Hi How do I get to have these tests done before I decide to go on medication? Does your Dr have to order them for you ? Thanks

You can have the lab test by two ways. One is to have your MD (PCP or endo/rheumy or maybe orthopedic doc) to order the lab so that your insurance could cover, although some insurance still may not cover for whatever reason. Without an MD order, you could go to Quest Diagnostics site and order the test yourself. The catch is you pay out of pocket. You could also go to an online site such as ultalabtests.com to order and bring the order sheet to Quest lab. Ultalabtests often offer sales so costs will be less.
