What to expect?
| Tue, 02-08-2005 - 1:10am |
Hello! Well I have some good news. I found a Endo that can see me this Wed! So what should I expect on the first appointment? My regular doctor told me that my levels were high, will they put me on meds this app? Or take more blood and go from there? I'm just tired of feeling this way!
Thank you guys so much for everything.

Depending on how long ago your blood tests were he may want to retest you.
Thanks Kim
>All the paper showed was cost of first visit, and thyroid ultrasound. No blood work. Is that weird?<
Not necessarily. I believe that would be billed by the lab that runs the test(s). The majority of the costs I incur come from the lab fees. They are incredibly high! I am uninsured so I SEE what the actual charges are...and pay for them.
For my full panel when I initially went in it was $200+...strictly for lab fees. I have had blood work a total of 3 times, and it was over $700 for lab fees. Remember, that is not at all including the office visit, or what my D.O. charges to PERFORM the actual drawing of the blood.
It may be different at your Dr.'s office...let's hope so!
Good luck, and take care! : )
