All other tests do need to be scheduled through Central Outpatient Registration 302.421.4940. Patients need a written order from the health care provider specifying the procedures they want performed and the associated diagnoses. Please call with any questions.

    You will need to register at Central Outpatient registration which is located next to the outpatient lab on the third floor of the MOB.  Please bring your prescription, insurance information and personal identification such as a driver’s license.  Pre-registration is available for lab services by calling 302.421.4040
