7. Why do I have to complete an MGL requisition AND the referral laboratory’s requisition?
While MGL is not funded to assist in the coordination of out-of-province testing (see the MSP approval letter), we
recognize that good patient care would be impeded if this service was not available. Therefore, currently we will
ship samples to referral laboratories for MSP funded testing. In order for the sample to arrive in our laboratory,
you must complete the MGL requisition. MGL has neither the resources nor the knowledge of the patient’s
clinical history to complete the referral laboratory requisition. Therefore, the physician requesting the test from
the referral laboratory is responsible for completing all associated paperwork.
8. Do I need to provide the sample collection date on the referral lab requisition? How do I know when
it was collected?
No. When MGL packages your patient’s sample for shipment, a label indicating the sample collection date will
be placed on the referral lab requisition.
9. The referral laboratory does not have a requisition OR the requisition does not request information
about the ordering physician and/or billing information. Now what?
Full and complete contact information should be provided for ALL testing requested, regardless of whether the
information is requested on the forms from the external laboratory. This includes: ordering physician name,
address, phone and fax numbers; cc Physician name and address; Health records name and address; billing
information. Additional information can be provided in a letter that includes patient demographics (Name, PHN,
DoB) attached to or in place of a referral laboratory requisition.
10. Does the ordering physician have to sign the referral laboratory requisition?
Yes. Physicians are required to sign all test orders. Many laboratories will not proceed with testing without this
signature. MGL cannot comment on whether a designee would be accepted.

11. When and why is the “Consent to Release Information” form required?
BC Privacy laws prohibit the release of personal information outside of Canada without full disclosure and signed
consent; Canada is not able to protect a patient’s personal information once it is sent outside of the country.
Both personal and institutional penalties apply, should laws be contravened.
Consent must be obtained each and every time any time a sample is being sent to a lab outside of Canada, and
for each and every laboratory/institution to which a sample is sent.
The PHSA also has policy which applies to all employees:
MGL is, therefore, required to have on file, evidence of signed consent to release information outside of Canada.
This form must be signed any time a sample is being sent to a lab outside of Canada, and for each and every
laboratory/institution to which a sample is sent. Please fax the relevant signed consent form with each request
for shipment.
