[QUOTE="Jason Sypolt, post: 168584, member: 13328"] We use LabCorp almost exclusively because they have the best combination of the most convenient locations in the most states and the lowest costs which we can pass on to patients. When it comes to labs, you have some options: 1. Order through Defy and you will be emailed a LabCorp requisition order. You paid our low price and then you can go to any LabCorp Patient Service Center to get the specimen collected. We get the results when they are available and send you a copy. 2. Use your insurance. This is a great option IF your insurance will cover routine labs. There is risk if you are not 100% certain however, and you could be left with a huge lab bill if they deny coverage for some reason. We have you sign an insurance waiver stating that you accept the cost of labs if your insurance refuses coverage for some reason so that you understand this. We send you a prescription for the labs and you take it anywhere that you want. It's up to you to find and go somewhere in network. Send us the lab results when you get them (since it is not through our LabCorp account, it's outside of our system). 3. Bring your recent labs. This happens mostly for new patients. We will accept lab results no older than 90 days if they are equivalent to the labs that we require. Options 2 and 3 can be from any lab, not just LabCorp. They need to be from 90 days ago or less, equivalent to our required labs, and on an official lab results document. I have personally done the first 2 options. My insurance used to not only cover labs but I lived about 3 blocks from a small local hospital in network so I could walk there, get the collection, and walk back home in like 30 minutes for free. Couldn't beat that. Since I work at Defy and moved to Tampa, I just get a lab draw in the clinic easily, and the prices for the labs really are low. If your insurance doesn't cover them - and a lot won't, you will have a tough time finding lower prices. Our price for a CMP-14 is $15, and I used to see in my EOB when I lived in OH and used insurance that the local hospital would bill my insurance $232 for that same test. Insanity. [/QUOTE]
