Testing Algorithm Delineates situation(s) when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
When multiple specimen types are required to perform a panel of tests, the laboratory will perform the tests for which the appropriate specimen type was received and cancel those for which the appropriate specimen was not received. Please be advised that this may change the degree of interpretation received with the report.
