[QUOTE="Reason, post: 108057, member: 17508"] I have my first follow-up consult with Defy and the labs they've requested are double the initial cost projection of $250, to about $500 so I'm looking for help figuring out my options. I've Kaiser in NorCal and they won't cover labs from outside network physicians. My primary didn't want to even do a physical for my first Defy consult after she learned I was investigating TRT, so I highly doubt she will be open to prescribing the labs herself. I don't want to lie to her and I doubt if I switched physicians that any other Kaiser doctor would be different. Defy wants: CMP-14, CBC, Lipid Panel, PSA, SHBG, Test F/T, E2 Sen, DHEA-S, TSH, FT3/FT4, DHT, Prolactin, and Ferritin Which seems totally fine and I agree with their request. I checked Discountlabs.com and their prices aren't much better: $493 if I pick the best bundle possible and add a few extra individual tests. I'm a college professor in California (expensive), so I don't have all the money in the world. Any advice? [/QUOTE]
