What Labcorp Bill Pay is and how to use it
Labcorp Bill Pay is the online payment system Labcorp uses to collect money for lab tests and services. You can pay your bill through their website or by phone without visiting a lab location. The system accepts credit cards, debit cards, and bank account transfers.
Most people receive a bill in the mail or by email after their test results are processed. That bill includes a statement number and the amount due. You'll need this information to pay online, though you can also call Labcorp's billing department and pay over the phone if you prefer not to use the website.
Key Takeaways
- You can pay a Labcorp bill online at labcorp.com, by phone at 1-800-LAB-CORP, or through the mail with a check.
- Have your bill statement number and the amount due ready before you start, whether you pay online or by phone.
- Online payments typically process within one to two business days, though the exact timing depends on your bank.
- If you don't have a bill yet but know you owe money for a test, you can contact Labcorp billing to request an invoice or set up a payment plan.
How to pay online through Labcorp's website
Go to labcorp.com and look for the "Pay My Bill" or "Billing" link, usually found in the footer or top navigation. Click it and you'll be taken to a page where you enter your statement number (found on your bill) and the amount due. You do not need to create an account to make a one-time payment.
Select your payment method: credit card, debit card, or bank account. If you use a card, enter the card number, expiration date, and CVV. If you use a bank account, provide your routing number and account number. Review the total amount and confirm the payment. You'll receive a confirmation number on screen and by email.
Paying by phone or mail
To pay by phone, call Labcorp's billing department at 1-800-LAB-CORP (1-800-522-2767). Have your bill statement number ready. A representative will take your payment information over the phone. They accept the same payment methods as the website: credit cards, debit cards, and bank account transfers. Payments made by phone are processed the same day if you call during business hours.
To pay by mail, write a check or money order payable to Labcorp and include your statement number on the check. Mail it to the address shown on your bill. Mailed payments take longer to process — typically five to ten business days from the time Labcorp receives it, depending on mail delivery time.
What happens after you pay
Online and phone payments usually show up in Labcorp's system within one to two business days. Your account will be marked as paid, and you won't receive collection notices or calls about that bill. If you paid by mail, allow extra time for the check to arrive and be processed.
If you need a receipt or proof of payment, the confirmation number you received is your proof. You can also contact Labcorp billing and ask them to email you a receipt showing the payment date and amount.
If you don't have a bill yet or can't find your statement number
Contact Labcorp's billing department at 1-800-LAB-CORP. They can look up your account using your name, date of birth, and the date of your test. Once they locate your account, they can email or mail you a bill, or you can pay over the phone right then without waiting for paper to arrive.
If you're unsure whether you owe money, Labcorp billing can tell you the balance on your account. This is useful if you had a test ordered by your doctor but haven't received a bill yet — sometimes there's a delay between when the test is processed and when the bill is generated.
Setting up a payment plan if you can't pay the full amount now
Labcorp does not automatically offer payment plans through their website. However, if you call billing at 1-800-LAB-CORP and explain that you cannot pay the full amount at once, a representative can discuss options with you. Some situations may may have access to for a payment arrangement, though this is handled case-by-case and is not may provide.
If Labcorp declines a payment plan, you can still make a partial payment online or by phone to show good faith. This may slow or stop collection activity while you save for the remaining balance. Always ask the billing representative what their policy is before you hang up.
Common issues and what to do
Payment declined: If your card or bank account is declined, the website will tell you why (expired card, insufficient funds, etc.). Fix the issue and try again, or call billing to pay by phone with a different payment method.
Can't find your statement number: Call 1-800-LAB-CORP with your name and date of birth. They'll look it up for you.
Paid but still receiving bills: Wait two business days for the payment to process. If you still see a balance after that, call billing to confirm the payment was received. Sometimes there's a delay in the system updating.
Dispute about the amount: If you believe the bill is wrong, call billing before you pay. They can review the charges with you and explain what each one is for. Do not ignore the bill — contact them to discuss it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay a Labcorp bill with a prepaid card?
Yes, as long as the prepaid card is Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover. The card must have enough balance to cover the full amount. Some prepaid cards have restrictions on online purchases, so if your payment is declined, contact your card issuer to ask if they allow online medical payments.
Is there a fee to pay my Labcorp bill online?
Labcorp does not charge a fee to pay through their website or by phone. However, if you use a credit card, your credit card company may charge a cash advance fee or treat it as a purchase — check your card's terms. Bank account transfers have no fee.
How long does it take for a payment to show up on my account?
Online and phone payments typically appear in Labcorp's system within one to two business days. Mailed checks take five to ten business days from arrival. The exact timing depends on your bank and the postal service, not just Labcorp.
What if I paid but Labcorp says they never received it?
If you paid online or by phone, you have a confirmation number — that is your proof. Contact Labcorp billing with that number and they can trace the payment. If you mailed a check, contact your bank to see if it has cleared. If it has, Labcorp should have received it; ask them to search their records by check number and amount.
Can I set up automatic payments for recurring Labcorp bills?
Labcorp's website does not offer automatic recurring payments. You must pay each bill separately. However, if you have ongoing lab work, you can call billing and ask if they offer any options for regular customers — policies vary by location.
