At Aspect Wellness, I have a very comprehensive lab panel that I order for my patients which includes all the common screening labs for cardiometabolic health as well as some labs that are more in-depth, looking at a full thyroid panel as well as hormone levels and markers of inflammation. When I use an independent lab and pay cash for the labs, the entire comprehensive panel costs around $175. The small panel of hormones and cholesterol that my physician ordered for me would have cost me well over $1000 if I had been a cash customer or if my insurance did not cover the ordered labs.

When insurance companies come between the individual and their healthcare provider, costs increase and quality of care often declines. In my cash-based practice, decisions about your care are made by you and I collaborating together.
