Question: How much is a Thyroid Panel Lab Test?
Question: I get my thyroid tested regularly. The test my doctor usually orders is called a Thyroid Panel and Quest Diagnostics costs about $279. I do not have health insurance. Is there a cheaper place to get a Thyroid Panel lab test? ~ Sherry L. Frisco, TX
Answer: To get your answer I called Any Lab Test Now in Plano, TX and they sell the exact same thyroid panel for only $79. They have locations nationwide so chances are there is one near you. They do not accept insurance; however, you can pay with a credit card linked to a flexible spending account(FSA/HSA).
Speaking with Melodie at Any Lab Test Now, I discovered it is actually one of their most popular test panels. The thyroid panel is often used to diagnose, treat and/or monitor thyroid diseases such as hypo-thyroidism and hyper-thyroidism. The thyroid is a very important organ which regulates your metabolism.
A underactive thyroid can be linked to a slow metabolism and weight gains. If you feel this describes you then you can get your thyroid checked for $79 at Any Lab Test Now in Plano, TX. The doctor’s order can be provided if needed.
