Lab Work

As a courtesy to our students, Student Health & Well-Being Primary Care clinics can draw blood for lab tests ordered by non-SHWB providers. However, for the safety of our students and to make sure that results are promptly transmitted to the ordering clinician, we have adopted this blood drawing policy as of February 1, 2012.

Lab Work Requested by an Outside Provider

Lab order slips from outside providers must be on that provider’s own Quest or Universal Lab slip. The requisition must be completely filled out, including:

• Name of the clinician ordering the lab work
• Contact information (address and phone/fax number)
• Quest account number
• Relevant ICD-10
• Lab tests requested

For the safety of our students, blood tests ordered by outside clinicians are only collected on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. The laboratory results will be sent from the laboratory directly to the outside (ordering) clinician. SHWB will not receive a copy of any lab results.

There is no extra blood-drawing fee.

If you have been referred outside of SHWB to a specialist or facility, we recommend the lab work is done at the specialist’s office to ensure timely review and management of abnormal results.
