In the US you can have similar labs done at Labcorp or Quest. Prices are similar or slightly higher. MRIs are prescription only and higher priced. One main difference is that most labs here require a prescription, which means you need to go to a different provider just to get the piece of paper and pay them. Of course these providers are both massive chains. Not sure if either are PI owned.


Quest and Labcorp have started doing many tests for a direct fee. You just pay upfront and get it done, no prescription/insurance needed.

It’s not all the tests I think, but many.


Exactly what I was saying. The majority of tests still need a prescription, but there a a few dozen out of the few hundred total.
