    Blood Work Billing

    To make a long confusing story short, I am interested in getting blood work done without a prescription. Here is my bill from LabCorp via Blue Cross......for testosterone , free testosterone, and PSA (prostate)
    Do you guys really pay 500 bucks for tests? Is it against the rules to recommend the best economical labs?

    no they are way overcharging your insurance. its about $80 for both Free and Total Testosterone and $60 for estradiol sensitive after 10% off code at Personal Labs .com

    Retail LabCorp prices are high, so are Quest. What your bill shows actually reflects a discount off of retail for those two test. You also had one of the more expensive testosterone test done. Testosterone Free and Weakly Bound will always cost more than Testosterone Free and Total Serum.

    If paying for it yourself, use a private lab and search up discount codes next time.

    I looked up Personalabs.com like Lifted1 suggested, it sounds really good. Thanks, man.
    Is it Kosher to discuss which online sites the big-boys use? This is 100% legal, ...right? I'm guessing some sites are better than others. ??

    If referring to BW labs then yes. If referring to AAS then there's a forum for that.

    I started at my Urologist, and he was happy to give me tests for:
    Albumin
    Testosterone , Total
    Estradiol
    Sex Hormone Binding Globulin
    Prolactin, Serum
    LH, Serum
    FSH, Serum
    Testosterone, Free
    Testosterone, Bioavailable
    DHEA, Unconjugated
    Androstenedione, Serum
    Dihydrotestoterone
    PSA

    You have to admit you're having ED issues.
    Doctors don't think lifting weights has anything to do with health, but these tests give you a good baseline where you're at, I would say.

    I am mostly interested in getting estradiol numbers, I cannot figure out if they fluctuate through the days of the week like testosterone does.

    Wow, this is quite inexpensive. I'm starting my blast in a few weeks and this will be the perfect time to get E2, Test levels and IGF-1 (taking HGH) at the same time for short money.
