Order Blood Tests Yourself
DirectLabs has been in business for more than 20 years and I have been associated with this company as a medical advisor from 2004 through 2014. If you have a high deductible or are part of a medical HealthShare program, ordering your lab tests through Direct Labs can save you hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars.
Through our arrangement with DirectLabs, routine lab testing and vaccine titer testing is available directly to you. DirectLabs is a direct-to-consumer testing company, making many routine health tests available at a discount and without your doctor’s order.
The advantages are:
-
For patients that have a very high insurance deductible and most test are paid for out of pocket.
-
For patients who do not have a physician.
-
For patients that want more information about their health but do not want the time, expense and, in the case of vaccine titers, the potential struggle with a physician to get the tests you want.
-
For patients who want the results to be private.
-
If you are paying for your test, ordering through DirectLabs will be 30-70% less than the money you would spend out-of-pocket for the same tests.

Measles (listed as rubeola)
