If you need to cancel a lab order for any reason, you can do so directly from the patient’s chart. This process will update the order status in your system, it does not cancel the order with LabCorp.
Steps to Cancel a Lab Order:
- Open the Patient’s Chart
- Navigate to the patient’s chart where the lab order was originally placed.
- Access Lab Orders
- On the left-hand navigation pane, select Lab Orders. This will display a list of all lab orders associated with the patient.
- Select the Order to Cancel
- Find the lab order you wish to cancel. Click the Cancel button located next to that specific order.
- Review the Cancellation Popup
- A confirmation popup will appear (see attached image). Review the information carefully.
- Confirm the Cancellation
- Click Cancel Order in the popup to proceed.
- Click Cancel Order in the popup to proceed.
This action will mark the lab order as canceled in your system only. It does not notify or cancel the order with LabCorp. If you need to cancel the lab with LabCorp directly, please follow their cancellation process.
