How to get a lab test requisition
Step 1
Sign up and request a visit
Share your symptoms and the lab test you're looking for.
Lab tests are ordered at the doctor's discretion based on your symptoms and case. If you don't have employer or insurer coverage, fees may apply.
Note: Maple isn't intended for emergency lab testing. If you need immediate results, please seek in-person care.
Step 2
Connect with your practitioner
Your visit will begin over text with the option to switch to audio or video if needed. Or, schedule an appointment with a specialist for another time.
If we’re not the right fit for your request, we’ll let you know where to go next.
Step 3
Get your lab test requisition
You’ll receive a digital copy of your lab test requisition to view, download and print your lab test requisition directly from the app. Then take it to any lab across Canada that works for you.
Once your results are in, we'll let you know. If you need a follow-up, you can request another visit anytime.

Pricing and payment
Lab requisitions are available in most provinces. Currently, they're not available in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. In Nova Scotia, they're only available to patients through the VirtualCareNS program in the Full Care stream.
Some provinces have restrictions on how lab tests can be ordered. In some cases, separate fees may apply for privately ordered tests, or labs may not honour the requisition at all. We've paused test ordering in these provinces to avoid challenges for you.
We're working with stakeholders in each province to understand when we can resume this service. Need more info? Contact our Customer Support Team.
Lab requisitions are included in your visit. If your visit isn't covered by private or provincial health insurance, a fee may apply.
When you take your requisition to a lab, most lab tests are covered by your provincial health coverage.
