    Blood Work ?

    Is there anywhere you can go and get blood work done without having to set up a doctors appointment and getting a physician to order it?

    Co-pay so your going through your insurance then. I personally am self employed and have crap insurance. So I pay for everything out of pocket. I wish I had a $15 copay. I have a $3000.00 deductable 80/20 split and they won't even pay for doctors visits. Damn my arse hurts just thinking about the reaming I get from my insurance co.

    never used them, but hear good things. Just select the test you want online, fill out the forms, take the forms to a lab, they draw your blood and your results are usually available within 24 hours online
