🔬Lab & Specimen Handling
Can providers upload proof of delivery?
Yes. Tracking numbers and FedEx delivery confirmations can be attached to bookings through the platform's document tools.
Proof of delivery is important for research and clinical trial draws where chain of custody must be maintained from collection to lab receipt. Providers attach FedEx tracking numbers and delivery confirmations directly to the booking record, giving all parties visibility into shipment status.
