Private Physician Lab Orders
The Campus Health & Wellbeing laboratory will assist students who come to the lab with laboratory orders from their personal physicians (physicians not associated with Cal Poly Campus Health & Wellbeing). Private physician lab orders and collected specimens are sent directly to Quest Diagnostics and are NOT performed by the Cal Poly laboratory. The results will be faxed from Quest directly to the ordering physician noted on the lab order.
The Cal Poly laboratory does not receive private physician lab order results that are not part of the student’s health record here at Cal Poly Campus Health & Wellbeing.
