We're excited to announce the launch of LabShops – a new way for you to grow your business and improve access to testing for your clients! With LabShops, you can create a custom e-commerce page to make testing available to your practice's community or educational program participants.

Here are some of the features you'll have access to with LabShops:

• Access to over 3000 lab tests through a signing physician.
• Custom fees and get paid out – you can add your own custom fee to each test or bundle and get paid out via Stripe once results come in for each client.
• Monetize your content by offering testing to your course participants and increasing the value of your educational content.
• Branded and custom to you – you can include your own logo, description, and video on the LabShop so your clients know the testing is recommended by you!
• Sleek and modern experience for your clients – we handle the logistics of the tests, so you can focus on growing your business.

This is just the beginning of what LabShops has to offer – we can't wait to see how you'll use it to scale your impact and improve access to testing for your clients.

Get started with your own LabShop

Today, we are launching the upgraded Rupa Labs Portal, including a brand new layout and structure. 🎉 We've taken all the feedback you've given us over the last year, and incorporated it into a layout and flow that should make your life even simpler and more delightful.

We now surface resources like shipping & turnaround times, FAQs, and our Support Center right from your portal.

As always, this is just the beginning. This new design is the foundation for many other important features you've requested (improved search and order filtering, etc.) As always, I'd love to hear what you think - feedback is so appreciated.

We have a really exciting announcement to make! We’re launching our first EHR partnership with OptiMantra. For tests ordered through Rupa, your patient results will automatically come into your OptiMantra account.

How the OptiMantra × Rupa integration works:

• You’ll place the lab orders in the Rupa portal as usual
• The Rupa portal will update with patient statuses (sample arrived at lab, results ETA, etc)
• All results will come in through the “Labs/Diagnostics” tab in OptiMantra automatically

Connect Your Rupa & OptiMantra Accounts

What EHR do you use? Let us know here. We’re working on adding more of these partnerships!

If you’ve been using Rupa, you already know we send your patients emails with key updates: ship dates, instructions, when samples arrive at the lab, and more. But now we’re super-charging your patient's instructions. 🚀

‍
Now when you place an order for your patient, your patient will receive an email with a link to step-by-step instructions on what to do next.

This page gives your patient detailed instructions on:

• Completing their tests (with key details & videos!)
• Filling out requisitions
• How to schedule their blood draw

See a “live” example of a Patient Instructions Page!

⭐️ Bonus: You will be able to access each of your patient’s custom instruction pages from the Order Events section in the Rupa portal!

Here’s to more clarity, ease, and simplicity with lab testing for your patients! 🙌

You’ll now be able to download requisition forms for paid orders right from the Rupa portal for these labs: Alletess, Bostonheart, Diagnostic Solutions, Spectracell, DUTCH, US Biotek, Vibrant America, iGeneX, Quicksilver, Access Med Labs, Cyrex, ELISA-Act, and Precision Point.

Note that some of our partner labs don’t offer digital requisition forms (Genova, GPL, Doctor’s Data, ZRT). If you need the req for these labs, please message our team!

We’ve heard from many of you that our lab test catalog is the easiest place to search, filter and select testing for your patients. Now, we’ve taken that one step further - as of today, you can start orders right in the catalog! 🚀 (Bonus Points: we also now show you shipping & turnaround times for each test right on the “more details” card!)

At Rupa, we started out offering drop-shipped kits for all labs. As of today, you can now use Rupa for your In-Office Kits from 6 of our labs - meaning you can hand a kit to a patient in person, and we’ll still handle the payment, instructions, and follow-ups, specimen issues, and results! 🎉

As we’ve grown, we’ve worked to support many of you who are operating partially in-person, or will eventually be fully in-person again. Our goal at Rupa is to support you whether in-person or virtual, for the long-term!

We also know that some kits are better when handed over in person -- i.e. for drawing blood samples on the spot, getting timing right with hormone panels, etc. ‍

We now offer In-Office kits for:

• DUTCH
• Diagnostic Solutions
• Alletess
• Spectracell
• US Biotek
• BostonHeart

Learn more about using In-Office Kits.

This has been a long desired feature to minimize the questions you’re getting from your patients! Many patients reach out to check on the status of their tests. Now, patients will get an email from Rupa when samples arrive at the lab. This email will also share the estimated turnaround time. Scheduling a follow-up is now one less item on your plate!

Note: we are only able to share sample information for labs that have this information available - some of our partner labs don’t, unfortunately! :(

Patients sometimes have to hold off on completing a test - because of test preparation, timing, financial reasons, etc. They can now pause an order, and get automatically reminded by Rupa when it’s time to complete the test. If your patient decides to pause their order, we will let you know in the patient’s Order Events in your dashboard.

You can now search and add ICD-10 Diagnosis Codes to every patient order in seconds. This will help your patients create Superbills they can submit to their insurance for reimbursement. It’ll now also be easier to place Genova orders with insurance - with ICD codes right in the ordering portal to select!

We know this has been a practitioner favorite and highly requested lab for a while. We’re so excited to now be partnering with Precision Point to bring you their suite of lab testing. Precision Point is known for Allergy, Sensitivity, and Intestinal Permeability testing. Learn about Precision Point's areas of expertise here.
