Every lab test ordered through Cash Price Labs is reviewed and authorized by a licensed physician. No doctor visit required — proper medical oversight is built into the process.
Cash Price Labs operates as a direct-to-consumer (DTC) lab testing service. This means you can order lab tests yourself, without scheduling a separate doctor's appointment or obtaining a prescription first.
However, federal and state regulations require that all clinical laboratory tests be ordered by a licensed physician. To meet this requirement and ensure patient safety, every order placed through Cash Price Labs is reviewed and authorized by our supervising physician before being sent to the laboratory for processing.
This model gives you the convenience of ordering your own tests while maintaining the medical oversight that ensures quality care and regulatory compliance.
Dr. Ramsey is a licensed physician who reviews and authorizes all laboratory orders placed through Cash Price Labs. His oversight ensures that every test order meets clinical standards and regulatory requirements.
