Kelsey-Seybold Clinic has a standardized process for receiving radiology and laboratory orders from non-Kelsey physicians participating in capitated health plans (generally identified by “KelseyCare”, Capitated or Marketplace in the plan name. You can also refer to the Managed Care Resource Guide.)
To ensure a timely and seamless experience for patients and plan members, please submit orders via the appropriate fax/e-fax, or email addresses listed below.
When orders are faxed to Kelsey-Seybold, they are entered directly into the electronic medical record (EMR) system. Submitting orders via fax or e-fax helps ensure they are processed and available in advance, allowing for faster service when the patient arrives at a Kelsey location.

What should my patient do next?
- Patients can visit any Kelsey-Seybold location for laboratory or radiology services.
- Note: Some radiology services require a scheduled appointment—refer to the radiology order form for details
- Upon arrival, patients will be directed to the appropriate check-in desk.
- Patients will be responsible for paying any applicable cost-share
- After check-in, they will proceed to the Lab/Radiology waiting area until called for their service
What if orders weren’t sent electronically?
- Patients whose orders have not been submitted electronically may experience longer wait times upon arrival.
- If a patient brings only paper orders and they have not been sent ahead electronically, Kelsey-Seybold must complete an internal processing step.
- This process typically takes 15–30 minutes, which may delay service.
How does our office view the results?
- Results are automatically faxed to the affiliate provider’s default number on file in Epic, with an additional copy sent to the fax number listed on the requisition.
- Results can be accessed in Epic through Care Everywhere.
- When a Kelsey PCP places the order, they have the option to CC the affiliate provider on the results at the time of ordering.
