Quest Diagnostics (For non-InterMed patients) and InterMed Laboratory draw sites do not accept walk-ins, please schedule an appointment at 207-774-5816.

Estimated turn-around-time for all in house laboratory tests is about 1-4 days. General turn-around-time for testing that needs to be sent out to a reference laboratory such as Quest, LabCorp, Integrated Genetics, NorDx, or Mayo, could be 7-14 days.

InterMed patients will receive an automated email notification when test results are posted to your patient portal. Results are posted automatically once received from the lab; it may take several more days for your provider to post comments. Quest patients will have their results reported to the ordering provider directly from Quest. Your ordering provider can call Quest client support to request lab results at 1-800-842-1412 option (6) if they did not receive results or if there are other questions.

You may receive a bill for laboratory tests performed outside of InterMed from the reference lab that performed the testing. Billing concerns from the reference labs must be addressed with the reference lab.
