Easy, no appointment necessary, for lab work, part of the Providence network…read more After a doctor appointment on the first floor, the doctor requested lab work. I assumed I needed to head up the street to St. Vincent's Medical Center or the East Pavilion, but the doctor said, just go up to the 2nd floor and give them this paperwork. I said, 2nd floor of the Medical Center? No, just take the elevator up one floor. Note, building is in the process of getting painted so there were no signs (4/8/24.) After walking up and down a long hallway with no success, I stopped in a pediatric office and the receptionist told me the lab was in the hallway directly in front of the elevator. Walk across from the elevator, hallway goe off to right, about half way down on the right is LabCorp. The hallways are very sterile with small signage. Once inside, you do a self check in at the kiosk. The machine couldn't read my insurance card, no idea why, so I had to manually type in all the info. This happened to several other people so it definitely warrants being fixed. After that, I took a seat and waited my turn. Some people had set up an appointment so they were in front of me. There is a screen with people's initials so you can see where you are in the queue. My wait was about ten minutes. A little soft background music in the waiting area would enhance the environment. The technician was friendly, efficient, and most important, skilled. Hit the vein first time even though I was a bit dehydrated, and a minute later, done. I have an order for a repeat test for early June, and now that I know this lab exists, I'll stop here. There is a parking lot right out front, easy exit off 26, very convenient.

Generally the staff is competent, friendly and my waits for my appointment are not long. However,…read morethe problem is communication with my OHSU clinic. 100% of the time I am told by the staff that I have no order from my doctor. This is because my clinic and their medical organization fax orders to labcorp instead of using an electronic system. This means that labcorp staff need to know the day the order was received and then search through all the faxes received that day. I don't really know when the order was received by them. Last time I had to get my clinic to fax the order again, and had to wait around for that. This time I'm going to bring a paper copy of the order. The communication is broken on the other end as well. My clinic never sees the results since they come via fax to a phone number they don't check, or at least not regularly. So, I download the results from labcorp's site and attach them to a mychart message. I fault primarily labcorp, but also my clinic and their organization, my insurance company (who requires me to use a lab that doesn't communicate well with my medical provider) and myself for not making more noise about this. (I'm trying to remedy that with this review.)

Very friendly staff. You're in and then out...quickly. Parking is available and near the lab…read morebuilding. I find that the online appointment procedure is somewhat daunting. Could they simplify it somewhat?

I had a bunch of lab tests. Had to bring in various biological samples. When I got the collection…read morecontainers I had to present my ID, insurance cards, etc. I watched them enter the info into the computer, just as I had watched the receptionist in my doctor's office enter it moments before. I was told I had to have an appointment to be allowed to drop off the samples. Seemed odd, but ok. I couldn't be sure when I could collect the samples, some of which were time sensitive, so I collected the samples before trying to make an appt. When I tried to make an appointment there were none available for the time-sensitive materials I had just collected. Now What? I tried to call to ask what I was sposed to do. First I was dropped into the general Legacy Health System where I was on hold for about ten minutes listening to a long message "if this then that, if that then this, if the other thing, then the other, Covid information, Covid immunization information, if this than that again, etc. etc.," finally got to select the number for my need, where I again waited about 10 minutes, again sitting through "if this then that, if that, then this, if the other thing, then the other, Covid this, Covid that, etc. etc., When a human finally answered I was transferred to the lab where once again I sat through "if this then that, if that, then this, if the other thing, then the other, etc. etc.," for another10-12 minutes. No one from the lab ever answered. Since I had already collected the specimens I decided just to drive to the lab before the clock ran out. I hoped someone with common sense would accept them. At the lab no one seemed to care that I didn't have the mandatory appointment. They asked for all of the same information they had entered into the computer less than 24 hrs before. I explained the confusion I'd experienced when I couldn't make the mandatory appointment in time to meet the lab deadline. The receptionist said, like I'm a little slow "well, if you have a specimen to drop off you don't really need an appointment!" I suggested it would be helpful if there was a note adjacent to the online appointment link stating that lab specimens could be dropped off even if no appointments were available. The receptionist shrugged, said he has nothing to do with that. This is the first time I've dealt with the Legacy system. I liked the new specialist I saw, I was thinking about becoming a Legacy patient. Nah. Can't get through on the phone, told an appt was required, but couldn't make one, and staff who are unconcerned with the patient's experience in the Legacy system. I sure hope Legacy lab staff's systems and personnel are more responsive than I experienced in my efforts to get there.

STAY AWAY FROM AFC URGENT CARE. THIS FACILITY NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ITS FRAUDULENT…read moreBILLING PRACTICES AND FALSIFICATION OF MEDICAL RECORDS. My experience with AFC Urgent Care was absolutely appalling. When I went there seeking medical attention for wheezing, they refused to provide me with any medical treatment. Dr. Paul Park was extraordinarily rude, obnoxious, dismissive, and completely lacking in bedside manner. He also made inaccurate statements regarding a medical diagnosis. But the conduct that followed was even more disturbing. Despite refusing to provide me with medical treatment, AFC subsequently issued a discharge summary falsely documenting that a urine test had been performed during my visit. THIS TEST WAS NEVER PERFORMED. They literally documented a medical procedure in my records that never happened. And seriously, who performs a urine test for a patient presenting with wheezing? As if falsifying medical documentation were not bad enough, a few weeks later, AFC submitted an insurance claim seeking reimbursement for an asthma/wheezing diagnosis and this nonexistent urine test. They were attempting to collect money from my insurance company for medical services and testing that were never provided or performed. This is not an innocent billing discrepancy. This is a deeply troubling case of fabricated medical documentation followed by an attempt to obtain insurance reimbursement for services that never occurred. Initially, I gave AFC the benefit of the doubt and assumed this might have been an administrative error. I contacted them in good faith, emailed them, and called MULTIPLE TIMES seeking an explanation. Their response? Complete silence. They have repeatedly refused to return my calls or respond to my written communications. Their refusal to address this matter is absolutely outrageous. If this was merely an administrative error, why won't anyone take responsibility, explain what happened, or correct the fraudulent documentation? Why should a patient have to repeatedly chase a medical facility to challenge fabricated medical records and insurance claims for services that never happened? The combination of refusing to provide medical care, the appalling conduct of Dr. Paul Park, falsifying medical documentation, and subsequently attempting to bill an insurance company for a test that was never performed raises extremely serious concerns about AFC's business practices and integrity. I have absolutely no confidence in this facility. A medical provider that fraudulently documents procedures it never performed, attempts to collect insurance payments for those procedures, and then refuses to respond when confronted deserves serious scrutiny. Patients trust healthcare providers to maintain accurate medical records, provide appropriate care, and bill honestly. AFC has demonstrated a shocking disregard for all three. DO NOT GO TO AFC URGENT CARE. Take your business and your healthcare needs elsewhere.
