Creating a lab recommendation

To send a lab test recommendation, follow the same steps you use to start a new supplement plan. If you already have a preferred workflow in your Fullscript account, keep using it.

You can start a lab recommendation from the Labs catalog or directly within a patient’s profile. Both paths take you to the same catalog and plan-building experience.

To add a lab recommendation to a patient plan:

1. In the left-hand navigation, click Labs, then select Catalog.

2. Search the catalog by test name, lab company, health category, or sample type.
3. Click Build plan or Add to plan when you’ve found the test(s) you’d like to recommend to your patient.

4. Click Review.

5. Add products, additional resources, or a message for your patient.

6. Click Send to patient.

Lab test add-ons

If add-ons are available for a test, you’ll have access to those through the lab display page. Add-on tests are optional, often single-biomarker tests that attach to a parent test. They let you expand or customize a panel without ordering a separate test at full price.

To include an add-on with a test:

1. Add the main (parent) test to the plan.
2. Click the lab test name to open the lab display page.
3. Click Add-ons available to be routed quickly to the available add-ons.
4. Find the add-on(s) you’d like to include and click Add to plan.

5. Complete the process in the same way you would to send a new supplement plan.

Viewing sent labs 

You can find patient plans with lab testing on the Lab orders dashboard — your all-in-one place to view orders, track statuses, and find results.

Find your practice’s lab orders dashboard from the main left hand navigation by choosing Labs and then clicking Orders.
