FAQ
Cortisol Test — what people ask
Specific questions about the cortisol test. For anything not covered, call 571-500-7030.
What time of day should cortisol be tested?
Cortisol follows a daily rhythm and is naturally highest in the morning, so a serum cortisol is best collected between 7 and 9 a.m. for a meaningful baseline. Plan a morning visit. This test screens your morning cortisol level; an unusually high or low result is a prompt to follow up with a provider, who interprets it alongside your symptoms — it is not a diagnosis on its own.
Will my primary-care doctor accept these results?
Yes. All blood work is processed at the same accredited reference labs hospitals and clinics use. Reports include the same reference ranges and methodology your physician is used to seeing.
Can I get a paper or fax copy of my results?
Yes. Results live in your secure online portal indefinitely, and we can print a paper copy at the lab or fax them directly to your physician at no additional charge.
How do I know if I should fast?
Tests measuring glucose, cholesterol, and most metabolic panels are best done fasting. Hormone, vitamin, and most thyroid panels do not require fasting. When in doubt, fast — water-only — and call us if you have questions before your visit.
