PSA ordered from website

Has anyone used a website such as Request-A-Test or Walk-in-Lab to order a PSA test without a doctor’s order? It looks like the cost from LabCorp is $49 and $35 respectively. Results back in a day or two.

Yes I have. In my case it was the same lab my physician sends me to...

Was it either of the sites I listed? How was your experience?

We use walk in lab and like it a lot. Results come the next day directly to me even if it's a Saturday. I can send them to our doctor by simply pushing a button and entering their fax number. They also send coupons via email. I use their uPSA so that price is a little higher than what you have listed, it's about $100 and around $70 with the coupon.

The lab is Labcorp. My husband sees the same tech each time and they've developed a nice relationship.

Medicare covers my PSA tests and I'm sure my doctor can code the tests so I can have them at 3 month intervals but I may want to have another lab for comparison from time to time or do the test more frequently than 3 months since I'm bouncing. It's just too much of a hassle to explain to my doctor's staff what my intentions are. I'm willing to pay out of pocket occasionally to avoid the aggravation.
