My husband & I tested positive for COVID this AM. We both were able to very conveniently make online appointments for medical evaluations within 30 minutes of our requests. The UC Village-Albany Urgent Care clinic is modern and attractive with highly efficient, very welcoming, friendly, professional & personable administrative and medical staffs. All of the medical personnel have very kind and empathetic bedside manners and listened very well to (and heard!) and were responsive to our medical concerns and questions. We both were in and out of our appointments within 30 minutes. We are very appreciative and truly grateful to have your clinic so conveniently located near our home. Please keep up the great work!

I made my appointment online and was able to get an appointment for two hours later. Once there, I had to wait 45 minutes to be seen, but luckily my schedule allowed for the wait. Perhaps the Staff needed more time with other patients. I received the care I needed, and I recommend this Clinic.

I was able to schedule a 9:00 appointment during the early morning hours.  We had to wait for two other people to check in.  Given the increased volume of patients and people without appointments, we were taken back very quickly.   The doctor was very kind and thorough in her examination.  Her diagnosis was accurate.  I would recommend this provider with respect to the doctor we saw.  We had been to the urgent care the night before, right before they closed and that doctor was not thorough.  He didn’t look at my son’s nose or throat or check his breathing.

Everything was great, especially my nurse practitioner. I have been there several times for everything from a broken bone to covid symptoms this time and it has always been excellent. Can't figured out the star system, but check the highest rating for me. Thanks for your help.

Overall I was very happy and satisfied with my visit. Scheduling, check in and check out was seamless. I just waited for a bit because I probably came in at a time when they were so busy. Everyone was friendly and the place was clean and accessible. I would definitely recommend them to my family and friends. Thanks and keep it up. 😇

Melanie went out of her way to accommodate my husband and me when we came in to get Covid tests. Due to our unforeseen scheduling error, we didn't have an appointment at that time, but she said we could wait in case she could fit us in between patients, even though they were fully booked. She was able to complete our tests quickly and courteously. We were extremely pleased with the care we received. Thanks, Melanie!

Great first experience. The only issue I have is that no one there answers the phone. We got a prescription sent to a pharmacy (our standard one) and the pharmacy didn’t have it in stock. Because carbon health does not answer the phone, where I could have had them submit the scrip to a new pharmacy, I needed to be the middle person on a wild goose chase between the pharmacy that didn’t have the medication and one that did. This is a very stressful position to be in as a parent with a very sick kid who desperately needs medicine. Other than that one component, I was happy with the experience. I reflected my disappointment under “staff friendliness”, as I wasn’t sure where else to put it. Staff wasn’t unfriendly, they just didn’t answer the phone.

Everything was great but I made an appointment at 620pm, was on-time, and wasn’t seen by the doctor till 740pm! I took a nap on the table and the doctor saw me for five minutes before it was done.  Whats the point of having easy scheduling, check-in, and making an appointment??

Richmond CMP Tests

A CMP test measures the levels of 14 compounds in your blood to help you and your doctor learn more about your body's metabolism and chemical balance. A CMP test includes albumin, ALP, ALT, AST, total bilirubin, and total protein, as well as the eight tests that make up a basic metabolic panel (BUN, glucose, calcium, CO2, creatine, chloride, potassium, and sodium). CMP testing may be part of a routine physical examination or may be requested by your doctor to diagnose diabetes, liver disease, or renal disease.

The tests performed as part of a CMP can assess the following body functions and processes:

  • Metabolism
  • Blood sugar levels
  • Kidney function
  • Lung function
  • Blood acid and base balance
  • Protein levels
  • Electrolyte levels
  • Fluid levels
  • Organ function

A CMP test requires very little preparation. Fasting for eight to twelve hours prior to the surgery is required. Your doctor will also want you to provide a list of all over-the-counter, prescription, and nutritional supplements you're taking, as some of them may affect the findings of your tests. Dehydration, pregnancy, and eating or exercising right before the test all have the potential to skew the results.

The CMP test usually takes less than five minutes after a medical specialist collects a sample of your blood, which is then deposited in one or more vials. The vials are shipped to the lab for evaluation and analysis, with the results being emailed to the customer.

The risks of a CMP test are extremely low. Minor bruising and discomfort may develop at the injection site, although this usually subsides within a day or two. Some people may feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint after a CMP test, which is normal.

The results of a CMP test are usually available within 24 hours, though depending on when your doctor calls you, you may have to wait longer. If any irregularities are discovered, your doctor may order more testing to rule out certain conditions or diagnose you with a health problem based on the aberrant results. Your doctor may also invite you to an appointment to discuss your treatment options.

CMP Test FAQs

  • What is a CMP blood test?

    A CMP blood test looks for 14 different compounds in your blood to help you and your doctor figure out if you have one or more major health issues. This test can assess your liver and kidney function as well as give information about your protein, calcium, and blood sugar levels. CMP tests are typically performed as part of a standard medical examination, but they can also be used to diagnose liver and kidney disease.

  • What is included in a comprehensive metabolic panel?

    A CMP entails looking at 14 different compounds. The aspects of the test that are reviewed are as follows:

    • Albumin (a liver protein)
    • Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)
    • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)
    • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)
    • Blood glucose
    • Blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
    • Calcium
    • Carbon dioxide (CO2)
    • Chloride
    • Creatinine
    • Potassium
    • Sodium
    • Total bilirubin (a waste product made by the liver)
    • Total protein
  • How much do CMP tests cost in Richmond?

    The cost of a CMP test is determined by a variety of factors, including provider costs, geographic location, and whether your health insurance covers it. The easiest way to find out how much a CMP test costs is to call the CMP provider directly or check with your health insurance provider to see if the test is covered.

  • Does insurance cover CMP testing in Richmond?

    Yes, many health insurance plans will cover some or all of the cost of a CMP test, especially if your doctor determines that it is medically necessary given your present health situation. Some CMP test providers may contact your insurance provider on your behalf to confirm coverage, but you should also check with your health provider before selecting a CMP provider.

  • Where should I get a comprehensive metabolic panel in Richmond?

    Many doctors will recommend you to the lab or hospital where they regularly work when referring you for a CMP. A CMP test, on the other hand, can be obtained from any healthcare practitioner who offers this service, including urgent care clinics, hospitals, and clinical laboratories. You may also use Solv to locate the best CMP testing companies in your area.

  • How long does it take to get CMP blood test results in Richmond?

    It can take anything from a few hours to a day for your CMP blood test results to arrive. Some CMP providers will contact you immediately when the results are ready and allow you to review them online, while others will send the data to your doctor. Inquire with the CMP provider about when your test results will be available.

  • What is the normal range for a comprehensive metabolic panel?

    The "typical" range for data in a CMP will vary significantly since different CMP providers may utilize different metrics. Total protein levels should be between 6.0 and 8.3 g/dL, with albumin levels between 3.4 and 5.4 g/dL. Inquire with the CMP provider about the specific ranges for each value in the test that they deem typical.

  • Do I need to see a doctor before getting a CMP test in Richmond?

    For this test, some CMP testing firms require a physician's reference, while others do not. Your doctor may prescribe a CMP test as part of a routine physical exam or if liver or renal illness is suspected. Check with the CMP provider to determine if you need a doctor's reference before making an appointment or showing up for the CMP test.

  • How can I book a CMP test through Solv?

    Solv is a quick and easy way to find high-quality CMP test providers in your area without having to do a lot of searching online. In the provider search field on our website, type "Comprehensive Metabolic Panel" or "CMP Test" and your location. Solv will then offer you a selection of the best CMP testing companies in your area, together with their contact information, so you can make an appointment right away.

  • Can I do at home CMP testing?

    Some companies sell CMP test kits online, but you may need to take them to a lab or a doctor's office to have them administered. In rare situations, a doctor may come to your home to collect a blood sample for the CMP test before sending it to the lab. Inquire with your doctor about whether at-home CMP testing is possible or feasible for you, based on your current health situation.
