Depends on what you need blood work for.

And what exactly are they to do with this blood? You know the Test/blood work part? If you just need it taken out because you subscribe to the old pseudo-science of bloodletting, I'm sure we can find a quack to do it for you. I'd look for the chiropractors that claim to treat diabetes and other such things.

Rereading what I wrote and I'm not sure if you are fully understanding the question. There is a big difference between the many tests that can be done to blood. You would not want for example a place that only does drug tests to take your blood to screen for cancer. Blood sugar tests can be done with many home kits, but a screening for diabetes or vitamin deficiency should be done by a lab set up to do those. So to rephrase my question, what condition/requirement do you need to be tested for?

  1. Do you have a doctor's order for this? Most places won't just take your blood.
  2. What kind of tests do you need? There are thousands.
  3. If you're looking for the basics, you can donate blood and they'll upload the panel to your account. Free and you've helped someone!

I just had four different blood tests run today without doctor's orders - I ordered them on Lab Corp's website.

There are several places in Springfield where blood tests can be done without doctor orders depending on the type of test you wish to run. In the case of Quest Diagnostics and Lab Corp, both of which you can order tests through directly, several local healthcare providers including Mercy order their tests from them.

In some cases it may actually be cheaper to order the tests yourself than to send them through your healthcare provider and insurance, with the caveat you may need someone to analyze them after the fact. However, some primary doctors won't care as long as they are reputable lab, some labs offer doctor consultations, and telemedicine may be an option for this portion.

Quest is pretty standard imo. I am surprised they weren't outright recommended to OP

This is wholly incorrect. There are literally thousands of different kinds of tests. Some are only available with doctors orders some are avail through telemedicine some are just whatever. Some are cheap some are 10k without insurance.
