Labcorp is hiring a remote Data Processing Associate for its Invitae Genetics team, with listed pay of $17.75-$21 per hour. The work includes entering laboratory orders, creating patient records, and checking information for accuracy. The official description explicitly identifies this as a U.S. remote position, even though the page header names San Francisco.
You need a high school diploma or GED and at least one year of experience in healthcare, science, data processing, or a related field. The regular schedule includes Saturdays. This may suit someone who already handles records or detailed administrative work and wants to move into laboratory operations.
The biggest timing catch is the deadline: the description says the application window closes October 13, 2026. The site's structured date instead shows October 14. Treat October 13 as the deadline and confirm the application is still accepting submissions before spending time on it. This listing was active when checked on October 13, 2026.
What Is Labcorp?
Labcorp provides laboratory services to healthcare providers, patients, researchers, pharmaceutical companies, and health systems. This opening supports the company's Invitae Genetics team and the administrative information that moves through its laboratory workflow.
You would be working with patient and order information rather than performing hands-on laboratory testing. That distinction matters if you are looking for remote data entry: the role is about accurate processing inside a healthcare operation, with team coordination and performance expectations attached.
Pay and Benefits
The official pay range is $17.75-$21 per hour. Labcorp says offers depend on relevant experience, skills, applicable degrees or certifications, internal equity, and market data. The top of the range is an advertised ceiling rather than a promised starting rate.
The position is listed as full-time. Labcorp's benefits language says employees regularly scheduled for at least 20 hours per week are eligible for comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability coverage, a 401(k), paid or flexible time off, tuition reimbursement, and an employee stock purchase plan. Actual plan eligibility and terms should be confirmed during hiring.
The posting does not specify equipment provision or an internet reimbursement. It does require a suitable home workspace, reliable high-speed internet, and comfort working across multiple applications and two monitors. Ask which hardware the employer provides before assuming that your current setup meets its standards.
Job Highlight: Data Processing Associate – Clinical Lab Operations
The core job is keeping laboratory order information complete and accurate before and after accessioning, the laboratory's intake process. You would create records, enter order details, check previously entered information, and create tasks for customer support when something is missing.
This is a stronger data-entry match than a general support role that only occasionally updates a database. However, the employer also lists internal communication, team meetings, training, and strong verbal communication skills. It does not promise a completely silent workday or zero phone activity. The safest description is data processing and records work with collaboration.
The work is also measured. The posting mentions service targets and operational goals, so accuracy needs to hold up while you process a queue. Someone who enjoys structured tasks and notices small mistakes may appreciate that arrangement; someone seeking an unmonitored, choose-your-own-hours side gig should look elsewhere.
Key Responsibilities
- Create patient and laboratory order records.
- Enter order information into Invitae systems.
- Review previously entered information for accuracy.
- Create support tasks for kit requests or missing details.
- Coordinate with accessioning and client services teams when needed.
- Maintain reports and assist with compliance activities.
- Meet established service and operational targets.
- Participate in team meetings and training.
These duties support both laboratory operations and customer support. A useful application would show how you have kept information accurate while following a process, handling changing priorities, and communicating a problem to the right person.
Qualifications
The minimum education requirement is a high school diploma or GED. The minimum experience requirement is one year or more in healthcare, science, data processing, or a related field. This is an accessible experience threshold for some applicants, but it is not a no-experience opening.
Preferred experience includes a genetic testing clinical laboratory, collaborative team work, a role driven by volume or metrics, and current or previous Invitae experience. Those preferences should remain separate from the stated minimums.
The additional standards cover typing and data entry, attention to detail, problem solving, adapting to changing priorities, genetic testing knowledge or related experience, written and verbal communication, and organization across multiple applications. Salesforce, JIRA, or a similar CRM or ticketing platform is also named.
The home setup matters too: Labcorp asks for a quiet, dedicated space, reliable internet, and proficiency with remote collaboration. Consider both your background and your ability to work the listed hours before applying.
Resume Keywords
If they accurately reflect your experience, relevant terms include data entry, order processing, patient records, quality control, report maintenance, healthcare operations, Salesforce, JIRA, CRM, ticketing systems, service targets, and remote collaboration.
Use those terms inside truthful examples. Describing how you checked orders, corrected records, or handled a processing queue is more useful than adding software or laboratory experience you have not actually used. Keep required experience easy for a recruiter to find.
Location and Schedule
The description says U.S. remote, and the employer's structured record includes Remote_United States as an additional location. This supports a broad U.S. audience rather than a California-only interpretation of the header. No state exclusion list is supplied in the audited posting; confirm your specific state during the application process.
The regular schedule is Tuesday through Saturday, 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Pacific. Training lasts approximately three months and uses Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Pacific. These are fixed schedules, and training temporarily changes the days as well as the hours.
The regular shift is daytime Pacific and extends into the evening farther east. Calling it an overnight job would misdescribe the actual schedule. The posting does not specify travel, overtime, or a separate training wage.
Closing Notes
This is worth considering if you have at least a year of related experience, accurate typing and records skills, and availability for the Pacific schedule and Saturday work. The clearest advantages are the genuine data-processing duties, disclosed hourly pay, and U.S. remote designation.
The main limitations are the same-day deadline, required experience, measured workflow, and different training schedule. Requisition 269144 was active when checked October 13, 2026. Because the body and structured closing dates differ, use the earlier deadline and recheck immediately before applying.
