Where can I get a Stanford Requisition?

Digital copies of Stanford’s requisitions can be found on the Test Requisitions page. For our contracted clients, we provide custom requisition forms with your account information in PDF form. Please contact ClinOpsContracts@stanfordhealthcare.org for additional support.

Do you provide collection supplies for sending samples?

Stanford provides specimen collection supplies for established clients. In addition to individual supplies, we also offer collection kits for renal pathology, muscle and nerve pathology and other esoteric testing that may require non-standard materials for collection. Please contact ClinOpsContracts@stanfordhealthcare.org to enquire about specimens.

Does Stanford Offer Courier Pick-up of Specimens?

Stanford offers courier services to transport specimens within a specified region of the San Francisco Bay Area. These services will be set up at the time of account establishment.

Is it possible for Stanford to bill the patient’s insurance for services rendered?

Stanford Health Care Lab's standard practice is to bill charges to the referring Provider or Facility for tests ordered. In some cases, SHC Lab may be able to bill the patient's insurance provider for tests, to see if your account is eligible for this 3rd party billing, please contact: ClinOpsContracts@stanfordhealthcare.org.

Does Stanford accept out of state insurance?

Stanford does accept limited healthcare insurance outside the state of California. That said, use of Stanford services by out of state patients often requires pre-authorization. We recommend confirming coverage directly with the patient’s insurance company.

Can Stanford bill for non-patient cases such as research and clinical trial cases?

Yes, Stanford can bill for cases that aren’t patient specific. Please contact our New client services on the Laboratory Testing Intake Form to discuss your specific interest and the representative can confirm that the specific work can be done.

Does Stanford perform pathology or clinical laboratory testing services on animal tissue specimens?

No, Stanford only performs pathology and clinical laboratory testing services on human tissue specimens.

I have a question about a bill for services. Who should I contact?

Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-877-717-3733 for assistance.
