I’m in NY where we outcuck everyone besides California. I was honest with my endocrinologist and she’s aware of everything I do. In my opinion it’s better this way.

States that don't allow you to self-requisition blood tests? What do y'all who live in those shitholes do??? lol

I'm in NJ, order them on Private MD labs and drive over to PA to quest and have them drawn. Have done it this way for 4 seperate occasions over past year most recently 2 weeks ago.

I did this exactly and she asked for my ID and the front desk lady said I my id.is.ojt.of state and tuned me away
. Maybe I'll try again and call another lab
It's still more profit for the medical industry if you can't order your own bloodwork, since it requires multiple doctor visits, and they can make further recommendations based on the results. They can also charge whatever the hell they want, and don't have to compete with labs that allow the patient to shop around.
They also charge insurance companies astronomical prices, and the insurance companies adjust payments and premiums acordingly.
Even with socialist medicine, the medical industry charges whatever the fuck they want, and the government simply pays, then adjusts taxes accordingly.
The greatest thing that can possibly happen for the individual is a free market. The government should be minimally involved in any market, including the medical industry. That way, hospitals are forced to compete, and unaffordable products are quite simply impossible.
Just google Direct Access Testing "State by State" or "State List" and see what you can find. I can only find one, this one, which I know for a fact has a couple inaccuracies, but it is the best I have ever found.
I think the easiest way is to go to a Quest or whatever lab service and try to buy a test for your state. If it allows you, then you are good to go. If not, then your state sucks and you should move to a new state! lol
That's fucked up! Definitely try another lab. Just explain that this is the closest draw location to you, or say you are in this state/city for business for the day and figured you swing by and get the test done here. That might ease their minds if they ask questions. Maybe wear a tucked in polo and some nice pants so you look somewhat professional.

I will try another lab.. it makes no sense. Why I can't get vloodwork in this sfate.. why can't I monitor my own health markers? If.you.think about it.. it really is my right no? And I pay a pretty pennies pennies a full panel.. shit like this I will never understand.. land.of the free "but"...
Some of those labs are like that and there's some very persnickety people at some locations.

In NY, had to go through an online clinic for $175.
Persnickety: nice word! I always enjoy seeing people use uncommon words in their interactions. Gives me hope that our language isn't devolving into a bunch of mumbles and memes
Yeah it's some fucking BS, I'm sorry you have to go through that! that's a massive drive!! Open Access Testing should be allowed nation wide as a federal law. All people have access to get whatever tests they want, at their discretion, if they are paying out of pocket.
Yeah my TRT clinic is all virtual so when I first started he had to write me a prescription to get my bloods drawn in this cuck-ass state. Emailed it to me and I printed it out and took it to my local hospital where they do bloodwork. You would think there would be an online service where you could pay to have a doc Rx the bloodwork for you like this? Might be a bit on the shady side but it sure beats the fucking drive I have to take.
This would be a great thing to have at the federal level and I would not mind paying out of pocket for such tests if it ensures being discreet. Maybe lobby your congressperson for this?
Would be nice if sites like PrivateMDLabs, LabsMD, etc. have a workaround where they contract with doctors licensed in your state (ones that ban people from ordering their own bloodwork) to sign off and order your bloodwork for you in order to satisfy the letter and spirit of the law in such state.

That would be nice, but the point is the government has no right to keep me from finding out what’s in my own fucking blood in the first place.
Obviously I’m not the only dude in NY running gear, highly doubt every one is driving all the way to PA to get bloods done. Many probably just skip it and manage E2 based on sides only. Shit I know what my E2 is at with 200mg/week test c so for 350mg/400mg per week test c/primo e plus proviron I might just do the same if anything it’s probably too low.
Fuck NY
I have been hearing a lot of people are fixing to move out of that state for a variety of reasons.

I don't get that at all...
I live in a country with free healthcare and we can requisite one comprehensive blood test a year, sometimes more depending on the doc.
Other than that you are free to go and have your shit tested whenever you want out of pocket. Not really cheap without a presecription (around 80€ for the regular blood's - TT, FT, E2, FSH, LH, Hemogram and lipid profile) but you can still do it whenever you want.
Can someone explain to me the logic behind those bans?

There is no fucking logic, and those in gov’t calling the shots on that are able to get away with it because frankly the average American is fat, out of shape, and too stupid to give a fuck about their blood work. Ironically the only ones who want their own blood work to make sure everything is in check are the ones on gear, imagine that.
