DirectLabs

Post by garina »

Has anyone ordered lab tests through DirectLabs or Lab Tests Online? Tests such as CMP, Lipid, etc. I did initially go through EnteroLab when I first was diagnosed with MC, but I did check with DirectLabs and noted that they have special monthly pricing on certain tests.

I understand you have to go through a local lab such as Quest and I don't know if there is a special draw fee.

Just wondering if this is worthwhile ... pricing seems reasonable.

Would appreciate your thoughts.

I haven't used DirectLabs but have used MyMedLabs. I check lipids and thyroid . If you go through the StopTheThyroidMadness site they have special pricing, as does DirectLabs. Also, usually around this time of year they offer a 10% discount. It can be bought when offered and used at a later date. All fees have been included in the price I paid. Deb

Thanks Deb, for the lab information. I looked up MyMedLabs, and it seems like a good one. I will probably be ordering from them ... costs seem comparative.

I appreciate the help.

I've used Direct Labs and Labcorp in the past. They were both easy to use I found, with results given a few days after visiting their facility.
