Lab requisitions

Lab requisition is the physicians order for a lab report. It is similar to a prescription and some lab tests require a doctor’s order in order to carry out the test.

  • How do online lab test requisitions work?

 

During your online visit, the online doctor at Gotodoctor.ca virtual care services will inform you the need of additional testing for your condition. Afterwards your doctor will provide you with a requisition form. You can take your requisition form to any lab and get tested. Once your test results are ready, you can get back to your doctor for review.

 

  • Can I order all lab tests online?

 

You can receive requisitions of most tests online at Gotodoctor.ca. They include diagnostic imaging tests such as ultrasounds, X-ray, and MRI scans. Other tests are blood tests and tests relevant to reproductive health. Some tests however may require doctor’s discretion specific to your diagnosis.
