getting blood analysis

**rake922** · 07-29-2006, 11:56 PM

I’ve seen people recommend to others that getting blood work done before, during, and after a cycle is ideal. However in the U.S. does insurance cover this???

If you’re getting analysis of your blood done three times do you ever get questioned by the hospital staff, “Why are you requesting this”

If so are you honest about the reason?

I was JUST thinking about this because I'm getting insurance finally after being uninsured for about a year. I was wondering if insurance covered bloodwork which I imagine it would. Go to your "family" doctor and explain them the situation. If that doesn't work maybe a regular hospital will do it. When I was on accutane the bloodwork was covered by insurance. It was a pain getting that done every month. Better safe than sorry.

There is many ways to go about this one of which is to have them done yourself using a website that offers blood work... it is pretty simple you pay for the test online and they send you the labslip you call a lab in your area on there list or they will and set up a time to have your blood drawn... results are posted withing 48 hours and emailed to you... if needed a hard copy is also mailed to you... average cost is $89.00 for a Comprehensive Wellness Profile... I have several that do this on a regular basis... no hassle and no questions

Yes some not all insurances cover bloodwork.... depends on the individual insurance company...

Never have had any of my guys nor myself questioned by any medical staff I/they always have a lab slip from the Doc or direct labs.

Never been asked but if I was I would tell them it was requested by my Doc.

rake922 are you doing a survey or research paper. This is the 3rd or 4th personal question or poll you have posted.
