Can this test kit be mailed to New York or Internationally?

Additionally, this test is currently only being offered to residents of the United States. The materials are extremely time sensitive and overnight services cannot be guaranteed to international destinations. We hope to be able to expand our borders in the future, but only ship within the United States at this time.

Where do I go to get my blood drawn?

It is important to find a location that can properly draw your blood. You will be provided with the test kit and it includes all of the materials needed for the phlebotomist.

Please keep in mind that a blood draw fee will likely be charged to you at the time of your draw. Every location charges a different amount, depending on the area and lab. We recommend that you ask for the cost prior to scheduling your appointment.

NOTE: Many phlebotomy labs will take care of shipping the specimen using the included prepaid FedEx label and shipping envelope. If the lab does not provide that service, you can take the kit to the FedEx location nearest you.

***Do not use Labcorp or Quest Diagnostics. We are not contracted with these companies and they will not be able to complete your blood draw for this test kit.***
