We’re Making Test Re-Ordering a Whole Lot Simpler
August 25, 2021

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.

Brand New Patient Instructions Page
March 31, 2021

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! 🙌

Start Orders Directly From the Lab Test Catalog
March 17, 2021

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!)

Hand In-Office Kits to Patients for 6 Labs Including DUTCH, DSL, and US Biotek
February 17, 2021

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.

We Now Let Patients Know When Their Samples Have Arrived at the Lab
February 16, 2021

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 Can Now Pause Orders Until They’re Ready to Move Forward
February 15, 2021

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.

January 28, 2021

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!
