This blood panel includes a collection of screenings commonly ordered at an annual physical to evaluate your general health. It measures the essentials including blood sugar, calcium, electrolytes, blood count and liver and kidney function. It may also be used to screen for health conditions, including diabetes.
Preparation: Fast for 12 hours (no food or drink, except water) before sample collection. If you’re taking a supplement containing biotin (also called vitamin B7 or B8, vitamin H, or coenzyme R), commonly found in products promoting nail, skin and hair health, it is recommended that you wait at least 72 hours from your last dose before sample collection.
While 6 in 10 adults have a chronic disease, and 4 in 10 have two or more, changes in lifestyle and behavior (like being more physically active or eating a healthy diet) can prevent or control many of these conditions.¹
Knowing your numbers and the overall quality of your health can help you make more informed decisions to live a healthier lifestyle.²
Regular health exams and tests can help detect health conditions before they start. Screening tests can help find problems early, when your chances for treatment or cure are better.²

Regular health screenings can be vital for early detection of health issues, establishing a baseline, and monitoring your health over time. Health care providers typically order a general health panel on an annual basis as part of the annual physical exam.3
Your testing will be performed in a CLIA-certified clinical laboratory. Labcorp provides leading-edge medical laboratory tests and services through a national network of primary clinical laboratories and specialty testing laboratories. Our labs perform regular quality assurance testing to ensure our results are accurate.
Your results will be provided to you through our secure online portal to view or print. Results are also provided to PWNHealth, which provides professional healthcare provider services for OnDemand tests. If you are accessing your results through your Labcorp Patient account, all users linked to the account will have access to all OnDemand test results. Results may also be provided to a local, state, or federal health authority, but only when legally required. For example, many states require the testing laboratory and healthcare provider to report test results for certain communicable diseases, such as sexually transmitted diseases or COVID-19, to local or state health departments.
