Question on bloodwork cost

[Ryan624]

Without insurance is it typically cheaper to use private md labs for bloodwork? Or family dr ? And Which blood tests should i run when trying to get to the source of low testosterone? Ive had low test levels since i was young and want to see if i can fix the problem before i go down the trt road. Im 29 years old and test levels are around 300 for the most part

does anyone know from experience whether it is cheaper to order bloodwork online or through a dr. when you do not have insurance?

Good question. I'm new and would like to know the answer to that one myself. I'm getting closer to my first cycle but haven't really put thought into bloodwork yet. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Ordering yourself will be far cheaper than going directly through a Labcorp (or similar) with a doctors script. Discounted labs .com and private md labs are two that offer such services. An example would be a sensitive estrogen assay is around $200 directly through Labcorp via a doc. Doing it yourself through Discounted Labs is around $30 from memory. Do some homework and you can save a ton.
