Blood work question

[swordfish151]

Do you guys know if insurance companies pay for blood work beside it being the regular "check up" blood work that they do? If they do..and i need to be specific..what should i ask to be tested?

my ins covers it, but after pct i think i am going to have to come clean with my doc, because it will be my 3rd blood work up in a yr. i made some shit up last time about no energy feeling sick all the time, and got him to send me for a second, it may be a hard sell this time without coming clean.
only thing with that is gotta make sure he does not write that shit in your file.
if your doc wont order the work, go find a different doc..

What specifically did you ask to be tested..im sure that with a regular check up they dont test your levels...i know i had one doc do it and he just did the general stuff like cholesterol and what not..but not nat test in my body and its levels..so i need specifics.

yea if you dont tell them you want test levels checked they will just run the basic blood screen, if you dont want your doc to know what you are doing, just tell him/her that for the last few months you have been real tired no energy, no sex drive, if they still dont get it ask if low test levels can cause the above symtoms. that should be enough for em. or if you think you can trust him/her come clean and ask them not to write anything down on your file about it.

In addition to the "comprehensive", you want to know what your hormones are doing.

I'd ask for these in the thread plus thyroid.
