Lipid Panel Changes

Updated Direct LDL Order Education: 7.2.18

As per education provided in June 2018, the UMC lab and financial departments identified that they were receiving no reimbursement for Direct LDLs with Triglycerides less than 400. Based on this, subject matter experts were consulted and a new set of Lipid Panel orders were developed.

You will now find Lipid Panel and Lipid with Cardiac Risk panel for your use.
