I'm looking on getting some blood work before my next run earl next year, and I wanted to see what I need to do to get it done at say Labcorp. Do I need a dr referral? I tried getting a complete blood panel with my dr a couple months back and my dr told me if I wasn't feeling bad or experiencing low test she wouldn't test for it. She also said it would be very expensive if they tested me. SoI'm kinda thinking I just need to go to her and get a referral to a labcorp to get my bloods done... Is this the approach I need to take?

PrivateMDlabs is a great service but I believe they use Quest diagnostics rather than labcorp. Its cheap... 60 bucks for a full hormone panel.

Lab corp is as easy as selecting the test you want done then you pick the location and set the time and date.
Show up they pull blood and your out the door. 2-3 days later you can see and print your results.
Around 90 with coupon or so for a complete bloods that cover just about everything needed. Labcorp is how I get bloods done and its nice because they have one in my hometown. Quick, cheap, and easy.

Yes that's the site to use but labcorp still runs the bloods.
Check this LINK (http://m1e.net/c?136926659-n.0cH//i8NZPA%408180035-cFoYGE2qhnEh6) out for more info and a coupon code.

What do most insurances cover?

I don't have insurance and this is probably the only way a healthy person can get all these specific bloods done. Docs usually only run them when they are needed.

Where do I go to get it done, and does that price include getting the liver values checked?

Select female hormone panel. That's the cheap one. When you select it you will get a list of everything included. You can add extra if you like or go with a completely different package if your looking for something specific but if you getting labs done because your on a cycle than the female panel should suffice.

Go threw the steps and they'll give you a list of local labcorps.

So then the female test, and a ALT/SGPT test (if using a methyl) would be the best bet? I just wanna cover all bases here.

The female hormone panel includes a Comprehensive metabolic profile, which tests ALT/AST
