LAB TESTING
Need in depth, affordable labs?
We know how expensive testing can be, particularly with specialized tests. By partnering with specialty labs, we are able to offer a lot of tests at a much lower, discounted out of pocket cost when your insurance won't cover the tests.
​
​
Who would benefit?
-
Anyone who wants less expensive, advanced functional medicine testing usually not covered by insurance
-
Those with limited insurance coverage for labs
-
Medicare or Medicaid patients with complex medical conditions who can't afford advanced labs and functional medicine doctors
-
People with digestive issues who have been to conventional practitioners without answers
-
Those working with functional medicine practitioners but not getting insurance coverage
*You can always send a recepit for services to insurances for reimbursement or use flex spending accounts
​
How does it work?
​
STEP 1 Click on your chosen test (most are available anywhere in the US and some internationally)
​
STEP 2 Order test through the link and fill out your information
​
STEP 3 Pay through the DHA website. (If you are working through a practitioner, you will need to separately send them the results once you receive them)
​
STEP 4 Once the order is processed, paperwork will be emailed to you within 2-3 business days. Blood draw paperwork includes 3 documents: a local lab list, preparation instructions (always fasting in the AM for morning), and a requisition form to take to the lab.
Blood draw does not include any additional expenses. For functional tests, kits will be maile to you directly within no longer than 1 week. These are usually urine, stool or saliva samples easily collected at home and then mailed out. For bloodwork, you will be given a list of local lab options to get a blood draw.
​
STEP 5 Once sent, the turnaround time is anywhere between 2-5 weeks depending on the type of test you ordered. Basic blood work can be as fast as 1 week, whereas functional tests can take more time.
