Order Your Own TSH and Other Thyroid Blood Tests, Without A Doctor's Visit
No doctor's appointment or prescription needed, and no expensive doctor's office markup!
Through a relationship with MyMedLab, you can now order your own thyroid, autoimmune and hormonal lab tests. There is no need for a doctor's visit or appointment in order to get your testing done.
The testing is provided by LabCorp, a nationwide network of medical testing laboratories, and the same exact provider used by many physicians and hospitals across the U.S.
Through MyMedLab, you can get these tests at 50% to 80% less than if you paid direct -- and costs are often far less than your doctor's marked up prices, even after insurance deductibles!
When you order your blood tests through MyMedLab:
- You are getting the same tests that, up until now, were only available to doctors
- Local sample collection at over 2000 convenient locations nationwide, and no appointment is necessary
- Your results are completely confidential, and never become part of your medical record unless you provide them to your insurer
- You have access to MyMedLab's free Personal Health Record (PHR), to keep records of all your test results, and track and monitor changes in health over time.
(Note: patient-ordered testing is not available in all states.)
Truly the best value is to order your MyMedLab tests online. But you can order by phone, at slightly higher test costs -- at 1-888-MYMEDLAB (888-696-3352).
I've worked with MyMedLab to put together sets of various tests, known as profiles, that can help you get a jumpstart on living well. In conjunction with a great doctor (my Thyroid Top Doctors Directory can help you find a great practitioner), these tests can be a smart, empowered part of your strategy to get proper diagnosis and treatment.
