Testosterone test uncapped Quest diagnostics

[dexes]

Does testosterone blood test show uncapped over >1500 levels?

Testosterone, Free (Dialysis) and Total MS #36170

Usually use privatemdlabs for full bloods and ultalabtests(Quest) for e2 sensitive and other smaller bloods/panels

To have a test show results over 1500, the test will need to read like this on the panel; Testosterone Total LC/MS/MS.

This is the mid-cycle test that I use - https://labsmd.com/tests.php?view=all&show=2234&category=14&search=#2234

I just found another one ultrawellness.com. Anyone ever use them?
They are running a deal i got Total LC/MS/MS and Testosterone, Free (Dialysis) for under $40. I’ve always gone through Insurance and got hit with a $700 lab bill last time! Anyways I put the order in and will get the blood drawn after Christmas when they open up.

I’m glad to see that this test will do results over 1500! Is there a limit at all? Or exact number? Also I read that the dialysis method of free is more accurate than the calculated. Any truth to that?

Thank you!

Yes, FT measured by equilibrium dialysis is an extremely accurate way to measure your FT. Most just don’t use this assay due to cost.

It also allows you to see an uncapped FT result, unlike other assays.

That’s Awesome! I’m disgusted with the typical lab work costs. I’m amazed at how going through this lab which uses quest, it only cost me $48 for both free and total, using this uncapped more accurate method. Just went in this morning for the blood draw and will post results in the srx-lab area.

Sounds like there may have been a mistake by your insurance or maybe even by the lab/doctors office. Check to see what your bloodwork coverage looks like, then resubmit the claim for that $700 set of labs.

It should never cost that much with insurance, even with the shittiest plan out there. It’s often just a copay, or sometimes even free. My insurance is decent but not great, and they cover all bloodwork in full.
