In today’s digital-first world, Canadians are rethinking how they access healthcare—from online doctor visits to home medication delivery. One of the most convenient innovations? Home lab testing with virtual prescriptions, also called Virtual Lab Testing Ontario. Whether you need routine blood work or a new prescription, it’s now possible to do much of it from the comfort of your home.
In this article, we break down how online lab requisitions in Canada work, how to order a blood test virtually, and how prescriptions can be delivered right to your door—all without stepping foot in a doctor’s office.
What Is Virtual Lab Testing?
Virtual lab testing allows you to speak with a licensed Canadian doctor online, get a lab requisition (test order), and visit a nearby lab or even schedule a mobile blood draw. It eliminates unnecessary clinic visits, streamlines the process, and saves time.
In Ontario and most provinces, lab requisitions can be sent electronically to labs like LifeLabs, Dynacare, or Alpha Labs—making the process 100% paper-free.
How Online Lab Requisitions Work in Canada
Here’s how online lab requisitions in Canada typically work through platforms like OGAEI.care:
- Book a Virtual Consultation
Meet with a licensed physician through video call. You can discuss symptoms, request routine checkups, or follow up on chronic conditions. - Doctor Issues a Digital Lab Requisition
If blood tests are needed, the doctor creates a requisition form and either emails it to you or sends it directly to the lab. - You Visit a Lab or Schedule Mobile Collection
You can walk into a local lab (no appointment required at most labs) or book a mobile lab technician to come to your home. - Results Are Reviewed Virtually
Once results are in, your doctor will go over them in a follow-up virtual blood work review. If necessary, they may prescribe medication or request further testing. - Prescription Delivery
If medication is needed, your doctor can issue an e-prescription to a local pharmacy—or use a mail-order pharmacy for home prescription delivery.

What Can You Test for Through Virtual Care?
Through online blood test ordering, you can get tested for:
- General health checkups (CBC, cholesterol, iron)
- Thyroid function
- Blood sugar / diabetes monitoring
- Hormone levels
- Vitamin deficiencies (B12, D)
- STI/STD screening
- Fertility tests
- Kidney or liver function
Some services even offer urine or swab tests mailed to your home.
Is It Covered?
Many virtual doctor appointments in Canada—especially in provinces like Ontario—are covered by OHIP or private insurance. However, lab tests are typically covered only if the requisition is made by a doctor licensed in your province.
Prescription delivery is often free through partner pharmacies, or may carry a small shipping fee.
Always check:
- Is the doctor licensed in your province?
- Will they provide a valid lab requisition accepted by local labs?
- Do they offer e-prescriptions and pharmacy delivery?
