Testing
Completion Codes — Submitting
a Sample for Profile Completion
When submitting a profile, if one of the required samples is not available at the time of submission, the remaining sample can be submitted for completion within 30 days of the original profile at no additional charge. Simply submit the remaining sample with a new Test Requisition Form (TRF) ordering one of the respective no‑charge completion codes below. Please include the original profile’s 12‑character accession number on the TRF.
Completion codes will be billed as a new submission if they are:
- Submitted after 30 days
- Not in relation to a prior profile submission
- Without reference to the original accession number
Completion Code Examples:
- CT991NC — KeyScreen™ GI Parasite PCR Completion
- CT805NC — Ova and Parasite Completion
- CT808NC — Ova and Parasite with Giardia Completion
- 40510 CUADELAY — Urinalysis Completion
Follow‑up and Monitoring Tests
We offer reduced‑charge testing for serial patient monitoring and rechecks. Within 30 days of the original submission, order one of the codes below and include the original profile’s 12‑character accession number on the Test Requisition Form.
Recheck Code Examples:
- CRECHECK — Superchem with SDMA, CBC
- CT330R — Complete Blood Count Recheck
- CT760R — Urinalysis Recheck
- CM130R — Urine Culture Recheck
Recheck codes will be billed as a new submission if they are:
- Submitted after 30 days
- Not in relation to a prior profile submission
- Without reference to the original accession number
Add‑on Testing
You can easily add testing to base profiles at a reduced charge. Add‑ons must be ordered during the initial submission to receive discounted add‑on pricing. After the original profile is submitted, additional tests will be charged the regular individual test fee.
Test Cancellation
Testing that has not started can be canceled at no charge by calling the Customer Support Team. Testing that is already in process cannot be canceled.
Histology Note: All samples received for histology will be processed and evaluated. Histology tests may be canceled only prior to sample processing, and all samples in the accession must be canceled.
