Need to find a US Lab close to me, any ideas?

[ratbag]

I live in Canada but I'm close to the USA border near NY 1219 zip code. There used to be a Labcorp in Burlington VT but it's now closed. Does anyone know what my best option is? I used to go to the local hospital here in Montreal but they changed the way they do labs... they won't do a full Iron panel unless it ordered from a haematologist. My endocrinologist ordered it but they only did ferritin because of this. Canada also doesn't recognize the RT3 lab test... it doesn't exist here. Thanks in advance

ratbag - A Zip code is 7 digit's long, using that you could go to the Labcorp website and determine what is closest one to the 7-digit zipcode

Or the Quest page will let you use the zip for locations.

I live in Ontario and regularly cross the border for private labwork. Once you find a location, as Tom and Vince suggested, the process is straightforward. All the best.

Ok thanks for the quick replies... I meant to write zip 12919 in NY

So Discount Labs uses Labcorp and that's over 3 hrs from me. Quest diagnostics however states they have something in Plattsburgh. Does quest require a Rx? Plattsburgh is only an hour from here.

I drive to PA, Erie, from Toronto rhe state of Any prohibits self-testing. Call the lab in NY as LabCorp turned away Discountedlabs.com order. Not their fault, it is a state law.

sorry coastwatcher I don't understand what you said?

sorry coastwatcher I don't understand what you said?

Sorry. Let me try again. I drive from Toronto to Erie, PA because the state of NY does not permit any self-testing - from any lab. I would call the particular testing centre, if you're going to try and obtain services in NY, and see what they tell you. Labs located in smaller towns may be a bit more accommodating. But call - don't drive and wind up disappointed.

Burlington, Vermont. About one hour past Plattsburgh and has a LabCorp location.

Burlington VT Labcorp is closed as mentioned earlier

How do I find the prices at quest diagnostics or Labcorp? I seem to remember seeing them in the past.

 

[CoastWatcher]

Typically, you don't order your test through either LabCorp or Quest. Go to Discountedlabs.com - that is Nelson's self-testing service that partners with LabCorp. If it's Quest you're looking at, there are other self-testing operations that team with them.

I had to use Quest diagnostics as they have a place in St Alban's VT which is close to me. So I found this lab below:

Great pricing. Sorry Nelson I couldn't use Discountedlabs they only work with labcorp and that's not within range for me. Thanks for everyone's help figuring this out.

Anyone know which estradiol test I should get from Quest Diagnostics? Seems there are a few to choose from. I'm just not familiar with quest. Thanks

look for 30289 or anything Sensitive or Ultra Sensitive Estradiol and "LC/MS/MS"
