Has anyone gone to Quest/Labcorp or local hospital lab and asked them to draw blood or Igenex?
I have the kit and the dr's script...but Not sure If local labs will do the draw?
Also, How exactly do I send the kit back to Igenex? Do I go to a Fed-ex facility? or will they pick it up at my home?

Make sure you do the draw early in the week. Igenex needs the sample overnighted early in the week.

LabCorp drew ours. You can call Igenex and they will tell you who is contracted in your state to draw.

Labcorp did it for me; charged me a nominal fee... like $15, or something.

Our local hospital did it for my wife. Spoke with the lab manager a few days before hand. She agreed to do it. They even fedexed it for us. Great service!

I believe LabCorp will do it.

Labcorp will do it for you, but you have to have the kit. Some locations occasionally even have the kit already, from what I've heard - but only for a lab that is close to the LLMD's office (that gets regular patients from them).

I am in Georgia, used Doctors Lab.....I had the kit from Igenex, Drs Lab drew the blood, prepared it.....put the package together ready for shipping all with no fee.
BTW it was prepaid for Fedex shipping, I just dropped it off at Fedex office.
