Some tests are performed in the UMHC laboratory and some are sent out to a designated reference laboratories. There are charges for most laboratory tests, but some tests are free. Obtaining a Laboratory Test You will need to bring a written order from a member of the UMHC staff to the laboratory. The order will be written on a UMHC laboratory requisition. If you have an order from a physician who is not a member of the UMHC staff, the request will be transcribed onto a UMHC laboratory requisition by a member of the UMHC staff.
Some tests require dietary restrictions or special preparation.
The laboratory staff will discuss your test with you and let you know if any special preparations are involved.
