer be able to call positive results. This change will be implemented on June 5, 2020.
