Thinking it might be more of a privacy issue.
If you thought you had aids but didn't want that info in your medical file then you could test for it this way.......etc etc
Also if your Dr is a moron, which most are, and will not order the tests you want then you can just do it yourself.
I had an ENDO that was a ***** and refused to order the tests i wanted done, so i just did it myself online.

I've been needing to look into this recently.
There are five states that prohibit direct access testing by patients and require a physician's order: New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Maryland, and Massachusetts. If you live in one of these states, you can still order labs and get them drawn in DC or another state.

Just saw this on FB and I'm wondering about cost (Silver has no insurance and VA wouldn't cover my tests) for specific testing.
Does this mean Labcorp will draw and you have it sent to the lab of your choice? And do you end up paying two fees, one to have it drawn (Labcorp) and one for the testing facility?
Inquiring minds need to know!
