Only Lab Tests folder: There may be times when you are asked to get just a couple of diagnostic test done, for instance, many companies these days ask their employees to do a few such diagnostic tests as “medical tests.” If you only want to store all the lab/diagnostic in a separate folder (without details about the doctor’s visit/ hospitalization/health check-up), then click on the “Only lab tests” folder. This folder allows you to store only diagnostic/lab tests in a separate folder.
