What's a lab requisition
A lab requisition is a document a practitioner provides after your visit. It authorizes specific lab tests — like blood work or urine tests — to help them get a clearer picture of what's going on and recommend the right treatment. You can bring your lab requisition to a local lab of your choice.
Depending on your province of residence, diagnostic imaging may be available.
