CompuNet Direct Access Testing Launches and Important Information

New: Patients Can Now Order Lab Tests Online with CompuNet

We’re excited to share that CompuNet Clinical Laboratories has launched an online store that allows patients to directly order select lab tests—no physician order required. The new CompuNet Direct Access Testing platform empowers patients to take a more active role in their health by providing a simple, secure way to purchase common lab tests online. This enhancement supports early detection, wellness tracking, and overall health awareness.

How It Works:

• Patients visit compunetlab.com/DAT to browse and purchase available tests using a credit or debit card.
• Patients then visit any CompuNet Patient Service Center—either by scheduling an appointment or walking in.
• A sample is collected by our skilled phlebotomists and processed in our local laboratories.
• Results are delivered securely via the My Labs Now patient portal.

Patients are encouraged to share their results with their trusted health care provider for appropriate interpretation and follow-up care. View the full list of available tests and FAQs.

Duplicate Test Orders for Trichomonas Vaginalis

There are several order codes that include Trichomonas vaginalis molecular testing. The following is a list of order codes: CVTTMA, TRTMA, TRTMAB, GCTHRP, GCT, VAGPLS, VAGGC, AND VAGCOM.

These test codes are used to order various combinations of STIs and Vaginitis organisms, but all include Trichomonas vaginalis. When more than one of these codes is used on the same patient, it results in duplicate orders and testing. Please be aware of the components of the order codes that are used.

The most common duplicate combination is GCT + VAGCOM. GCT includes testing for Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and Trichomonas. VAGCOM includes testing for Bacterial Vaginosis, Candida Vaginitis, and Trichomonas. A better combination for this testing is GCCTMA (Gonorrhea, Chlamydia) + VAGCOM.
