Coordination of Care Recipient

A Coordination of Care Recipient is an additional provider linked to a lab test order when multiple providers have requested the same test for a patient.

• When more than one provider orders the same test, the system merges these requests into one test at the time of collection.

• Because the system can only assign one Authorizing Provider, one provider remains listed as the Authorizing Provider, while all other providers become Coordination of Care Recipients.

• Both the Authorizing Provider and the Coordination of Care Recipients share equal responsibility for reviewing and acting on the test results, since they all ordered the test.
