A bit of a random Q… and possibly should be a Reddit Q but figured there are smart, health conscious people here! I’ve recently moved to the US and looking to get a comprehensive blood test done. I’d love it to be as full scope as possible, including hormones. If anyone has had something similar and can recommend, I’d really appreciate it 🫶

Most likely will be cheapest to go through your PCP and use insurance. Many of the tests will be covered as part of an annual exam. The extra ones you want that are not medically indicated may not be covered, but you will get the discounted rate negotiated by your insurance. Otherwise you can pay for a full panel through LabCorp, Quest, etc… but that will cost more and perhaps a lot more, depending on your insurance. Your PCP may also be able to discuss with you why certain tests may or may not provide any value and guide you to what you really need for your goals.

Really insightful thank you!

Go to your doctor and ask for a full blood panel. You may need to pay extra for every test, but it’ll be easy to get

I signed up for Function Health last year. The lab work is fairly comprehensive and you can add on additional tests outside of the many that are included. It’s super easy to schedule the lab appointments through the app. It’s an annual membership fee which is not, in my mind, unreasonable given how much the labs would cost if not ordered by your PCP (assuming would all be covered by insurance). You also receive a pretty detailed report a few weeks after the labs have been processed that you can take to your PCP to address any concerns and get further directed testing.

This is great, thanks so much

Do you work for PwC and have pwc insurance? If so… use your EHE and ask for it all lol. If you do it via EHE it’s all included vs if you go to an annual visit. I get soooo much bloodwork at the EHE
