MyVisit™ is a convenient way to collect medical samples or get cardiac monitoring set up, in the comfort of your home or any location of your choice, at a date and time that fits your schedule.

Booking an appointment for yourself or a loved one is easy with our online portal; all you need to get started is a test requisition.

A MyVisit™ appointment fee is $85 per person and covers the cost of the lab technician visiting you. Most tests are covered by provincial health care plans. Any tests prescribed by your healthcare provider that are not covered by your provincial health care plan, will incur an additional charge and LifeLabs^® will contact you directly to detail such costs.

Cardiac monitoring requires two service visits: first for device connection, then a follow-up for removal.

All service and non-OHIP test fees can be paid through our online portal prior to the appointment. We accept Visa and Mastercard and will confirm payment via email or SMS to the email address/phone number associated to your account.

There is no charge for cancellations made more than 24 hours before the appointment time.

The full MyVisit™ service fee will be billed for cancellations made less than 24 hours before the appointment, or if the patient is not present for the appointment, however, all pre-paid non-OHIP test fees will be fully refunded.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please let us know more than 24 hours before your appointment by signing into the MyVisit™ booking portal and going to the Appointments page to reschedule or cancel your visit(s).

MyVisit™ currently offers sample collections for most blood, urine and fecal laboratory tests, ECG, and Holter monitoring.

We will contact you if any requested tests are not offered through MyVisit™. You can also email MyVisit@lifelabs.com to confirm test availability before scheduling an appointment.
