Laboratory
The Culpeper Regional Hospital (CRH) Laboratory is a certified and accredited full-service clinical and surgical pathology laboratory. The laboratory provides chemistry, immunochemistry, hematology, coagulation, serology, and microbiology testing on-site. Through affiliations with University of Virginia Health System Laboratory, Mayo Medical Laboratory, and the Mid-Atlantic American Red Cross, we are able to provide a complete spectrum of laboratory testing.
CRH's Laboratory is licensed and accredited with the following organizations: College of American Pathologists, The Joint Commission, and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Our pathologists are board-certified in both clinical and anatomic pathology.
Every test within the laboratory is performed and supervised by medical technologists and medical laboratory technicians who are educated and certified in all specialties of laboratory medicine.
Our phlebotomists are trained and educated to perform capillary and venipunctures on all age groups. The entire phlebotomy staff is certified in federally mandated Department of Transportation (DOT) and non-DOT drug screening collections.

Laboratory Insurance and Billing
CRH participates with most major insurance carriers. Insurance companies often contract with national reference (commercial) laboratories to provide services through your local hospital. Some insurance contracts prohibit the use of the local hospital and require use of their national contract laboratory; therefore, it is always important to check with your insurance carrier prior to service. If you have a question regarding coverage, please contact your insurance carrier or our Registration Department at (540) 829-4127.
For questions regarding your CRH bill, please call (866) 608-4749. For Virginia Laboratory Services, please call (877) 312-8923 or (540) 428-2095.
