Frequently asked questions
What is a lab test requisition form?
A lab requisition form is an official medical order from a licensed healthcare provider that instructs the laboratory on which tests to perform. If you require a requisition for blood work or another diagnostic test, this form acts as a medical referral to confirm that the test is necessary and properly documented.
A standard online requisition or paper requisition will include:
- Patient information
- The specific blood tests, scans, or panels requested
- The provider’s signature, credentials, and ordering details
Most accredited labs cannot proceed without a requisition. It guides the testing process, ensures accuracy, and determines how results are reported back to your doctor. If you are unsure how to obtain a requisition for a blood test, a doctor can issue one online, allowing you to order lab requisitions quickly and securely.
Do I need a doctor’s referral to order lab tests, or can I order them directly?
Yes, in most cases, you do need a medical professional to authorise lab tests or scans. You generally can’t request blood work without a requisition, and you cannot order an MRI or other imaging test independently. Most healthcare systems require a lab requisition from a provider before performing diagnostics, especially when it comes to a requisition for blood work.
Some regions offer direct-to-consumer options to order lab tests online, but even these services involve a licensed requisition doctor who reviews your information and officially approves the online requisition. This ensures the test is medically appropriate and that your results are processed and reported correctly.
Will my lab or imaging centres accept a requisition from an online doctor?
Yes, our requisitions are signed by a licensed physician, making them fully valid for testing. Labs and imaging centres will treat an online requisition from our doctors the same as any standard lab requisition or requisition for blood work, allowing you to proceed with confidence.
Can I get an X-ray without a doctor?
To get an x-ray, you first need to connect with a licensed doctor and receive a lab requisition. The doctor will determine if a an x-ray is needed. If approved, then you can take your online requisition to any accredited clinic and have the x-ray done.
