About the Test
  • Iron Total

The Iron test evaluates iron levels in the blood, crucial for diagnosing and managing iron-related disorders. Low iron levels can result in anemia, causing symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and dizziness. Elevated iron levels may be associated with iron overload conditions like hemochromatosis, leading to symptoms such as joint pain, diabetes, and liver damage. The test helps in identifying these conditions, guiding treatment, and monitoring overall iron status.

February 2026



Dear valued client,


As we move toward completing the transition of Empire City Laboratories’ clinical laboratory services to Labcorp, we want your practice to experience a smooth and seamless changeover. We appreciate your partnership and want to highlight several important operational reminders as we approach the transition to Labcorp on February 9.
Key Transition Reminders
  1. Last Day to Submit Orders to Empire City Laboratories – February 8
    Empire City Laboratories will continue processing orders through the end of the day on February 8, 2026. Please ensure that all Empire orders arrive at Empire’s facility by this date.
  2. Beginning February 9: Submit Orders to Labcorp
    Starting February 9, 2026, all new laboratory orders should be submitted directly to Labcorp using any of the following methods:
    • EMR interface to Labcorp
    • Labcorp Link
    • A Labcorp paper requisition
  3. Specimen Collection & Pick up
    Effective February 9, please place all specimens in your Labcorp specimen collection box.
    Over the coming weeks, we plan to deliver Labcorp boxes and remove Empire City Laboratories boxes or to relabel them as Labcorp. After a Labcorp box is in place (new or relabeled), placing a specimen in a remaining Empire City Laboratories box may cause delays in specimen processing.
  4. Historical Results
    Beginning February 9, you may continue to utilize the Wellcom portal for a period of time by accessing it directly at new.wellcom.us
If you have any questions during or after the transition, please contact your Labcorp service representative or Labcorp Customer Service at 800 631 5250. When calling, please remember to have your Labcorp account number readily available to help expedite your support.

We  appreciate your attention to these operational updates and your partnership throughout this process. Our shared commitment remains the same: providing accurate, timely, and high quality laboratory services to you and your patients. Thank you for your continued trust.


Sincerely,

Empire City Laboratories & Labcorp
