Hippaa sucks, but these private labs are private.... unless you test positive for hepatitis

OK. It is still unclear to me whether HIPAA protects someone's health information, or makes it more accessible to insurance companies and the like.
Yes hipaa is relevant to this.Not sure what you're talking about with individual customer surveillance my man. Algorithms rule the day. In today's world, computers do the work (for no further marginal cost). if certain red flags are raised, then certain actions may be taken. And my question pertained to the legality of insurance companies accessing labs obtained under ones name, not whether insurance companies would break the law or pay bribes to access illegal information.HIPAA has nothing whatsoever to do with this.
How much access do you think insurance companies have to your individually paid for cash transactions? How much money do you think it would be worth them spending on you as an individual to :
A. Find out which insurance company some guy getting a blood test is worth (and then discarding the effort if it wasn't them).
B. Paying bribes or buying info illegally to find out you do steroids so they can forgo your premiums right now when you haven't made a claim.
Cost/benefit analysis applies to damn near everything.
Insurance companies rely on actuary tables and other statistical aggregates because individual customer surveillance is wildly cost ineffective.

If you are on cycle already looks like at least you are going tone able to get the TT initial number.
Ho shit your are
In Vancouver never mind .
I hope you guys have something like privatemedlabs over there .
I think Is just only for USA. Unless you have a buddy in USA that wold let you use his adress .Does this website work for Canadians ?
I would start your own thread in the lab testing, this would be useful information and the guys that usually look at these could give you solid information. I didn't read your whole post too long for me
I live in MA but I'm right next to the state line with NH. I see a lab corp like 10 minutes from my house in NH. Could I use private MD labs and get my tests done in NH?
I'm going to call Private MD labs today and Lab Corp and then I'll post what I find out.I don't see why not. Even most health insurance will cover you seeing a doctor out of state. And this doesn't use insurance, so I don't see an issue. You could easily call and ask lab corp--tell them you're in MA, but they are the closest lab to you. I can't imagine that an out of state license would matter. They don't ask any questions

It's all done by email. Which makes things so much easier. Thanks for that information though.Since they cannot sell to some states, you could list your address as General Delivery at a post office in NH. If private MD actually needs to send you something by mail, you can pick it up at on your way to the lab. If they do everything by email, then there no need to visit the post office, just use it as an address. 26 General Delivery Addresses | Postal Explorer
So there isnt a labcorp in my state, and im on a college campus and the clinic on campus said I would need a physicians order, is that what this is and therefore they would take it and draw my bloods for me?
