For patients

Lab tests & referrals

When your doctor asks for a test, MacMedi turns it into a referral with a reference code. Pick a nearby partner lab, and when the report is ready it comes back to both you and your doctor.

Overview

About lab tests & referrals

When a doctor asks for tests, patients often leave with a scribbled list, visit a lab, and then have to carry the report back themselves. Details get missed and reports get lost on the way.

MacMedi turns the doctor's request into a referral with a reference code. At a partner lab, the code tells them exactly which tests were asked for. When the report is uploaded, it appears in your app and reaches your doctor too, so your follow-up visit can start with the results already in hand.

    The lab uploads the report. You and your doctor both see it.

FAQ

Common questions

Can the lab see my full history?

No. A lab only sees the one referral sent to it, never your other records.

Which labs can I use?

Partner labs in your city are listed in the app. We add more labs as MacMedi grows.
