Need Medical Blood Tests? No Referral Necessary

Private MD Labs provides confidential laboratory testing and personal medical information direct to the public. Their model allows you to take charge of your own health and assists you in the prevention and early detection of disease.  You do not need a physician’s referral to use them, nor are you required to see your doctor first.
You simply request the test you need on their website and pay directly with a credit card. No insurance company is involved to unnecessarily drive up costs either. Some tests can even be cheaper. All results are kept private and not sent to your doctor or department of health unless required by law such as communicable diseases.
 
You can enter your zip code to find the nearest lab. (Due to state laws, they cannot provide services in NY, NJ, MA, MD and RI.)
 
According to their site, "Ordering a test from Private MD Lab Services is safe, secure, confidential and best of all, an easy process." 

The basic steps are simple:
  • Choose the test(s) to be ordered
  • Select your lab location
  • Pay online
  • Create your personal account to access your requisition (and results)
  • Print your requisition for testing and take it to the lab location you selected for specimen collection
  • Access your results online and share them with your personal physician (if desired).
Remember,  Private MD Lab Services are not intended to be a substitute for consultation with a physician or other appropriate health care provider, or annual physical examination.
