Blood Tests thru insurance
ad
How do you go about getting blood tests thru insurance without telling your doctor. I feel uncomfortable telling my doctor I want to do a cycle and want to monitor my levels. He's a little asian guy that doesn't believe in drugs. He's always the natural approach. He is a great doc otherwise. I want to go to a lab and say test my test lol

Actually the website says you can do an anonymous order and pay by money order. What tests would be beneficial?
It depends...if using privatelabmd, people generally use the female hormone panels since it's cheap ~$48 or so and because it covers Estradiol (to make sure gyno in check/ai working), Testosterone (check gear is working if using test), Blood count tests (indicates blood pressure issues, maybe increased supplemenation). Also FSH/LH values - post cycle. I think those are the minimum. If you aren't doing 19nor (deca/npp/tren) you don't need to check progesterone/prolactin. If you are, you should check these levels to make sure they're in check and your caber/prami/bromo whatever is doing the job. This is usually extra. Lipid tests to check for cholesterol HDL/LDL values...usually extra. Liver function if you're using orals...this is usually extra. Can't think of anything else...if you're using directlabs, look for similar basic female hormone tests first. At least, once a year, it would be good to have something more comprehensive, u could go to the doc for when off cycle.
Thanks. I don't want to risk losing the money based on a false address. I wish I could just ask the doc without him asking questions. Hey doc test my testosterone and estrogen now in 6 weeks and again in 18 weeks or whenever. Doesn't sound odd right? I lol
Yea, why take a chance and have this on your medical record and possibly having it used against you. People have done this...using a friends address, say like PA if you're in NY, as a workaround. Other option might be to check directlabs.
I can neither confirm or deny but yes
I gotta buddy here who was in that situation. I think he ended up using a friends address when ordering tests and then went to a lab located Within the state ...they didn't check ID just the requisition. Anyway PM me if want...I'll either get the info from the horses mouth or connect u.
Not available in my area. Any other options?
U in NY, NJ,or MA? Don't say which area if u are...just indicate ur in one o those states.
Never mind that...If I have my druthers it would be to keep this on the down low as much as possible. Anonymous blood tests aren't expensive as previously stated.
Anonblood tests are not that expensive
privatemdlabs.com, get the female hormone pane, it's less expensive.
