Our local LabCorp did it for us- I spoke to their national customer service person, and the exact policy was: if you are having another test at the same time (paying labcorp for it) then they will do the Cunningham test.

I had an order in for a CBC ($29 bucks, I think) I paid for it, but did not get it done, I thought it was too much at one time (2 vials for the CamK test) so they shelved it for me, I have it pre-paid in their system, for whenever I want to go up and get it done (the CBC)

 

Anyway, we have a great tech at LabCorp by our house, who knows my dd5- she even packaged up the Cunningham test and sent it out for us---

I might call your local labcorp (your tech) and tell her you understand that is the labcorp policy, can she please double check that if you bring you dd in, it will be done?

The test kit has instructions on how the blood is to be drawn- it needs to be spun (I hate talking about blood, sorry)

it requires 2 vials.

 

My dd5 has also had a lot of bloodwork over the last couple years- and much more this month alone. I hate it. Like you, we do have a special tech for our labcorp., who adores my daughter. But it is such an ordeal, as you know.

Good luck---

My local LabCorp would not do the Cunningham test. I didn't know to call the national customer service line. I ended up taking my DS to my local hospital's lab and they drew the blood. They did not spin it either. Its helpful for Dr C to have it done already but not required. They will spin the sample when they get it.

there is a facility called "lab tests now" or something that will draw labs (they have a doctor there who will order tests and they will draw them. It is a way for people with ins or who want the information PRIVATE!) to get labs drawn. I will try to find the name of the chain-- but there is one in alexandria, va

 

I am thinking they might do it.

 

Labcorp used to do it for me for one child but then for the most recent 2 would not.. so quest did it a wink/wink/shhh kind of thing. I think there also is a possibility of your hospital outpatient lab doing it. Quest mailed the blood for me - they would not let me take it. That made me nervous- as I was certain they would forget it. They did not & it all arrived fine.
