For many patients, getting lab work done feels confusing, expensive, and frustrating, even when they’re trying to be proactive about their health. We hear it all the time:

“My doctor wouldn’t order the labs I asked for.”
“My insurance didn’t cover it.”
“I got a bill months later that I didn’t expect.”

That’s exactly why we introduced Labs Your Way at Tailored To You.

The Problem with Traditional Lab Testing

In a traditional healthcare setting, labs are often dictated by insurance guidelines, not necessarily by what a patient wants to understand about their body. Providers may be limited in what they can order, how often they can order it, or how they justify it to insurance companies.

Even then, patients are often left with:

Long wait times
Labs that don’t fully answer their questions
Surprise bills weeks or months later
Little explanation unless another appointment is scheduled

This system works for acute care, but it doesn’t always serve patients who want preventive, personalized, or wellness-based insight.

What “Labs Your Way” Does Differently

Labs Your Way removes many of those barriers by offering custom, self-pay lab panels with transparent pricing. Instead of navigating insurance restrictions, patients can choose labs based on their goals, symptoms, or curiosity.

Whether someone is focused on weight loss, hormone balance, metabolic health, inflammation, or general wellness, custom labs allow us to be intentional rather than reactive.

And just as importantly, patients know the cost upfront.

Why Patients Love Custom Labs

Patients choose Labs Your Way because it offers:

Clarity – You know exactly what’s being tested and why
Transparency – No surprise billing
Flexibility – You can choose focused panels instead of broad, unnecessary testing
Accessibility – We accept HSA and Flex spending
Empowerment – You have access to your own data

Many people simply want answers, not a diagnosis, not a prescription, just information they can use to make informed decisions about their health.

Common Questions Patients Have About Custom Labs

“Do I need insurance?”
No. Labs Your Way is self-pay with upfront pricing.

“Will someone explain my results?”
Lab interpretation is not included unless a separate provider appointment is scheduled. This allows patients to choose whether they want guidance or simply access to their results.

“Can this replace my primary care doctor?”
No, and it’s not meant to. Labs Your Way is designed to complement, not replace, primary care.

“Why wouldn’t my doctor order these labs?”
Often it comes down to insurance requirements, medical necessity criteria, or time constraints, not lack of care.

Why Labs Your Way Is a Win for Our Clinic
