Are labs required?

Updated over a week ago

Yes, your Measured provider must review certain labs before writing your second month’s prescription to ensure your safety.

The required labs are: creatinine and eGFR (kidney function), hemoglobin A1c (blood sugar), lipid panel (cholesterol and triglycerides), and TSH (thyroid).

These labs must have been completed within the last 12 months.

You can complete labs in a few different ways:

  • upload recent results you already have

  • use a Measured lab order at a local laboratory

  • purchase a prepaid Quest order ($50)

  • request an at-home kit ($125)
