For Lifeforce members, it is crucial to understand that each blood draw requires its own lab requisition. Using an outdated requisition for follow-up blood work can cause significant issues, including delays or lost results. This article explains why a new requisition is necessary for each appointment.
Unique Order Numbers
- Specific to Each Order: Each new lab requisition is tied to a specific order and contains a unique order number. This ensures that the results are accurately linked to your Lifeforce account.
- Ensures Correct Testing: Using the correct requisition guarantees that all necessary biomarkers are tested as per the new order.
Risks of Using Old Lab Requisitions
- Inaccurate Orders: Using an old requisition can result in the Lab not having the correct order on file, leading to incomplete tests or missing data.
- Delays and Errors: This can cause significant delays in processing your results or even result in lost data, which can impede your health monitoring and treatment plan.
Printing and Bringing the Correct Requisition
- Download from Lifeforce Portal: Always download and print the lab requisition specific to your current order from your Lifeforce portal.
- Present at Lab: Hand the printed requisition to the Lab staff when able, to ensure they perform the correct tests and link the results to your Lifeforce account.
How to Access Your New Requisition
- Timing: After placing a new order, it may take 15 minutes to 2 hours for the requisition to generate and be available in your Lifeforce portal.
- Download Process: Log in to your portal, navigate to your dashboard, and click the prompt to download the new lab requisition.
It is essential to use a new lab requisition for each follow-up blood draw to ensure accurate and timely processing of your results.
