Are they kidding?!? $15 blood test+

Blood draw, urine sample, height, weight, blood pressure, someone comes to your house (or you go drive somewhere). You don't even get test results, the samples are destroyed. All for $15. I find this incredibly insulting that a MSC would attempt this.

I mean I make urine all the time for free. If someone wants to pay me $15 for my urine then not doing it is literally pissing money away.

They are destroyed because they are human samples. Then they would have to go through different regulatory guidelines and stricter laws. Also, there should be an order from a medical professional in order to process samples for any test. DAT-direct access test is prohibited in 18 states. A lab can not do tests unless there is an order on file. The company wants to evaluate under the same conditions everywhere. As such, everything is destroyed.

This is an in-home exam company that comes out for insurance licensing. As an insurance agent, the exam company is so backed up it's not even funny.
My clients can't even get an appointment for weeks, and I can't believe they're shopping them!

That being said, I've had these done for my own policies and they're pretty quick. I agree, 15 is way too low for it.
