Sending a lab test recommendation

Providers

Labs on Fullscript simplifies your workflow by bringing test ordering and management into one platform. You can browse a comprehensive catalog of specialty and blood tests, and send your first order in seconds.

Before you send your first lab test recommendation:

  • Ensure you’re registered for labs by verifying your credentials and accepting the terms of service. 
  • Depending on your ordering access, we’ll prompt you to sign up for the authorization network.  

Note:

Labs are available to US patients, except those in NY, NJ, RI, HI, and offshore US territories.

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.

Note:

Lab testing can’t be added to multi-patient plans.

To add a labs recommendation to a patient plan:

  1. In the left-hand navigation, click Labs, then select Catalog.
clicking catalog to explore labs
  1. Search the catalog by test name, lab company, sample type, biomarker, or health category.
  2. Click Build plan or Add to plan when you’ve found the test(s) you’d like to recommend to your patient.
Selecting Add to plan to add a test to a patient plan.

Tip!

Want to compare lab tests side-by-side before adding one to a plan? Learn how in Comparing lab tests.

  1. Click Review.
Click Review in plan drawer.
  1. Add products, additional resources, or add a message for your patient.

Note:

Lab plans can only be edited before they’re purchased. If changes are needed after the order is placed, a refund or a new order may be required.

  1. Click Send to patient.

Lab test add-ons

If add-ons are available for a test, you’ll have access to those through the labs 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. Open the Lab display page by clicking on the lab name.
  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.

  1. 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 order dashboard from the main left hand navigation by choosing Labs and then clicking Orders.
