Odam Medical Group provides in-house diagnostic testing at our Crystal and St. Cloud, MN locations, allowing many common tests to be completed as part of your visit. When laboratory testing cannot be completed in-house, blood samples can be drawn at the clinic and sent to a nationally accredited reference laboratory. Other diagnostic tests may be coordinated through a referral.
In-House Diagnostic Tests We Perform
We offer the following tests in-house at our clinic sites:
- Blood sugar (glucose) testing
- Hemoglobin screening
- Pregnancy test
- Strep testing
- Urine infection test
- Mono test
- COVID-19 testing
- Flu testing
- X-rays (basic imaging)
X-Ray Availability: Basic X-rays are available at Odam Medical Group’s Crystal location only. Patients who may need X-ray imaging should confirm the appropriate location when scheduling or before coming to the clinic.
In-house testing can support acute care when a new health concern needs evaluation and chronic disease management when certain health measures need ongoing monitoring.
Advanced & Specialty Testing (By Referral)
Some diagnostic tests require equipment or specialty services that are not provided in the Odam Medical Group office. When one of these tests is appropriate, testing is completed by referral:
- Cardiology testing
- Vascular testing
- CT scans
- MRI
- Ultrasounds
- Nuclear medicine testing
Odam Medical Group coordinates these services with referral partners when additional diagnostic testing is needed.
When Lab Testing Is Sent Out
Not every laboratory test is performed in the clinic. When outside laboratory testing is needed, Odam Medical Group can draw the blood sample in the clinic and send it to a nationally accredited reference laboratory for testing.
This is different from advanced diagnostic services such as CT scans or MRI, which are completed through a referral rather than through the in-house lab.
