In accordance with HS 1309, please complete the survey below to request approval for a new test that is not orderable in CareConnect.

The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine has a process for evaluating new test requests and qualifying reference laboratories to ensure quality of patient care, as well as compliance with accreditation requirements and applicable State/Federal laws including, but not limited to, possession of CLIA certification and a California State Laboratory license. New test requests will also be reviewed by the Laboratory Stewardship Task Force for medical necessity, consensus among applicable ordering providers, and cost and reimbursement. The review process for a new laboratory test may take approximately 8-10 weeks. Avoid collecting the specimen until the request has been approved.

Please contact the Laboratory at LabSupportMngmntGrp@mednet.ucla.edu if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you!
