7. Online Physician Order Services
Labcorp does not provide physician services or lab authorization network services. Lab authorization network services are provided by PWN Health, LLC and its affiliated physicians (“PWN”), an independent entity not affiliated with Labcorp. Labcorp has provided access to PWN services as a convenience. By requesting lab authorization network services by selecting the option to get a physician order online, you agree that your relationship to PWN is independent and is governed by PWN’s Terms of Use. Labcorp makes no representations or warranties regarding PWN services and disclaims any liability for such services.
8. Payment
For all testing ordered, except for certain COVID-19 Testing described further below and when indicated by the test description page, a valid credit card number, expiration date, and card security code is required for all purchases. If we are unable to charge the full cost of your purchase to the credit card you provide, we may cancel your order or request an alternate form of payment. Labcorp’s designated payment processor will collect your payment information and related personal information for its use in processing your payment for the products or services ordered by you. Except as modified for certain COVID-19 Testing described further below, you are solely responsible for all charges and applicable fees (including delivery charges, taxes and any fees assessed by your bank) associated with your order. Except as modified for certain COVID-19 Testing described further below, Labcorp cannot submit a claim to any insurance plan for you or bill your insurance directly for any test you purchase.
For certain COVID-19 Testing ordered from Pixel by Labcorp or Labcorp OnDemand™, as noted on the test description page, upfront payment is not required for insured individuals to obtain a COVID-19 Test (At-Home collection kit). As of March 2022, federal funding for uninsured reimbursement has changed. For details about this change, visit HRSA.gov. If you are insured and eligible for COVID-19 Testing, you can choose a payment option at checkout. We can file your insurance or, if you are uninsured, you can elect to pay for the cost of COVID-19 Testing out-of-pocket ($119).
All testing for the services includes the cost of physician services from PWNHealth. Labcorp reserves the right to change, suspend, or discontinue all or any aspects of the Site at any time without prior notice.

Content, prices, and availability of products and services are subject to change without notice. Errors will be corrected where discovered, and Labcorp reserves the right to revoke any stated offer and to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions including after an order has been submitted and whether the order has been confirmed and your payment has been processed. If your payment has already been processed for the purchase and your order is canceled, Labcorp’s designated payment processor will issue a credit to your account in the amount of the charge. Individual bank policies will dictate when this amount is credited to your account.
11. Reporting of Test Results to Local, State and/or Federal Authorities
You acknowledge and accept that the ordering physician and Labcorp may be compelled by law or regulation to report your laboratory result to the local, state, or federal health authority. For example, many states require the testing laboratory and physician to report test results for certain communicable diseases, such sexually transmitted diseases or COVID-19, to local or state health departments.
12. Retesting
You acknowledge and accept that test results outside of normal limits do occur and a physician may reorder lab tests for confirmation.
13. Testing and Reporting is Subject to Available Capacity and Supply and Requires Suitable Specimen
Labcorp’s obligation to ship home collection kits and/or perform testing is subject to available capacity and supply. You acknowledge and accept that receipt of any home collection kits and/or testing may be delayed. Labcorp makes no guarantee regarding reporting times. Reporting may be delayed (or, in some cases, cancelled), including due to confirmatory tests, supply delays, inadequate specimens, and requirements under applicable law.
Labcorp will not be required to test specimens that it determines in its sole discretion are not suitable for analysis. Specimens received by Labcorp that have not been properly labeled, packaged, and registered may not be immediately processed, if at all, and may result in delay. You are responsible for the proper storage and usage of any home collection kits.

15. Dispute Resolution
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU AND LABCORP TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU AND LABCORP CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER.
-
- Arbitration Agreement. You and Labcorp mutually agree, to the fullest extent of the law, that any Dispute (defined below) shall be arbitrated and finally decided by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (available at www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879), except as modified below or otherwise agreed to. As used in this Arbitration Agreement, “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between us, including any past, currently pending, existing, or future dispute or disagreement, except: (a) claims by employees of Labcorp entities related to the terms or conditions of their employment; (b) claims for personal physical injury or wrongful death or survival claims arising from or in any way related to clinical laboratory services; and (c) claims for unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents. You and Labcorp agree that you are each giving up, to the fullest extent of the law, any right to have disputes resolved in court before a judge or jury.
- Class Action Waiver. You and Labcorp also mutually agree that, to the fullest extent allowed by law, and except as expressly set out below, each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, on an individual basis, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, non-individual, mass, or representative proceeding. Further, the arbitrator may not join or consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of representative, collective, non-individual, mass, or class proceeding, except as stated below. Nothing in these terms should be read to allow class arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, inapplicable, invalid, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. All disputes with respect to whether any other aspect of this Dispute Resolution provision and its terms is unenforceable, unconscionable, applicable, valid, void or voidable shall be determined exclusively by an arbitrator, and not by any court, except as expressly set out below.
- Arbitration Procedures. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator to decide a dispute (instead of a judge or jury); arbitration allows for more limited discovery than a court case; and the arbitration process and results are subject to limited review by courts. In arbitration, you have the right, at your own expense, to be represented by an attorney of your choosing. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court could award, but any award or recovery must be consistent with this Agreement. You and Labcorp also agree that any in-person arbitral hearing will occur in the United States in the same county and state as your billing address. Any arbitration under this section will be confidential, and documents exchanged may not be used or shared outside of the arbitration process without the prior written consent of the parties or as required by law. To the fullest extent of the law, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim, and the arbitrator cannot award relief for, or on behalf of, anyone who is not a party to the proceeding.
Each party retains the right to elect before or within 30 days after arbitration is initiated by either party to have any claims heard in small claims court on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis for a dispute within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction.
-
- Pre-Arbitration Notice and Good Faith Negotiations. Both you and Labcorp agree that, before initiating any arbitration proceedings of any kind with the AAA, each party will notify the other in writing of any dispute so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally. The notice must be specific and individual to you and include: (i) your name, street address, telephone number, and the email address you use or used for the online services; (ii) a brief description of the dispute; (iii) the amount of money (if any) at issue; and (iv) the specific relief sought. The notice must be signed and include the handwritten signature of, as applicable, either you or a Labcorp employee, depending on which party is providing notice. Notice sent by you to Labcorp will be sent to the following email and street addresses: [email protected] and 531 South Spring Street, Law Department, Burlington, NC 27215. Notice sent by Labcorp to you will be sent to the email and street addresses that you provided to Labcorp. This notice is a requirement and condition precedent to initiating any arbitration proceedings.
If you and Labcorp cannot agree how to resolve the dispute within 45 days after the notice is received by the other party, then either you or Labcorp may, as appropriate and in accordance with this Dispute Resolution section, commence an arbitration proceeding with a written demand for arbitration that is individual to you and your dispute, including the content set forth above and a handwritten signature. Any limitations period will be tolled from the date the dispute is noticed to the other side until the expiration of this 45-day period.
Compliance with this Pre-Arbitration Notice and Good Faith Negotiations provision (paragraph D) is an issue for a court to resolve, not the arbitrator.
-
- Arbitration Fees. The party initiating the arbitration will pay any filing, case initiation, or arbitrator fees, up to the amount that would be required to pursue the same claim in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina (currently, $402.00). For individual damages claims with less than $25,000 at issue, Labcorp will pay the additional, reasonable fees and costs of arbitration, not including attorneys’ fees. For claims with more than $25,000 at issue, or where a party seeks injunctive or declaratory relief, the parties will share the fees and costs of arbitration equally. The parties’ good faith negotiation of reasonable fees with the arbitration provider is authorized as needed. If the arbitrator determines that your or Labcorp’s claim(s) are frivolous, the party bringing the frivolous claim(s) will reimburse the other party for any amounts that other party paid for the arbitration.
- Federal Arbitration Act. These Terms of Use affect interstate commerce, and the interpretation and enforceability of this Dispute Resolution provision will be substantively, procedurally, and exclusively governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, except as modified by these terms of use.
- Forum Selection. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and Labcorp agree to proceed in state and federal courts covering Alamance County, North Carolina and you agree to be subject to personal jurisdiction there, waiving any jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient forum defenses or objections to those courts.
