That means that you can show up at the lab you and your doctor had selected, and the phlebotomist will be able to pull up your order in their computer. To access information and instructions specific for your blood draw, please check your most recent treatment plan in the "Visit Summary" section. You can request at the front desk that we share your requisition with you through Charm. After we share it with you, you'll be able to access the requisition in the “Labs” section.

If you received an invoice from Origins for your labs, it’s because you selected the Client Bill option through Quest Diagnostics. Simply put, Quest bills the physician a lower price than if you were to pay out of pocket. Opting in for Client Bill is advised when your insurance (ie. Medicare) does not cover labs ordered by Naturopathic Physicians. If you received a large bill from the lab (over $500), please contact us right away so we can look into it!
