Urine iodide. You can check the drop down menu for labs close to you,
as you did not state where you are. Most larger reference labs, such
as Quest provide couriers to pick up samples, or appropriate
packaging for mailing.

ARUP contact information

ARUP fails to mention anything about insurance, so you will need to
contact them during business hours.
Duke University Medical Center
==============================
Consider too, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC. (They have
changed their name since I was there, and I?m not sure why they chose
the mnemonic they did!) If they do not perform urine iodine or iodide,
they will know where to send it!
DUH Laboratories DUHS Clinical Laboratories
Box 2712 4425 Ben Franklin Blvd
Durham, NC 27710 Durham, NC 27704
Phone: (919) 684-5356 Phone: (919) 613-8400

Finally, if none of the above works out, call the laboratory manager
of a large local hospital. Large hospitals may perform this in-house,
or know of the best reference lab. They may offer for you to send them
your samples and they will send it on to a reference lab. I have seen
this set up before, when the performing lab does not accept insurance.
The samples are sent to the hospital lab, who accepts insurance, and
sends it on to the performing lab.
If any part of my answer is unclear, please, before rating, request an
Answer Clarification. I will be happy to assist you further on this
question.
