MVP Health Care® (MVP) is collaborating with BioReference Laboratories to provide MVP Members an easy way to complete their medically necessary lab testing. MVP is utilizing Scarlet Health®, BioReference’s mobile phlebotomy service that offers specimen collection at a convenient location of your patients’ choosing such as their home or workplace.

Scarlet® is ideal for:

How Scarlet Works:

There are two ways Scarlet collections can be ordered, provider-initiated or patient-initiated:

Provider-Initiated

1. Provider starts an electronic BioReference lab test order in their EMR or InsightDx
2. Provider adds code TH31-8 to order to initiate the Scarlet process
3. Provider gives the patient a provider-initiated patient instructions sheet: Provider-Initiated Patient Instructions (PDF)
• If you would like customized and/or printed Provider-Initiated Patient Instruction tear pads sent to you, please email your request to hello@scarlethealth.com
4. Patient receives a text and email from Scarlet® with a link to schedule their appointment online
5. A Scarlet Health Professional comes to your patient’s location at the appointed time to collect the specimen
6. Test results are sent to the ordering provider via their electronic ordering system and the patient may access their test results via the secure, HIPAA-compliant BioReference Patient Portal

Patient-Initiated

Patients can still take advantage of the Scarlet at-home collection service even if you’re not set up with BioReference.

1. Provider places an order for laboratory testing
2. Provider gives the patient a copy of their lab test order and a Patient-Initiated Patient Instructions sheet: Patient-Initiated Patient Instructions (PDF).
• If you would like printed Patient-Initiated Patient Instruction tear pads sent to you, please email your request to hello@scarlethealth.com.
3. Patient uploads a copy of their test order at mvphealthcare.com/labs to initiate and schedule the Scarlet collection
4. A Scarlet Health Professional comes to your patient’s location at the appointed time to collect the specimen
5. Test results are faxed to the ordering provider and the patient may access their test results via the secure, HIPAA-compliant BioReference Patient Portal

Why Scarlet®

As we learned in the recent MVP podcast: Exploring the Virtual-to-Physical Care Continuum, patients desire availability, which is a component of access, convenience, and value. Scarlet gives patients an easy option to stay current with their laboratory testing which may not only lower costs but may also lead to improved health outcomes and happier patients. When you tell your patients about Scarlet, you not only give them the choice of convenience and peace of mind, you may also reduce the unfilled lab test gap. In addition, you may be able to improve quality performance by closing gaps in care across several measures.
