You take your lab order to a LabCorp blood draw location. You are going to have provide order info to LabCorp blood draw location for their system like your name and address.... Basic stuff. They will draw the blood and run the test. Test results will be sent back to Discounted labs and they (Discounted Labs) will send to you VIA e-mail. I think that was what I did first time....

You will be asked to verify your identity.

I don't recall every dropping ID at Quest or Labcorp.

From the Discountedlabs page - ID is required.

I understand I like my privacy as well but they will already have your information from your paperwork.

I used fake name, will see what happens, guess I "forgot my ID"
Not sure why they need it. cant claim "patriot act" on this one!

Doesn't hurt to try as long as you have the paperwork just make sure you remember your fake name and birthdate

. I don't know if ID's required as its not a drug test.

I have never had to show ID at Labcorp - they just take my paperwork and then verbally ask me to confirm my address again as verification. But perhaps it differs from location to location?

That's just what discounted tells you, they can't speak to Quest or Labcorps actual policies.

Im cut from the same cloth as you. Though what are you really hiding? IP address from your home, credit card you used, I don't think you're achieving the anonymity you're looking for.

I have a fake name, birthdate and address that I typically

use.If anyone ever wanted to committ identity theft a lab or Dr. office we be a great source.
Will let you know what happens.

Labcorp always asks for ID, so does Quest. But sometimes lab techs forget to ask (rarely)

waltkowalski · Jun 30, 2016

Hi Nelson,

Just curious why they need ID if the test is only for my own
purposes? (not for employment etc)

Nelson Vergel · Jun 30, 2016

If you were not required an ID you could pass for someone else and use the lab tests to justify a diagnosis that you or someone you are impersonating do not have.

All results are protected by HIPAA law and cannot be shared to anyone, if that is what you are worrying about.
