basically no. Without the order insurance companies wont pay for your labs to be drawn. I found a home test that you can use get for 95.00.

No. You have to have a doctor's order. Besides, without a doctor ordering the test...it might not be H. Pylori that you need to be tested for. This is why we have doctors.

No they have to write the script for the tests they want you to have. Maybe if you call your doctor and state that you would like blood work done he will write the order as this is probably something he would like you to have for his records.

You need to see a doctor to have the test.
Then you need to see him again for the results, because the lab cant give you the results.
Anybody see a pattern as to why Health Care costs are out of control.

it's probably national, though i don't know that for a fact.. but in this state if you don't have a doctors order the lab can be cited and possibly shut down.. so no, there is no legal way.

Do it yourself. No hospital or licensed lab will do it without an order.

So if you have it, will you order antbiotics off the Internet to avoid going to a Dr?

I heavily doubt it. medical doctors opt to imagine they're the in worry-free words ones who can appropriately examine the end results of exams, it has something to do with their "God" complicated. you have to be certain one to get the attempt performed.

If it's positive, how are you going to get treatment?
Did you go to medical or pharmacy school?
