What to Bring to Your Lab Visit
Preparing for your visit is crucial for a smooth experience.
Learn what you need to bring for your lab test.
MOH Requisition Form
Your healthcare provider will order tests for you by giving you a Ministry of Health (MOH) Requisition. To avoid delays on the day of test, ensure that you bring your completed MOH form along with your health card.
A valid and completed Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care Laboratory Requisition form for the tests ordered by your doctor. Present this form to the medical laboratory assistant.
Things to keep in mind:
- Confirm that your full name, gender, date of birth, address and phone number are correct and complete on your form
- Note, requisitions are only valid for six months from the date signed by your doctor
- MLW will not accept requisition that are not signed by a doctor
- MLW will not accept requisition forms issued by hospitals
Valid Health Card
Bring your valid provincial health card each time you visit.
- Although most routine tests are covered under your provincial health insurance plan, some tests may not be covered.
- For your convenience, MLW accepts these payment types: cash, cheque, Visa, MasterCard and debit card. Secure online payments can be made here.
Preparation Prior to Testing
For your physician to accurately interpret your results, certain tests may require special preparation prior to procurement. Visit our Test Instruction Page to see if there are special instructions that must be followed prior to testing.
