A few questions (these are closely related enough that they should be grouped): 1) How many online medical/testing companies test for STDs without a doctor's visit? 2) How long does it take to get results from these online companies? 3) How much does it cost (to the company) to send out samples to a lab and get results back? (not the price to the consumer, rather the pricing before markup) |

When you said getting test for STD without doctor's order, this is call direct access testing. Direct access testing (DAT), also known as "direct-to-consumer" or "patient-authorized" testing, allow patient to order, pay and received results for lab tests that they ordered. Tests that are offer are the same medically accepted lab tests ordered by physicians. Most laboratories that provide DAT accept orders online, so customers can order and pay online, print out the request and take it to a drawing station to have their blood drawn, some laboratories will even send phlebotomist to customers? home or office to perform phlebotomy. As of March 2003, DAT is allowed in 34 states and territories of the 34 states that allow DAT, 20 states have no limits regarding DAT, while 14 states have limitation on what DAT can provide. The following sites offer DAT http://www.healthcheckusa.com/ http://www.questdiagnostics.com/patient/index.html#questest Hope this help. |
