Hi,

I have a question concerning the time limit for an order. If a physician submits an order for a patient to come back in a certain amount of time, for example, labwork. The order states for the patient to come back in three months for glyco, comprehensive etc, and the patient doesn't come back in that allotted time, but comes in a couple of months later. Is that order still good or would the lab need to obtain a new order to do those labs?

Thanks,

Melody Underwood
