How to Save Money on Your Lab Tests
Monday, February 01, 2010 9:40:29 PM (Central Standard Time, UTC-06:00) ( Consumer-driven health care | Finding the Best Value for Health Care Services )
 

We love sharing tips on how consumers can save money on health care costs.   When it comes to lab tests, most consumers have their lab tests done through their doctors. For consumers that want to save money and time, online lab testing is an affordable way to have your lab tests done. Consumer online lab tests can be a convenient and cost-effective way to have the same lab tests done that your doctor orders --- while saving money on these tests. To use these online lab websites, consumers select a specific test(s), enter their zip code to locate a blood draw center in their neighborhood, and order the test online using their credit card. Depending on the consumer’s health plan, consumers might be reimbursed for this service. Be sure to check with your health plan for specific details. I’d like to introduce you to Personalabs.com, a direct-to-consumer lab test website.

PERSONALABS™ was founded in Aug 2006 to provide consumers with direct access to the same blood tests available from their doctor. No office visit is required, there is no medical record and their tests are offered at a lower cost. Their focus is to empower consumers by giving them the tools to make informed decisions about their health and wellness. They provide the same blood tests that are available through your doctor, including STD tests, health tests and drug tests, without waiting for a doctors' appointment and without the high costs. Online lab test sites make it very easy for consumers to get tested for a variety of health concerns.

The next time you need a routine lab test, I strongly recommend you consider online lab test sites. Consumers are invited to visit Personalabs.com and save 5% on their lab tests by using discount code “AD2009”.
