The Commercial Mailouts Team in the Department of Pathology provides physicians with laboratory testing menus for esoteric testing not performed within University of Iowa Health Care.

Additionally, the Commercial Mailouts Team: 

• Selects referral laboratories for the quality of laboratory services, cost effectiveness, and efficiency of service.
• Provides electronic results availability which provides for easier reporting and shorter turn-around time.

Mailout testing information:

Mailout testing must be sent to an approved referral laboratory. Please review the Approved Genetic Referral Laboratory List for referral laboratories that are currently approved. If the desired laboratory is not listed, complete the New Referral Laboratory Form at least four weeks prior to requesting testing. A committee will review the application and notify the submitting provider whether the requested referral laboratory is approved.
