Frequently Asked Questions - Discountedlabs

Blood test orders are good for 90 days.  We are only able to refund your order(s) within the first 90 days if you have not had your blood drawn for the order(s). We do not do exchanges, but you can ask for a refund and place a new order for the tests you want within the 90 days following your original order. To cover physician expenses, a fee of $15 per order will be charged for refunds requested after 24 hours of your order

Note: 

You will receive the refund in your account approximately 5–10 business days after the date on which the refund was initiated. (This is an aspect of how the banking system works.)  Note that refunds may appear in the form of a reversal. In the case of a reversal, the original payment will drop off your customer's bank statement, and a separate credit is not issued.

You can place an order for your child but need to create an account with your child's name, gender and date of birth. You can use your address, email address, phone number and credit card. Minors must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian at the lab. You need to show your and your child's ID at the lab.

You should receive an email confirmation. If you do not see it, please check your spam folder.

Lab request forms can be downloaded right after you place your order. Please print the PDF file and take it to the closest lab that you can find in our "Find a Location" page.  Please do not sign that form. Get your blood drawn.  No fees will be charged by the Lab. If the lab clerk asks you for your insurance information, tell him/her that your order is prepaid.  If they have any questions, they can call the phone number on the lab request form.

To download your lab request form and your test results (both in PDF format), please download Adobe Reader at Windows and Mac.

Recent state regulations have made it impossible for us to serve customers in those states.  Residents of those states cannot obtain blood testing in other states.

Do not place an order for someone else. The information on your orders (name, date of birth, and address) should correspond to the person getting his/her blood drawn.  If you want to place an order for a friend, we suggest you buy a gift certificate and let that person place the order themselves using that certificate code which will be emailed to you for forwarding it to your friend/relative.  Buy certificate here

Your relative or friend can place their order and can use your credit card, however.  Since we do not mail (only email) results, the address on the card can be different from the home address of the person placing the order.

If your mailing address is in NY, NJ or RI, you cannot obtain blood testing from us even if you drive to other states.  We are sorry about that.  Those states have special legislation that prohibits direct-to-consumer lab services from companies outside them.

The decision is not up to us- it’s up to the customers HSA carrier/insurance company to accept the charges as a health care expense. The customer can try to submit expenses to his/her HSA insurance company. However, if his/her HSA company comes back with a request for more information about the transaction, we will not be responsible for providing such information.
