[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 220608, member: 18023"] I have often done this, the only disappointing aspect of this is you need Life Extension to send you the labcorp report. Labcorp does not have your test results on the labcorp portal. Perhaps it's something to do with privacy, not really sure about the reason. If a doctor orders the test and they have a lab either onsite or have a strong preference, I go with that choice because it's easier for me, and the doc to get and review your results. [B]If you use medicare, an important thing to be aware of: [/B] Form CMS-R-131 The Advance Beneficiary Notice of Noncoverage (ABN) Basically, if you use medicare, I always sign to DENY the blood test if medicare is not going to pay. The one time I signed this to allow the blood test, I got charge $180 for a blood test I could have ordered myself for $25. Also, the doc who orders the blood test better code it correctly, or medicare will deny. (There is probably a similar situation with private insurance). Some of the more "exotic" tests such as NMR LipoProfile or Glucose Tolerance Test with Insulin (8 specimens) Blood Test are difficult in most situations for a doctor to justify to insurance and difficult to get a doctor to order those tests. And if they do order and you have to pay (insurance denies), you will get a crazy high bill. [/QUOTE]
