Submitting patient orders is an essential process to ensure efficient and accurate testing for Home Health, Hospice, and Assisted Living facilities. This guideline aims to provide a step-by-step process to submit patient orders seamlessly, facilitating timely and accurate testing.
Required Information:
Before submitting patient orders, verify you are contracted with the laboratory for ancillary services, please call Client Services at 626-303-8674 to confirm. Gather all the necessary patient information to streamline the process. The following details are required:
- Patient Information: Full Name, Date of Birth, Gender, Address, and Contact Information.

- Insurance Information: Insurance company name, policy number, and any required authorizations or pre-approvals.
- Test Details: Specific tests to be performed, including the name, ICD-10 codes, and any additional instructions.
If any orders are submitted without one of the following, the order will be on hold until the laboratory receives all four requirements.

MD Laboratory offers various submission methods to accommodate the needs of different facilities. Determine the preferred method for submitting patient orders:
- Email: MD Laboratory accepts patient orders via email. Please send all lab orders to mdlabsfax@gmail.com. This method is preferred as it allows for easy tracking and real-time updates.
