Regardless i got the blood work done full metabolic panel igf1 the works for $35 co pay.

Never tell them you're doing underground shit, no matter how cool you are with your doctor... First and second rule of fight club. It should be general knowledge by now. These doctors, in a good way and a bad way, are brainwashed against certain things. Her response is not surprising, your reaction to it is though.

Anyway, you didn't specify clearly what you're looking for. You want to do your own labs? I would confirm if it's cheaper, but there's many websites that offer them through Quest diagnostics or Labcorps. I use fitomics, but might cancel after I get my labs done. I'm doing a lot back to back and they're the cheapest with volume. Otherwise, there's privatemdlabs, which I'll consider later and some like marek health.

There's quite a few more, a simple search will help. Bottom line, don't share your shit with docs.

I understand your skepticism but unless im putting somebodys life in danger im protected under hipaa laws. I dont discuss who or where i would get those things from I simply explain what im doing and what blood work I needed. If anything id like them to violate my rights because it would result in a nice lawsuit payout.

I go to DrSays. And as for Hippa, the info can be given to your insurance company (hippa allows it). The insurance company could, theoretically, use it as a reason to deny claims.

Probably wont unless its something like a heart or liver issue. Keep them in shape and you should be fine.

its ironic though because the place has in house testing sub contracted to lab corp so if i payed get the done through them id go to the exact same place lol

 

[Bigoldguy]

Yep, but if you self pay, no insurance trail and hippa applies....no issues unless lady drawing the blood talked about the geared up gorilla sized guy she had to draw blood on.!8P

Exactly that, don't think HIPPA will really protect you as much as you think. Skepticism is the safer option, you are dealing with an illegal activity. You can also claim that "you're using it for research only" but you clearly stated you weren't.

In the end it's added risk that will not benefit you. You can request bloodwork without disclosing what you're injecting in your body. That's my take on it. Do as you will, just a friendly suggestion.

Might I ask why you dont think HIPAA will protect me? The only exceptions to HIPAA are if a doctor believes that "a patient is a threat to themselves or others, they may be required to notify law enforcement or others who can help intervene." Also in cases of child abuse, spousal abuse, elderly abuse. A patient whos also greatly wounded can be reported as well like a gunshot victim or something of that nature. Recreational drug use in the form of PEDs or even street drugs dont get relayed to the police but they will often try to getr you to go to rehab. Im not a lawyer but thats my take and i may be wrong too. im just here to learn and share my experiences

Hippa allows for agencies that have to bill or pay bills (insurance) to have access to your records. Its not the police that would be the problem, it would insurance payout denial. Insurance companies look for any reason fo deny benefits.

You are correct about law enforcement...there are few incidents when they can be called by a provider. I used to work ER and people freaked we'd call the cops cuz they were hopped on meth...providers dont care about the cops, they just need to know for drug interactions and causes on that 180 bpm hr.

Yeah fair play on the insurance side of things. Hopefully that doesn't come to fruition but if it does I'm prolly out a couple hundred buckeroos.

The situations you bring up are valid for when HIPAA doesn't apply. There's also court orders that the doc would be required to disclose anything you say to them during an investigation for whatever reason

I do agree these are not common scenarios, but I'm the type of person that would rather be safe than sorry.
