Bloodwork In States Where LabMD & PrivateMDLabs Do Not Offer Services

[BigDave]

Hello All, Both LabMD & PrivateMDLabs have a number of states listed where they do not offer service. I called them and was informed online bloodwork orders are actually restricted by law in these states. I asked about setting up an appointment in a bordering state where it was allowed, & was informed that I would be asked for ID and if I was from a state where it was not allowed the lab would not take the sample. Has anyone else run into this problem? Anyone have any luck bypassing this restriction or know of a vendor that does not have these rules? Going to my PCP is not an option for me. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks to all

what I do is pay the company by cash bank deposit, give an address in state where i'll be tested, and bring passport for ID to the lab (never been asked for it)

Thanks @forzudo
So to confirm, since youre not paying w/ credit card they don't have your billing address? The address you are giving in state is "embellished"? Do they email results so they won't be sent to the address? If they ask for passport I assume you would just say you moved? May I ask which vendor you have done this with successfully? Thanks for the response.

I've never been asked for ID when I go for blood tests

Thanks guys. I appreciate the insight. Only my state would make it illegal to get bloodwork done. I need to move!

correct, I give an address where I could receive mail but that doesn't even matter, they never mail anything. strictly email. and the passport doesn't show a street address so there's nothing to give away that I live in the nanny state next door. I use privatemdlabs and go to Labcorp for the draw, super easy process. All the payment takes is 5 mins at a bank of america and a phone call to the company to give them the deposit info.

Thanks @forzudo! Looks like I can return the bra I bought... LOL.
Kidding... Kinda

Mdlabtests allows "wellness testing" in all states. The selection is limited but i believe you can test testosterone but not estradiol.
