You cannot do this in certain states like NJ and NY. You will need an MD to order the tests. Same with other things like ordering insulin syringes or whatnot. Means I have to buy stuff from out of state or fly out of state to do my bloodwork.

Same issue as before. The medical establishment always trying to find a way to get a cut on everything when it’s entirely unnecessary.




You should be able to do this in NY - but I think the phlebotomist has to go to your house. I know people in NYC who get at-home blood work. Your situation may be different, but maybe the laws changed and you should check again if you care.


Quest excludes AZ, AK and HI, but it does include NY and NJ.
