ABOUT MERIDIAN LABS

Testing connected to your care

Meridian Labs is part of Meridian Medical Group. Laboratory testing may be appropriate when your clinician recommends it after an evaluation, when you need routine monitoring for an existing condition, when you are completing preventive screening, or when a medication requires laboratory monitoring.

Available testing varies by location. Some testing may be processed by an outside laboratory, which may bill separately. Contact Meridian before your visit to confirm availability and preparation.

Before your lab visit

  • Confirm your order and location.
  • Bring a photo ID and insurance card.
  • Fast only if you were instructed to.
  • Do not stop or change medications unless instructed.
