Imaging Centers and Laboratories

  • Outpatient Imaging

    To request medical records from any of BayCare's imaging centers, please visit BayCare Outpatient Imaging.

  • Outpatient Laboratories
    Your lab results will be sent to your physician within two business days, with the exception of some special tests, which may take longer. For your convenience, our staff can tell you if your results may take more than two business days for your physician to receive. Also, if you have an out-of-town or out-of-state physician, please give us the physician’s contact information, and we will forward your test results. For a copy of your results, you may contact your physician’s office directly.

    Lab results can also be obtained in the BayCare Patient Portal at MyBayCare.org. Learn more about how to enroll in the Patient Portal.
