Lab Process
A written lab order is documentation that includes the full patient name, date of birth, social security number and valid health care provider name with contact information.
All illegible or unclear orders must be verified by lab personnel prior to administering laboratory services.
Patients must present either a DoD ID card (CAC) or driver’s license with photo upon arrival to the outpatient phlebotomy clinic. Patients who cannot present appropriate Identification will be asked to visit Patient Administration to verify eligibility. Patients will be given a temporary eligibility form and will be asked to present a DoD ID card to the PAD within 30 days of their visit so as to avoid receipt of invoice for received services.
Notice to Patients: Outside Orders No Longer Accepted
Effective immediately, our facility no longer accepts laboratory orders from non-DoD providers or outside healthcare organizations. All outside orders for laboratory testing can be obtained utilizing any laboratory within the Humana Network.
