Important Notice to Clients with Financial Services' Accounts
Effective immediately, the Department of Finance automatically sends account balances which are 90 days overdue to Service Nova Scotia's collections agents. Laboratory Services has no control over this action.

If you have received a collection notice and would like to pay the overdue amount as well as any current charges, please remit your payment, payable to the Minister of Finance. Be sure to reference the letter number from Service Nova Scotia, the amount overdue and your account number, so it will be credited properly and put your account back in good standing.

Thank you for your cooperation.
