Manitoba Rural Lab Requisition R250-10-92

The version of Shared Health's Biochemistry/Hematology requisition for clinics and community settings outside Winnipeg and Brandon. Alongside the core chemistry, hematology and drug-level tests, it adds tests common at rural sites: dipstick urinalysis, urine pregnancy, Group A strep antigen and qualitative HCG. Version V04, implemented provincially on March 20, 2024, is current; Winnipeg and Brandon clinics use R250-10-94 instead.

Who completes it

The ordering provider completes the asterisked provider and patient fields, copy-to recipients, fasting instructions, tests and any dose or travel details. The collector records the diamond-marked collection fields and, at a referring lab, the number of serum and plasma tubes sent.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
The patient brings the printed requisition to the local hospital or community laboratory, which collects the samples and records any tubes sent on to a referral laboratory, including frozen shipments. Fillable PDF copies must be printed right away, not saved.
Who pays
Coverage is identified by the patient's PHIN, with the province or DND written in when Manitoba is not the insurer, and the provider's billing code goes in the provider block; no patient charges are listed.

Good to know

  • Several tests show two codes, such as NA/NAR for sodium or ALK/ALKP for alkaline phosphatase, reflecting the different laboratory systems used outside Winnipeg and Brandon.
  • HCG Qualitative is offered only when quantitative HCG is unavailable, and Group A strep antigen testing in Thompson goes on the Clinical Microbiology requisition instead of this form.
  • Malaria and other blood parasite requests need fever status and recent travel history, including when and where; the malaria test does not detect other blood parasites, which are ticked separately.
  • Shared Health replaced site and regional requisitions with standardized provincial forms in 2021, and old requisitions stopped being accepted after June 30, 2021.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between R250-10-92 and R250-10-94?

Both are Shared Health Biochemistry/Hematology requisitions for clinic and community patients. R250-10-92 is for sites outside Winnipeg and Brandon and adds dipstick urinalysis, urine pregnancy, Group A strep antigen and qualitative HCG, with dual test codes. R250-10-94 is for Winnipeg and Brandon clinics, and hospital patients use R250-10-91 or R250-10-93.

What did the 2024 update to R250-10-92 change?

Effective March 20, 2024, version V04 updated some biochemistry test codes, added a section for the physician's fasting instructions, and removed oral glucose tolerance and glucose challenge tests, which moved to the General Endocrinology requisition. Hematology sections did not change, and less common tests that were dropped can still be written under Additional Tests.

Who is responsible for critical results on rural lab orders?

Shared Health's FAQ states the ordering practitioner of record is legally responsible for critical results. R250-10-92 therefore makes the critical results phone number mandatory; for outpatients, an after-hours contact must be on the requisition or in the laboratory information system, or the specimen may be rejected.
