Fry or Red Labs?
Also, does insurance usually cover one over the other?
Lastly, where do you get blood drawn for "specialty" labs?
My GP will not do one for Igenex; wouldn't even do one for MDL- only LabCorp- so I doubt he'll consider Fry or Red. I don't know if he's extra finicky or if that's the norm.
My LLMD is too far away to pop in for a draw and I don't have another appointment for a while.
Thanks!

St Mary's has done it in the past for me. Not sure if they are still doing it. Call the hospital lab.

I like www.mdlab.com and they also try and bill your insurance which is a plus.

You still need a prescription to get them to do the tests.
Usually, you can get a blood draw at a hospital.
Fry Labs sends a kit out with the tubes they need, a shipping container, etc.
Best,
