What are the policies for ordering lab tests for minors on Goodlabs?
Goodlabs has specific policies regarding the ordering and scheduling of lab tests for minors. Below is a comprehensive overview of these policies:
Age Restrictions
Minors under 13 years old: Goodlabs does not support ordering or scheduling lab tests for individuals under the age of 13. This includes scenarios where a parent or guardian attempts to use their account to place an order for a child under 13.
Minors aged 13–17 years old: While Goodlabs does not currently support lab test orders for this age group, plans are in place to enable this functionality in the future.
Adults only: Accounts and orders must be created exclusively for the individual adult being tested. Attempting to bypass these restrictions, such as by altering a minor’s birth year, is strictly prohibited.
Consequences of Policy Violations
Violating Goodlabs' policies, such as attempting to bypass age restrictions, is a breach of the Terms of Service. This can result in account cancellation and other penalties. Goodlabs takes these violations seriously to ensure compliance with legal and ethical standards.
Future Support Plans for Minors Aged 13–17
Goodlabs is actively working on expanding its services to support lab test orders for minors aged 13–17. While this functionality is not yet available, updates will be provided as these plans progress.
By adhering to these policies, Goodlabs ensures a safe and compliant environment for all users. For further updates or questions, please refer to the Goodlabs Help Center.
