Hi,
I am on TRT and have to do labs every 6 months for my med office to continue to have prescribed T injections.
In parallel I am planning to add 2 months cycle that would/should be invisible for my med office.
Let’s say if I have to draw blood for my med office in January and June, I would do cycles Feb-March + July-Aug
I want to monitor my blood during and right after cycle, but I don’t want my med office to see labs (because my T will be too high)
Question - how do you order and where those labs? I called local lab and they told me they need doctors prescription to do blood work… I said I will pay cash, they told me it doesn’t matter…
which doesn’t make sense to me.
So I am a bit lost… How others monitor their blood/hormones without asking their med offices to prescribe it?
Google it. Discountedlabs.com is one site that offers them. They basically have a doc order whatever tests you want done from labcorp or whoever and doesn’t use insurance to pay for it
There are a few others. I’ve found the prices vary quite a bit between sources depending on what you’re getting. I think healthlabs is the other one I’ve used
Private MD is the cheapest, because they have had the contract with Lab Corp so long. They sell a lot of tests for less than what docs can order the test through Lab Corp for.
Also there is a glitch, you can pick the female hormone panel for 69.99 and right before checkout mark male for you
I can’t speak to the ripping off part as I’m inclined to agree, but this first part is not true. I’ve done it myself. With zero script. Walked in, made an online profile selecting which tests I wanted (typical T tests) and proceeded to empty my wallet then my veins.
See posts above. Might just be by state. If I was going to go to all the trouble to lie on the internet it would be a heck of a lot cooler story than this.
