Provincial Health Plan Insured Requests

Electrocardiogram tracings are interpreted by the DynaLIFE panel unless the ordering healthcare provider specifies both the name and location of a non-panel physician in the ECG read by line on the requisition.

A copy of the tracing will be given to the patient if the requisition states, 'Patient to return with ECG'. The usual interpretation process of the tracing will still proceed.

Patients without valid provincial healthcare insurance are required to pay for laboratory services.

Patients insured by Quebec healthcare are required to pay for laboratory services and then seek reimbursement from their provincial insurance plan.
