BC Maternity Lab Requisition HLTH 1935 (SOPLR-M)

The prenatal counterpart to BC's standard outpatient lab requisition, laid out by gestational age around the tests Perinatal Services BC recommends: 0 to 14 weeks, 24 to 28 weeks, 36 to 37 weeks, plus risk-based tests. Maternity care providers use it from the first prenatal visit and record the estimated date of confinement. The patient takes it to a laboratory, and the 2026/05/15 edition is current.

Who completes it

The practitioner providing maternity care completes the billing, practitioner, copy-to, patient, EDC, diagnosis, medication and test sections and signs it. The collector completes the collection date, time and collector boxes.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Give the signed requisition to the patient to take to a laboratory collection site. Prenatal genetic screening and the blood group and antibody screen are ordered on separate requisitions, which the form names.
Who pays
The Bill to box directs charges to MSP for insured tests, or to ICBC, WorkSafeBC, the patient or another payer; unlike HLTH 1901, no test on this form is marked self-pay.

Good to know

  • The Serum Integrated Prenatal Screen is drawn in two parts, at 9 to 13+6 weeks and 14 to 20+6 weeks; it, the quad screen and MSAFP each need their own Prenatal Genetic Screening Laboratory Requisition.
  • Blood group and antibody screen is ordered on the Canadian Blood Services BCY Prenatal Screening Request. The form recommends a repeat antibody screen at 24 to 28 weeks in all first pregnancies and Rh D negative patients.
  • Gestational diabetes testing is two-step: the 50 g one-hour screen first, then the 75 g two-hour confirmation only if the screen is positive, after a minimum 8-hour fast with water permitted.
  • The May 2026 revision removed the non-nominal HIV option and replaced 'women' with 'patients'. Outdated SOPLR-M copies, including laboratory-branded ones, must be replaced by November 15, 2026.

Frequently asked questions

Which tests does the BC maternity requisition list for 36 weeks?

At 36 to 37 weeks the form lists a hematology profile (CBC) and the Group B Strep screen by vagino-anorectal swab, with a penicillin allergy box. Syphilis screening is added after 35 weeks for patients planning a home birth. Risk-based tests at 28 to 32 weeks include repeat HIV serology, chlamydia and gonorrhea NAAT, and syphilis screening.

Can I order thyroid tests on the maternity requisition?

Yes. Under Other Tests as Clinically Indicated, thyroid function offers TSH only for monitoring replacement therapy, or TSH-first algorithms for suspected hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, marked for physician referrals only. The 0 to 14 week risk-based list also includes TSH for patients with risk factors for hypothyroidism, alongside hepatitis C and fasting glucose or A1c.

Where do I find the current HLTH 1935?

PHSA's Standard Outpatient Laboratory Requisitions page links the gov.bc.ca file for HLTH 1935, alongside HLTH 1901 and the pharmacist version. Laboratory operators may also publish branded copies, which must keep the provincial content and layout. Check that the footer reads HLTH 1935 2026/05/15 before printing it or loading it into an EMR.
