Q: Do I have to go somewhere to complete my test?A: Yes, you can choose a local testing location nearest to you for your test. We’ll provide you with access to our online Lab Test Center Locator that includes over
2,100 Patient Service Centers.
Q: How long does it take to collect my specimen?
A: Each order takes between 20-30 minutes at your Lab Test Center to complete. Patients are
typically in and out within a half-hour.
Q: Will this help me diagnose a problem with my Thyroid?
A: Yes, this test will provide you with the vital blood markers that will indicate whether or not you have elevated or low levels of TSH and Free T4, both of which will assist you and your physician in making a diagnosis on the health of your thyroid.
Q: What is this test measuring?
A: This test will provide the level of TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) and Free T4 in your blood. Both of these markers provide a clear insight into the performance level of your thyroid. You can bring your results to a local physician for a professional diagnosis (this level of results quality is not available through an at-home lab test).
Q: Is this the same as an at-home lab test?
A: No, we provide a deeper level of data quality and more verified results than an at-home lab test can provide. At-home tests use blood spot collection methods, which are not as reliable. If you were to bring your at-home test results to a doctor, they would likely have you take the test on this page to verify the results through a certified testing location.
Q: Do I need to see a doctor to get a lab order before getting a blood test through Ulta Lab Tests?
