Lab Vendor Integration

Canvas Medical supports a Health Gorilla integration with a variety of lab vendors, including LabCorp and Quest. A comprehensive list of Health Gorilla-connected labs is available here.

If only Generic Lab appears as an option in the Lab Order command dropdown, the lab vendor integration setup has not been completed.

FAQs

Q: Why can I only see "Generic Lab" as an option when ordering labs?

A: If "Generic Lab" is the only option, your account has not been configured for integration with specific lab vendors. Contact Canvas Support with the required information to start the integration process.

Q: Do I need to log into Health Gorilla separately to order labs?

A: No, all lab orders are processed directly through Canvas Medical using the Lab Order command. Logging into Health Gorilla separately is unnecessary.

Q: How can I send lab orders if the lab is not integrated with Canvas?

A: Select "Generic Lab" in the Lab Order command. Once the command is committed, use the following steps:

  • Click the triple menu of the command.

  • Select Fax.

  • Choose the lab from the dropdown directory or manually enter the lab information.

Q: How is a new provider set up to order labs in Canvas?

A: After integration is complete, if a new provider needs access to order labs, contact Canvas Support. They will send an invite to the provider and configure their staff profile for lab ordering.
