For patients requesting results

If you were tested at a health clinic, Stop the Spread site, or other location, please call or email your test provider. In most cases, if you have not yet received your result within about 24 hours, it may be because your birth date or contact information was entered incorrectly at the site where your test was performed. You’ll need to reach out to the testing agency to fix this. Your health care provider or test site should have provided you with a brochure, phone number, or website where you can learn more information. Please call or email them and ask about your result. If there’s an issue, the provider can follow up with Ó³»­´«Ã½ directly to resolve it.

Patient privacy and research

The Clinical Research Sequencing Platform, LLC (CRSP) is a subsidiary of the Ó³»­´«Ã½. CLIA-certified and CAP (College of American Pathologists) accredited, the lab is authorized to process samples collected in hospitals and other clinical settings and then securely deliver the results.

Since March 2020, Ó³»­´«Ã½ has worked in partnership with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and Massachusetts State Public Health Laboratory, and CRSP is now a state reference lab. As such, CRSP will report positive results to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and/or other relevant public health agencies.

Individual samples sent to Ó³»­´«Ã½ for test processing are not used for research purposes. In collaboration with relevant public health agencies, de-identified data may be shared with public health officials for analysis, such as to determine infection rates. Samples may also be included in the CRSP standard quality-control procedures to ensure high-quality testing and accurate clinical care.
