FirstLab, the recognized industry leader in compliance and safety management services, is pleased to announce the release of their new Online Test Ordering System “FirstRequest”! FirstLab is known as the leader in compliance services due to its customer service and cutting edge software solutions. FirstRequest makes the entire scheduling, collection and physical exam process more efficient and easier to manage with faster access, more intuitive navigation and simplified workflow solutions. The FirstRequest system now eliminates costly errors in the drug and alcohol testing and medical exam process, speeding up the turnaround time for our clients in a far more efficient way.
As the leading International Third Party Administrator of drug and alcohol testing and employer service programs in the industry, FirstLab understands that credentialing employees can be frustrating, time-consuming, and difficult to manage. FirstLab now offers a comprehensive management program with online scheduling and result reporting. Our FirstRequest system makes the entire process more efficient and much easier to manage. Clients have access to a vast network of clinics and can schedule Drug Tests, Titers, Vaccines, X-Rays, and Physicals, along with a variety of other medical tests, electronically. FirstRequest’s revolutionary system simplifies the drug/alcohol collection and medical exam process by incorporating an innovative new form with FirstLab’s online application! This online process is fast, efficient and paperless. This new functionality allows our clients to schedule any test through our FirstRequest system at the over 5,000 Quest and LabCorp Patient Service Centers nationwide without a doctor's prescription. Significantly reducing costs of such tests by up to 50% and offering thousands of locations to choose from. Once you complete the scheduling process, easily monitor results with a consolidated digital record.
FirstRequest allows the employer to submit a specific test request and then track the completion of that service with status updates. By using FirstRequest the employer will eliminate the need for time consuming phone calls or faxing between the clinic or FirstLab, and all in a paperless environment.
