That really shouldn't matter. I just got tested for 2 things that weren't in the "system"; the doctor just writes in the tests by hand and the lab sends them out to be done elsewhere. It takes a few extra days to get results.

It's possible your PCP had some other reason for not feeling the longer test was necesary/warranted(?)
