Several companies in the US provide “Direct to Consumer” lab testing options where an order from a provider not needed. You are able to order and pay for your tests online, and then go to a local lab site for blood draw, saliva testing, urine collection, or whatever sampling is needed. These companies typically do not take insurance. This type of service is prohibited in some states; be sure to investigate prior to payment.

If you are ordering your own tests without a provider, you can not rely on other ApoE4.Info members for test interpretation or treatment plans. We are not a substitute for medical advice.
