Mental Health Screenings

TAKE A MENTAL HEALTH TEST Online screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine if you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition. *Mental health conditions are real, common, and treatable and recovery is possible!*

Tests Requiring Prior Authorization

Before visiting the lab, please check that your insurance does not require a pre-authorization for the test(s) you would like to have completed. The pre-authorization must be completed by the ordering provider, or the lab will not be able to complete the lab draw.

For more information regarding the services provided by the SRMC Laboratory, contact Laboratory Services at 308.254.5825 x1540.

Direct Access Testing (D.A.T.) – Wellness Wednesday

Wednesdays only from 7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Direct access testing allows you to order certain laboratory tests without consulting a medical provider. Direct access testing is a reflection of America’s focus on health and preventative medicine that allows you the opportunity to take a more active role in your healthcare. Since it is consumer-initiated testing, D.A.T. eliminates many steps of processing that a typical lab goes through to be submitted to insurance and provides us with the opportunity to offer it at a reduced rate.

Available screenings:

General Health Panel* – $50
Hemoglobin A1C – $15
Glucose* – $10
Lipid Panel* – $20
Testosterone Total – $60
PSA – $20
Vitamin D – $40
Microalbumin – $20
Blood Type – $30

*8-10 hour fast recommended for most accurate results
