| The
state of New York has banned its citizens from direct access to laboratory
services or "self-referral." Therefore, YOU are not allowed
to get a "preventative" blood test on your own - even though
it is done at a NY licensed laboratory (CLIA-certified), ordered by an
MD, and at lower prices than the price the same
lab would charge otherwise.
LET
YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!

send an email to Betty Kusel, Director of Regulatory Affairs, NY Dept
of Health, if you believe that:
...it should be a citizen's right to take charge of their own health for
prevention and early detection;
...citizens
taking a proactive approach with their health will lower healthcare
costs;
...it
should be a citizen's right to have access to wellness lab tests at any
time and at discount prices;
...the
state Dept of Health does not have the right to prevent you from using
a Direct Access Testing company that uses only CLIA-certified, NY licensed
laboratories;
...you agree with our mission to provide access to laboratory screening
tests to personally monitor your wellness for prevention or early
detection and not be forced to wait for a symptom!
Prevention
is the key to reform of the U.S. healthcare system. The healthcare industry
is a treatment-oriented system: a philosophy based on curing sickness
rather than preventing it.
