Tests Without a Doctor’s Order
Take control of your health by ordering your own laboratory tests.
Except for pregnancy tests, Direct Access Testing is for blood tests. Some tests check on several different elements in your blood at the same time. Other blood tests look for very specific elements in your blood.
Blood tests help doctors diagnose health issues, but blood test results aren’t diagnoses. An abnormal blood test result may not mean that you have a serious medical condition.
