Order tests by myself or through local DAN doctor ?

 

Since some of the test needs blood draw and needs to be done thru doctor .

I'm going to find a local DAN doctor to do testing .

 

But I asked them , most of the tests have to be tested in US . I'm in Canada .

 

My question is that if it will be cheaper if I do testing together with blood draw once ? And would that be cheaper I do test directly at US's lab ?

 

And the initial consultation cost me $200 . Is it worthy ?

 

Thanks

hi Simon

hopefully one of our Canadian members will best be able to guide you on this.

Suppose it's in US . Do-test-ONCE is better than Do-test-seperately regarding the cost ?

Simon,

 

I'm not for sure what the answer is on this one. Do they charge you extra for the test when living in Canada? Most tests have lab kits which come with a prepaid shipping package. I know the Pyroluria test doesn't, but any tests from Doctors Data Lab, Metametrix Lab, Great Plains Lab, & Great Smokies Lab do. You ship the sample of what ever off individually in the prepaid lab envelope.

Simon,

 

I checked with direct labs and they said that there is an extra $25 fee to ship test kits to Canada. The $25 fee is per box so it depends on how many they can fit in a box. Once you collect the sample and send it off there are no extra fees to ship from what they told me. So with direct labs if you ordered a kit by itself and then decided a month later to order another kit it would be $25 extra for each. They also said they can't do blood draws in Canada.

 

However, if you went through a DAN doctor maybe that's different since they have the lab kits on hand. Have you found a DAN doctor yet? As your searching I would just ask them what the cost of some tests are that you may be interested in to compare prices. I came across a doctor here in Nebraska that had higher prices for the main lab kits that DAN doctors use than other DAN doctors, and I thought they maybe were making/making more profit on the labs.
