TriCore Reference Labratories

TriCore is an independent, non-profit clinical laboratory in New Mexico that runs a large network of patient care centers and a central core laboratory. It serves patients, hospitals and providers across the state, and publishes respiratory infection dashboards drawn from its testing data. Its test directory is open to providers and the public, and it offers an online option for patients who want to order their own tests.

Patients can make an appointment at one of more than 40 patient care centers throughout New Mexico, or walk in, though appointments are encouraged. The core laboratory at Woodward Place NE in Albuquerque does not collect patient samples, so patients should go to one of the collection locations instead. Results can be viewed through the patient results portal, and bills can be paid online.
