HNL Lab Medicine, a regional leader in high quality, innovative laboratory medicine services, announces the opening of a Patient Center in Palmerton.

The address for this newest location in HNL Lab Medicine’s network is 524 Delaware Ave., Palmerton, located near an LVHN ExpressCARE.

The facility is open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

“We are excited to expand our services in Carbon County, as we provide patients there with another option for clinical laboratory services,” says Brian Fanning, Director of Marketing at HNL Lab Medicine. “This new patient center strengthens our presence in the Carbon County region, where we also operate two patient centers in Lehighton.”

At HNL Lab Medicine’s Palmerton location - and at all patient centers operated by the lab - no appointments are needed and wait times are typically less than 15 minutes. Patients may check current wait times and check in online through the recently redesigned website. HNL Lab medicine prides itself on making every patient experience quick and comfortable and holds its phlebotomists and staff to the highest standards of professionalism and kindness.

When patients sign up for MyHNLAccess, a free patient portal, they can easily view their results on their computer, smartphone or other mobile devices and even receive a text message when results are available.

HNL Lab Medicine also offers self-pay options which may be an economical choice for patients without insurance or for those who participate in high deductible health plans.

HNL accepts all insurance plans and will directly bill a patient’s primary insurance company. HNL Lab Medicine has a patient-friendly billing policy and offers payment plans and online billing support services.

Operating for over 20 years, HNL Lab Medicine is a leader in laboratory medicine that works with more than 10 hospital systems and has over 50 regional patient service centers. Each year, HNL generates more than 60 million clinical and anatomic pathology results for approximately 3 million patients and 12,000 health care providers.
