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 authorize 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 centers 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 centers 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.
How long is an ultrasound requisition valid for?
The validity of an ultrasound requisition can vary, but many providers adhere to a standard period of approximately six months. This helps ensure the lab requisition remains clinically relevant and supports accurate, up-to-date testing for patient safety.
Can I get an X-ray without a doctor?
You can connect with a licensed doctor within minutes and receive a lab requisition, precisely what you need for the appropriate test. You can then take your online requisition to any accredited clinic. Once your results are ready, our doctors review them with you, explain the findings, outline the next steps, and provide a doctor’s prescription when appropriate, without requiring an in-person exam.
How can I get a requisition for a pregnancy blood test?
You can get a requisition for a pregnancy blood test by consulting with a licensed doctor, who will review your symptoms and determine whether testing is appropriate. Pregnancy blood tests measure beta-hCG and come in two forms: qualitative (which confirms pregnancy) and quantitative (which measures exact hormone levels to assess early pregnancy or related conditions).
Can I email or fax my requisition form to the lab?
This depends on the lab. Many accredited labs and imaging centers now accept an online requisition, including electronic forms or a faxed copy sent directly from the doctor’s office, just like a standard lab requisition.
Is a lab requisition the same as a prescription?
Healthcare professionals use a lab requisition to request diagnostic tests such as blood or urine analysis. In contrast, a medical or antibiotic prescription outlines the specific medication a doctor has prescribed for your treatment.
