If you have lab orders from a non-UW Health provider

UW Health will follow insurance (payor) requirements when submitting claims for lab services. Due to variations in payor requirements, please contact your insurance provider to clarify lab benefits.

Lab testing will be performed at a UW Health lab when it is possible. This does not mean that your lab will be processed at the same location it was drawn. If lab testing cannot be performed at a UW Health lab, testing will be routed to a UW Health-approved reference lab.

For general pricing information, please contact UW Health Priceline at (608) 263-1507.
