We’ve heard from many of you that you like to place the same lab test orders again and again. This makes total sense to us, too - for example, checking in on a patient’s gut health requires an initial test followed by another test after a certain time period.

To help make repeat orders as simple as possible, we first launched custom bundles - allowing you to create, save, and name any lab test bundle of your choosing from multiple lab providers for easy one-click ordering.

But, now, we’re making ordering the same tests over and over again even more convenient!

Order a test again

This feature is perfect for those who want to order the same tests for a patient, but haven't scheduled them in advance.

Simply go into your dashboard, click the “order again” dropdown and select “order now”

You’ll then be brought to the checkout page, where your patient’s information and tests will already be loaded and you can checkout as normal. As easy as pie.

Scheduling a future order

Do you have a specific date in mind for when you need to re-run a test? If so, this feature is for you.

Simply go into your dashboard, click the “order again” dropdown and select “schedule order”. You’ll be brought to this calendar where you can schedule the order for a future date.

After you schedule the order, it will appear in your dashboard as a reminder. You can edit or re-schedule from there if something changes!

If you’ve elected to pay for the order, then the card on file will be charged on the date the order is scheduled for. Your patient will receive notification that the test has been ordered, as usual.

If you’ve designated your patient as the payer, then your patient will receive an e-mail as usual asking for payment.

Do you see patients in person and want to hand out lab kits, or draw for phlebotomy, during an appointment?

You can now order the in-office lab supplies you need, like extra tubes & tourniquets from Access Medical, or Dutch Complete Kits right within Rupa. Plus, you can track orders & view order history, too! 🎉

Before using a kit on a patient, simply activate your kit by placing the order on Rupa and selecting “In Office” delivery method at check-out. Super easy! 🤩

You can currently order the lab supplies from Access, DUTCH, Diagnostic Solutions, Boston Heart, US Biotek & Alletess. Best part? We’re working on adding new labs ASAP!

Order In-Office Lab Supplies

We've just launched Transaction Reports, a way for clinics to download their Order and Billing history with Rupa. Now, you can customize a date range and download a history of your patient orders, billing information, custom fee payouts, and lab test order history.

• Select from pre-set date ranges like your previous month or entire year

We are excited to launch Food Plans — a magical way to automatically generate personalized food plans for your patients in under 60 seconds.

After learning how many of you spend hours and hours customizing food plans for your patients, we realized we could help. Food Plans utilizes a HIPAA-compliant version of AI to power the instant generation of the plan (it’s so magical - you gotta try it out! 🦄). You’ll still have full control to edit it so the plan is perfect for your patient.

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Reference Guide!

It is designed to make it easier than ever to find the information you need about lab testing. With the Reference Guide, you can quickly and easily access lab tests, lab companies, health categories, bundles, lab test comparisons, live classes, bootcamps, magazine articles, and podcast episodes - all in one place!

Click the Learn About Labs tab in the sidebar to check it out!

We’re thrilled to bring this to you, and we can’t wait to hear what you think! Check it out today and let us know what you think!

In a busy clinic, we have learned that sometimes our practitioners want to designate someone else to manage their order related emails, updates and questions. Now, we have a way to do that! 

Introducing Notification Settings: Practitioners can choose a new point of contact to receive their order-related updates.

Navigate to your Clinic Settings, where anyone within your clinic can update your preferences.

Whether you prefer all notifications to go to one email, or whether each practitioner has their own staff member, your settings are customizable. Both practitioners and staff have access to make these updates.

We know that summarizing your patient’s results and building a treatment plan can be time-consuming – that’s why we just launched our new Results Summary tool! 

Results Summary allows you to pull key insights from your patient’s lab tests and share simplified, visual, and actionable plans directly from Rupa. 🤩

Once your client’s results are in, you can:

• Highlight relevant biomarkers with visualizations
• Customize your reference ranges and biomarker analysis, optimizing for personalized outcomes
• Add treatment plan tasks such as supplements, lifestyle, and nutrition recommendations
• Document your patient’s symptoms, tying them directly to data-backed results 

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.

Introducing our Order Details page for patients

We’ve designed the Order Details page as a tool to reduce admin burden on your practice. No more fielding questions from patients about orders!

• Download receipts and superbills
• View their results (after you release them)

‍

How does it work?

After you place an order and the patient completes payment, the patient receives an email with a link to their Order Details page. They can access that page by entering their last name and date of birth - no need to create an account! Once on the details page, they can view the status of their order, and download receipts, requisitions, superbills and results as the order progresses.
