ok so the routine then for labcorp is what? make an appointment on the website or just show up and sit? I think they're gonna ask for some ID?

you can make an appointment but there is rarely much of a wait so I just show up at my convienience, might want to call to check their hours though.

you order, print out the paper and then take that paper with you. you don't show ID.. if they ask for ID you tell them to go fuck themselves.. haha jk.. just calmly tell them you are getting anonymous bloodwork and you are not required to show them anything. next day log onto the website and you will see your results, as simple as that

*** keep in mind a lot of labcorp's business is employee drug screening so the employees there will naturally ask for ID out of habit and ignorance. when you walk in there with an order from a doc 1500 miles away obviously they are too stupid to understand you are getting bloodwork from a doc who never even saw you.

I am a MA resident so for me to use direct labs i'll have to enter a NH address into the directlabs website or it will bounce me. Can I get away with my buddies NH home address? As long as they don't check ID I can put anything into the website. Thanks.

if it were me, i'd likely say something like i just moved and havent gotten a new ID yet. whats the worst that could happen, they deny you? go somewhere else

 

[maddad]

I'm going to give it a shot this week. I will report back.

just don't show ID when you go in.. they will have no clue

 

[beast_gunz]

[maddad]

You are from MA right? And just had the labs done in NH?

 

[maddad]

correct. get a buddies address in nh (or make one up) go on directlabs order you up some tests. show up. they might ask if you have anything with your name on it. i had a credit card in my pocket. i gave it to the girl she just shrugged. i don't see why they need id anyway.

^^^Thanks for the info...

i am not happy with labdirect being a labcorp only shop. labcorp testosterone test limits only go to 1500. helpful but not really useful. also i think dbol or some other oral with blow up the estrogen test. labcorp is not the best, quest is better. i found another website

https://www.health-tests-direct.com

doesn't list MA as an excluded state. I entered my location as manchester NH and labs in MA populated the search result. Also their requisition is good at a quest labs.

someone give this a shot.

if you order the correct test it will go past 1500.. female hormone panel only goes to 1500 cause its a FEMALE hormone panel. if you get the male one it goes past 1500

This has been a really useful thread. Thank you guys for contributing.

Question, if someone is in ny, but near the NJ border would it better for them to go into an NJ labcorp?

There is even a question in the FAQ: How can I keep my “true” identity from HTD, and the clinic, and the lab?

Answer: For your patient information you just type in an alias, but when you pay for the blood work you need to put in the correct information.
