Gain control of your health with affordable testing
Your kidneys can be the cause of many health issues and can show signs of underlying issues if they are monitored regularly. Basic kidney function is part of most general checkups and a test to evaluate the effectiveness of your kidneys can answer many questions about your health overall.
Unfortunately for many Americans without insurance, obtaining a kidney test, or any other health test, might seem very difficult or impossible.
In the past, in order to obtain a kidney test someone would have to go see a doctor and pay a co-pay or out of pocket for the doctor’s visit to obtain a referral for a test. From there, the test would be done at a time convenient for the test facility and the doctor, not the patient, and once the results were in the patient would go back to the doctor, possibly paying all over again for the visit, just to hear the results.
This system puts a large burden on the uninsured, as the visits and tests themselves can get expensive very quickly. And even for people with insurance, so many trips to the doctor and the testing center is very inconvenient.
Luckily, there is a better way. Our company partners with a professional lab testing facility with over 3,000 facilities nationwide. We allow our clients to go online, select the right test for them and pick a location, date and time for their sample to be collected. From there, we send the results directly to the client via a secure online portal. No more doctor’s visits, all on your time and it’s all available for one flat fee (kidney screenings start at just $49).
We are proud to make kidney testing, and over 100 other medical tests, available and affordable to the public.
Kidney tests are useful for anyone, as a kidney screening is a vital part of any annual checkup, so if you just want a better understanding of your health then it’s a good idea to consider a kidney function test. Beyond standard checkups, kidney tests can provide specific answers for many people struggling with diagnosed issues.
One group of people who benefit from affordable kidney screenings are those who have been diagnosed with or think they might have diabetes. If you have a family history of diabetes, have symptoms such as increased hunger or thirst, fatigue, blurred vision or frequent urination, or have already been diagnosed with type 1 or 2 diabetes, a kidney test can provide clear answers.
We offer a test specific to diabetes and kidney function which checks 20 different levels related to the regulation of blood sugar. With these results, a physician can help make a plan to treat your diabetes and/or you can adjust your diet and lifestyle plan to ensure your diabetes stays on track.
We mentioned our easy testing process, but perhaps the most useful part of our testing service is our post-test consultation call. With tests like the kidney diabetes screening, the results are difficult to understand because there is so much data.
By partnering with a network of healthcare professionals, each of our clients gets a follow-up call from an experienced doctor who can help interpret the test results and what they mean to your health.
