    Results sent directly to your email will typically be password protected for your security. Passwords will be the Date of Birth of the patient in the following order: (Year/Month/Day). For example, if you're Date of Birth is January 31, 1980 your password will be the following: [1980/01/31]

  • Are there other options besides a Nasal Swab for the PCR-COVID test?

  • What is the Difference Between a Rapid Test and a PCR test?
    The Rapid test (also known as the Antigen test) offers a fast turnaround time but is best used on patients showing symptoms. However, the rapid test results tend to be inaccurate when compared to the RT-PCR test. One can expect the results of a Rapid Test within 15 minutes. The RT-PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) test is considered the “Golden Standard” with regards to COVID tests. The PCR test is considered the more accurate version when testing for the COVID-19 virus.
  • Do I Need to Pick Up my Results in Person?
    While you may pick up results in person, the delivered lab results will be sent to your physician directly either through their portal or via fax. If an order was not provided, results will be sent to the email address provided when you schedule an appointment.
  • How do I Access my lab Results?
    If you came with a doctor’s order, Clinical Diagnostic Laboratories (CDL) will fax your lab results to your doctor’s office. We will also try to email results in a timely manner. However, if you do not receive your results after the given time frame, please follow up with CDL by emailing us at info@clinicaldiagnosticlab.com or call us at 703-430-1111. The email will be from labreport@clinicaldiagnosticlab.com*. Your date of birth in the format ‘YYYYMMDD’ is your password to be used to open this report. *Note: Always check your spam/junk mail if you have not received your results in your standard inbox! **The easiest method of finding your results is to type the email address “labreport@clinicaldiagnosticlab.com” in your email’s search bar as results are often difficult to find when sent to the spam/junk folder.
