Sending Labs Electronically to Labcorp and Quest

Sending Labs Electronically to Labcorp and Quest

We understand that the order codes field in Athena has caused some confusion when placing lab orders to Labcorp or Quest. Below are few tips to streamline the process on successfully submitting electronic lab orders in athena in an encounter or an order group:

To send labs electronically to Labcorp or Quest, you will need to select lab orders that are listed on their lab compendium. The easiest way to accomplish this is to:

1. List the preferred Labcorp or Quest location. If it was not entered during check-in, select the preferred lab from the preferences dropdown on the top left of the screen in the patient’s chart: 

                  

2. When selecting orders, select Show search results from > Selected Facility.

                  

3. The orders will then automatically only include LabCorp or Quest- specific test codes.

Note: For Labcorp, do not select any code with the ending -U as these labs are unpublished and no longer available in the Labcorp system. Either select the lab with no code at the end or select the order with -P (published) at the end. When selecting a code from this list, you will not be required to enter an order code.

                                  

Note: If you select an order from the global orders list, you will need to specify the Labcorp or Quest-specific order in the Order Codes section of the screen. Currently, all order sets contain global orders only. If you select from one of the order sets, you will need to indicate an order code for all lab orders (see screenshot below). See the Knowledge Base article titled "Labcorp Psychiatry Test List" for PDF of their specific tests and codes: https://geodehealth.zohodesk.com/portal/en/kb/articles/labcorp-psychiatry-test-list
