Looking for out of pocket lab options?

You may be hesitant to schedule an appointment to see a doctor because you are uncertain about the costs of lab tests.

This can be a deterrent to seeking health care due to not having health insurance, or you may have insurance with a high deductible and are unsure about coverage.

There are ways to overcome these obstacles and we offer an out of pocket/cash pay option to get your labs done.

The advantage of this option is that you will not be surprised by a big bill and the cost of labs is transparent. In many cases, these out-of-pocket labs expenses may be used toward a health insurance deductible. 

What options for out of pocket labs do I have?

We work hard at finding lab companies that can keep out-of-pocket expenses affordable so you can get the information you need and get on track with your health.

We provide you with a laboratory order that you pay upfront at your provider's office and you will not be surprised by a big bill in the mail and you do not have to rely on what insurance companies may or may not cover.

How our process for out of pocket labs works

Schedule your new patient appointment online or by calling us at 480-687-0054. Our staff is ready to help you get set up. During your first appointment, the doctor will order the necessary blood work, which usually consists of a comprehensive workup.

We partner with lab companies to keep out-of-pocket expenses affordable and convenient so that you do not have to delay in getting the health information needed to help your health stay on track.

A mobile phlebotomist may be able to come to your home to collect labs. You can arrange this with the lab company that we set you up with.

Do you need your blood drawn?

Are you tired of waiting weeks to get an appointment for lab work? Even when you have an appointment, are you frustrated that you still have to sit in a waiting room for 30-60 mins before you are seen?

This can be challenging, especially since many lab orders require you to be in a fasting state and require you to be there early. We don't want you to be hangry so we offer in-office blood draws for your convenience and for a better patient experience.

Your options for in-office blood draws!

We offer the option to have blood drawn in-office for LabCorp and Sonora Quest, we just require that you bring your insurance card.

We recommend that you verify your insurance coverage prior to your lab draw. You can contact us at 480 687 0054 to schedule an appointment or you can schedule it online in your patient portal.

How we make your in-office blood draw easier

At NES, we make it convenient for you to get lab work done. We partner with many lab companies such as LabCorp, Sonora Quest, and Patient's Choice to help you get labs done and can even do same-day appointments!

We like to make things convenient for you so you can have a one-stop-shop for your lab testing and medical appointments.

You can book a blood draw appointment directly in your patient portal or by calling us at 480-687-0054. If you are using health insurance for lab work, then we request that you provide us with a copy of your insurance card so that we can prepare your specimens to be shipped out to your lab of choice.

What are specialty lab tests?

Specialty tests are not usually part of standard lab testing.

Specialty lab testing includes testing for:

• food sensitivities
• stool testing (bacteria, parasites, fungal, worms, and more)
• salivary hormone levels
• toxin testing
• heavy metal testing
• detailed cardiovascular testing
• detailed nutrient testing such as amino acids, vitamins and more!

Does this describe you?

Do you feel that your labs look normal and still have symptoms but cannot find out why? Are you tired of having just basic labs drawn that do not give you the big picture?

Do you want to have a comprehensive analysis of your health and are unsure how to do that?

Do you like having a lot of details about your health?

How getting a specialty lab can help you

At NES, we offer specialty lab testing, which means that we partner with reputable lab companies that provide tests beyond the basics.

We select tests that give us detailed information on your health, such as:

• detailed food sensitivity/allergy testing
• comprehensive stool analysis
• detailed lipid markers, genetic testing
• salivary cortisol testing
• at home sleep studies testing for sleep apnea

• and more to help get more detailed information in understanding the root cause of your condition.

The goal is to help you feel amazing and help empower you to take the steps needed to achieve optimal health and wellbeing.

What to expect when booking a specialty lab test with us

After your first appointment, the doctor will order the necessary lab work for your condition. In addition to this, the doctor will make recommendations for specific specialty testing, depending on your circumstances.

The specialty test kits will usually be provided after your visit if you have an in-person visit. If you have a telemedicine or phone consultation, the test kits can be shipped to you.

The testing kit(s) come with instructions on how to complete and shipping information on how to send it back to the company. After you submit this, the doctor will be notified when your results are ready, and then you can schedule a follow-up appointment to review them.

You can book a follow-up appointment in your patient portal or by calling us to schedule you.
