How long does it take for test results to upload onto MyChart?

Test results are handled in MyChart in several different ways:

  • Most non-sensitive lab and radiology results are auto-released to MyChart on the schedule below. In certain cases, patients may see these test results before our providers have had the chance to review the information themselves.
  • Radiology studies and pathology results are on a time-delayed automatic release schedule, which gives providers a chance to review them before the patient sees them.
  • Tumor markers, sweat tests, sleep studies and genetic results are not auto-released to MyChart. They must be reviewed and may be manually released by a physician.
  • Technically, we are not yet able to provide electronic release of externally scanned results (such as those from a provider outside of our system), endoscopy and heart cath results.
  • Lastly, lab results pertaining to STDs, pregnancy and drugs of abuse are blocked from electronic release according to the law.
    Test Results and their release schedule:
  • Lab results: Released at 10 a.m., 1 p.m., 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.
  • Radiology studies: 3-day time delay
  • Pathology: 4-day time delay
