We’re thrilled to announce that DNA Rx is our latest lab partner on Rupa! DNA Rx is a woman-owned lab focused on making nutrigenomics more accessible and easier to understand.
Tests that are offered through DNA RX are used to diagnose histamine intolerance, Celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, vitamin deficiencies, and neurotransmitter problems.
DNA Rx’s most popular test - the Wellness Genetic Panel - provides information on 40 genes that are relevant to diet and lifestyle. With just a simple cheek swab, it can help uncover vitamin deficiencies, the best diet for the patient, how their neurotransmitters function, and what food/chemical sensitivities may be present.
DNA RX says that practitioners of all types use their testing for wellness and precision medicine.
We welcome DNA RX to Rupa! You can order DNA RX’s labs on Rupa by clicking on the link below. By ordering on Rupa, you can order labs in just 2-3 steps in 60 seconds or less, have all results come to one place, and have us take care of all patient & lab logistics, issues, and questions.
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:
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:
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.
ELISA/ACT Biotechnologies is known for their lymphocyte response assay for detecting delayed hypersensitivities. We've heard from many of you how useful their testing is and are excited to have them on board Rupa! You'll see ELISA/ACT in your catalog and ordering portal when you login.
