A patient test can be closed for a variety of reasons.  The purpose of closing a test is to cancel it from being completed.  A test that has been performed and billed, cannot be closed.  When a test is closed a reason must be indicated.

• Access the patient test details.
• Click on “Close Test”.
• Select the appropriate reason code and click “Save”.
• Once closed the patient test can always be reopened. To reopen, click on the “Reopen” icon in the test details.  Important:  do not reopen a patient test where the PWO has expired.  Instead a new test must be created.
