In the provider portal, lab test requests can be created and managed efficiently. Providers can specify the type of tests needed, include ICD codes for billing purposes, set priority levels, and manage multiple test requests in one submission. Completed lab results are automatically added to the "Lab Results" section for seamless follow-up.
How to Create a Lab Test Request
Navigate to the "Patients" section and select the patient for whom the lab test is required.
Click on the "Labs" tab and select "+ Lab Test Request".
In the "Request Lab Test" form:
Enter or select the Lab Test Name from the dropdown.
Add the appropriate ICD Code(s) (this is essential for billing purposes).
Set the Priority Level (e.g., Urgent or Standard).
Add any Specific Instructions for the lab, if necessary.
To include multiple lab tests in the same request:
Click "+ Lab Request" and repeat the process for additional tests.
Click "Confirm" to submit the request.
Managing Lab Test Requests
After submission, all pending lab test requests are displayed in the Lab Requests section.
You can View Request or Edit Request by clicking the options menu (three dots) next to each request.
Handling Lab Results
Once the lab results are ready, they automatically populate under the "Lab Results" tab for the patient.
Providers can review and take necessary actions based on the test outcomes.
