​
Consents

When you order a lab test through our API, you may have to collect consents from the patient and forward them to us. The following consents may include:
  • hipaa-authorization.
  • terms-of-use.
  • telehealth-informed-consent.

​
Physician

You can use Junction’s physician network, provide your own ordering physician, or separate the ordering and follow-up physician responsibilities. When you create an order, you can provide a physician when your workflow uses your own ordering physician. See Order and Follow-up Physician for the supported physician models and responsibilities.

​
Patient name validation

Patient names must conform to a specific regex pattern due to lab restrictions. This validation applies to all name fields including first_name and last_name. Regex Pattern:
Validation Rules:
  • Must start with an alphanumeric character (not space, hyphen, or punctuation)
  • Only allows letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), hyphens (-), periods (.), commas (,), apostrophes (’)
  • Spaces are only allowed between words
  • Cannot start or end with a space
  • Cannot have consecutive spaces
Valid Name Examples:
  • John
  • Mary-Jane
  • O'Connor
  • Dr. Smith
  • Jean-Pierre
Invalid Name Examples:
  • John (starts with space)
  • John (ends with space)
  • -John (starts with hyphen)
  • John@Smith (contains @)
  • José (contains accented character)

Minors

Ordering for minors (under 18 years old) requires a specific configuration, which you can request from your Junction Customer Success Manager. Once enabled, you are able to order for a minor patient by providing information regarding the medical proxy. This information can be supplied at ordering time, or at any time by updating the user demographics.
