Standard 9: Specimen collection – Australia National Pathology Standards (First Edition 2027)

Australia National Pathology Standards (First Edition 2027) 9.04: Request assessment: perform services only on a documented request naming the patient, requesting practitioner and services, assess Medicare-funded requests for compliance with the Health Insurance Act, manage requests with insufficient or incorrect information, and document verbal requests for further testing and receipt of the confirmatory written request

What does 9.04 require?

Testing follows a documented request that names the patient, the requesting practitioner and the services wanted. Requests to be billed to Medicare are checked for compliance with the Health Insurance Act and its instruments; requests with missing or wrong information are handled through a defined process; and a verbal request for further testing on a specimen already held is recorded, together with the arrival of the written confirmation.
