The filter paper submission process prevents an interruption in metabolic medication and/or metabolic formula prescriptions for you or your child.
Filter paper results help the Clinic to provide you with good clinical care. Please contact the Department of Human Genetics if you need filter paper supplies, prescription refills or metabolic formula by calling 404-778-8570. Select option 3 to speak with a member of our care team.
Updated: March 2019:
Important:
- NEW FP Schedule: FPs now need to be received by Tuesday at 5 pm to be included on the weekly Wednesday run. If no issues/delays by the lab, the results will be reported to Emory staff on Thursday.
- If you are concerned about a filter paper being included in the weekly run, we recommend contacting the lab on Tuesday to ensure the sample has been received and all documentation is in order to initiate processing.
- A lab requisition form must always be submitted with a filter paper to prevent a delay in reporting results or a test cancellation. Please refer below on what information needs to be included to prevent delays or test cancellations.
- Food records are emailed (preferred) or mailed to the clinic and/or MNT4P dietitian(s) on Emory campus (Woodruff). NOT mailed with the filter paper.
- Review your FP packet before your clinic visit since this is the best time to request more supplies.
- Not following the FP schedule that was provided to you, may interrupt prescriptions for medical food (formula) and/or metabolic medication.
- Metabolic dietitians no longer check the status of FPs at Emory Genetics Lab (EGL). For any questions regarding the status of a FP result, please contact EGL Client Services directly. Representatives can be reached by calling the following numbers or by email.
