Health authorities and lab regulators in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have issued restrictions on how lab tests can be ordered in the province. In some cases, they have imposed separate fees for tests ordered privately, and in other cases, they may not honour the lab requisition altogether.We have paused test ordering in these provinces to avoid challenges for patients in the lab requisition process. We continue to work with key stakeholders in each province to understand how and when we can resume this important service for Maple patients in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
