Requisitions Instructions


The University of Diagnostic Laboratories (UIDL) requisitions follow a standard format designed to obtain the necessary information for performance of the testing requested. The format may vary slightly for specialized testing. Referring institutions can expedite the processing of their specimens by selecting and completing the appropriate referral requisition for the service requested.

The user should pay particular attention to those parts of the requisition noted as required information. Without the minimal required information requested on the University of Iowa Health Care requisitions, processing of the referred specimen may be delayed until the information can be obtained from the referring client.

Contact UIDL Client Services at 319-384-7212 (toll free: 1-866-844-2522) for assistance with selecting or completing any pathology outreach requisitions.

All customer accounts require a unique “Client Number” which identifies the referrer to us. The Client Number should be used on all documents submitted. Contact UIDL Client Services at 319-384-7212 (toll free: 1-866-844-2522) to set up a new account.
