We are proud to partner with IDEXX for both in-house and send out tests.

This integration offers clinics the ability to integrate directly to their IDEXX account for submitting in-house and send out labs and automatically uploading the results into the appointment records. Saving time, decreasing errors, and giving your staff direct access to results are just a few benefits of this integration.

HQ only integrates with IDEXX for tests. We do not integrate with other testing companies. You can order tests and view test results from within Clinic HQ.

In order to utilize the IDEXX integration, please follow the steps for setup from this chapter IDEXX Setup.
