Where walk-in testosterone testing is unavailable
The seller this guide links to does not offer its tests in every state. If you live in one of the excluded states, you cannot order from it. This page shows where, and what you can do instead.
The current list
ND, RI, NY, NJ, MD and HI
These are state abbreviations. If the seller’s coverage changes, we update this list and the notice on every price box together.
If your state is not on the list, that is not a promise your order will go through. The seller’s checkout makes the final check. This guide does not give a reason for any state on the list.
If your state is on the list
- Ask a clinician to order it. MedlinePlus says your health care provider can measure your testosterone by ordering a test (MedlinePlus). A clinician can also decide which test fits your symptoms.
- Ask your insurer what it covers. Cost and coverage for a clinician-ordered test depend on your plan. Ask before the draw, not after.
- Look at other services, and check each one yourself. Other labs and at-home kit services set their own state rules and prices. Confirm that a service operates in your state before you pay. The trade-offs between kits and lab draws are in at-home vs lab testosterone tests. This guide cannot vouch for any service it does not link to.
- Do not wait on a test if you feel unwell. If you have symptoms that worry you, see a clinician rather than waiting to find a way to order.
What to expect from a clinician-ordered test
The draw itself is the same either way. MedlinePlus says a lab professional takes a blood sample from a vein in your arm, and that it usually takes less than five minutes (MedlinePlus). Ask the clinician about fasting and timing. See also how walk-in lab testing works for the general steps.
