I am looking to have a full blood work done. It’s been years since I’ve had health insurance and have recently lost 100 pounds and now I have insurance and feel I should get a full physical.
With that said what’s the best place usually to go for full blood work? Just my regular doctor? Thanks.

You fill out the requisition papers online (you can remain anonymous if you’d like), go in to a local Labcorp for the tests and they email you the results. I got mine within 4 days.
I think a CBC/Lipid/T, FT/E2, etc panel cost me around $145 with the %15 coupon they have on their site.
Here’s a neat trick. Depending on what tests you want, look at the panal entitled “Hormone panel for females” It may contain all the tests you want if you’re looking for a general overview and it’s only $50 versus $155 for the “Hormone panel for males” It doesn’t affect the values of your test results; when you go to Labcorp you put in all your correct info. It’s an easy way to save $100, provided of course, that it includes everything you’re looking for.
