Results Reporting Through Online Portal or Your Physicians Office's Preference
Unliab’s standard reporting options include fax, or our online system. By default all results are reported using both methods. However, if your office prefers one method over another we can set it up to use that method exclusively for your account.

FDA Donor Screen and Other Critical Results
Unilab’s standard operating procedure regarding FDA Donor and other time sensitive results is to contact clients to verbally communicate and confirm a positive result. This is done in addition to providing the result(s) via fax and our online system. This purpose of this policy is to give physicians as much time as possible to provide prompt clinical intervention.
