Sometimes you just need the numbers: an A1c before a refill, a ferritin because you've been dragging, a fresh TSH for your thyroid visit. This pathway lets a physician order routine tests from a defined menu at a lab near you — and unlike order-only services, every result comes back with a physician's written review and a specific next step.

If treatment is appropriate, your physician can send a non-controlled prescription to your pharmacy and provide portal instructions for the next step.

Look for another care setting

Symptoms happening right now (a clinical visit — online or in person — evaluates symptoms; a lab order alone does not)
Chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, or confusion (emergency care now)
Genetic testing, cancer/oncology panels, or drug-of-abuse testing (excluded — these need pre-test counseling or in-person pathways)

Start the request on the website, answer the fit questions, and choose the response window you want. If the concern still fits this service, a physician reviews it and sends a secure update after sign-in. When appropriate, non-controlled prescriptions can be sent to your pharmacy, and a basic work or school note can be included at physician discretion.

How much do the labs cost?

You pay the lab directly at its posted price — QuickVisitMD adds no markup on testing. The $29 visit fee covers the physician's order and the guaranteed written review of every result.

What happens when my results come back?

A physician reviews every value and messages you a written next step for each — normal values confirmed in plain language, abnormal values each paired with a specific action, and anything urgent triggers a direct, prompt callback. Nothing is ordered and forgotten.

Can this include the labs another QuickVisitMD visit asked for?

Yes — that's one of its main jobs. A TSH for the thyroid refill visit, a lipid panel for cholesterol care, an A1c, a ferritin level, or PrEP monitoring labs can all be ordered here, and the result routes back into that visit's requirements.

Why can't I order genetic or cancer testing here?

Those tests deserve more than an order form — genetic and cancer-related testing should come with pre-test counseling from a clinician or genetic counselor who can help you choose the right test and understand the result. Drug-of-abuse testing follows its own chain-of-custody process. A routine test from the menu is always welcome here instead.
