Contributions — Any laboratory testing in St. George now provides accurate and affordable testing for southern Utah, regardless of whether they have a doctor or medical insurance. Get in and out quickly-and on the road to a healthier life.
"We allow people to control their health and decide what they want to do, thereby eliminating a lot of guesswork throughout the process," said franchise owner Julie Blasingame.
If you have questions about your health, Any Lab Test Now can help you find the answer. Maybe the solution is as simple as eliminating food allergens, or it may be much more complicated.
Any Lab Test Now is a clinical testing laboratory that can provide more than 8,000 different tests, from determining blood types to analyzing genetic makeup to estimate the likelihood of a person suffering from certain diseases.
"If you can think of it, we can test it," Brasingam said.
Any Lab Test Now has been serving the Greater St. George area since 2010 and continues to expand its test menu. The laboratory now offers COVID-19 PCR tests, which are required to travel to many international destinations, with results in less than an hour.
Any Lab Test Now can screen for nutritional deficiencies and food sensitivity, as well as various diseases, including Lyme disease, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, tuberculosis, measles, cystic fibrosis and sickle cell disease. The laboratory can also test for exposure to mold, arsenic, lead, mercury and other harmful substances.
In addition, customers can get answers to the most personal questions in life through paternity and DNA tests permitted by law. Any Lab Test Now also provides a comprehensive test panel for sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV and various legal and illegal substances.
Expectant parents may choose to find out the baby's gender with 99% accuracy as early as eight weeks. Pet owners can even reveal the genetic makeup of their dogs through canine pedigree testing.
For many tests, the collection process only takes 15 minutes. Results are usually available the next day, although some tests require more time. Any Lab Test Now is one of more than 170 independently owned and operated franchise locations and is affiliated with accredited laboratories across the country.
As a self-paid service, Any Lab Test Now does not accept health insurance. However, customers can use their HSA and FSA cars to pay for the fee.
Unlike medical laboratories, Any Lab Test Now does not require a doctor's recommendation. If anyone is worried about their health or needs to answer questions, they can make an appointment. Blasingame said that compared to visiting primary care providers, customers can check their thyroid hormone or testosterone levels in a shorter period of time, and out-of-pocket expenses are significantly reduced.
The comprehensive women's team provided by Any Lab Test Now helped Blasingame discover that she had a life-threatening illness. After complaining to her doctor about chronic discomfort and fatigue, she believed that it was only caused by menopause or stress, and she decided to solve the problem by herself. The test results showed an abnormally high red blood cell count, which prompted her doctor to finally order a blood test. The increased levels of hemoglobin and hematocrit in her blood led to the diagnosis of polycythemia vera, which is a blood cancer, and she immediately started treatment.
Blasingame knows that her stories are too common. Many people experience troublesome symptoms without an obvious explanation. This is where Any Lab Test Now can help by providing valuable diagnostic tools that customers can show to their doctors for discussion or keep for their own reference.
"Controlling your health is important," she said. "Your doctor sees hundreds of patients, but you only see one doctor. Who knows what's happening in your body better than yourself?"
