Just wondering . .

If i go to a doc and get blood work done and tell him that i'm on steroids so i need checked.

Is it confidential or could he turn me in? I want to get blood work done, but i don't know if i can get caught for it.

he can't turn you in, but your ins. company will know....

Just tell him what you want checked. He doesn't have to know anything else.

Your average MD is not too cool, is employed by the HMO/PPO and is paid by the insurance company and if he puts down steroid use, it is considered an illegal activity and they may not pay. Check him out with a few questions first. "Doc, do you (or have you) ever pumped iron?" If you get a bad vibe, tell him you used to drink a lot and are worried about your liver functions and also that you are having problems getting it up. He will order the tests then, without compromising your little secrets.

cant you just use cash to pay for it your self???

It'll still look a bit sketchy going in and getting it done.

I'm sure he'll be wondering why, but who knows . .

Well, it's not a steroid test so i guess i don't really have

anything to worry about, right?

Thats what I would do. Find a private clinic and pay cash.

The doc cant say anything because of the privacy laws. But as stated above Insurance Companies are evil. If some how steroids get in there and you pay for your own insurance or have a private policy they have the right to kick you off as a high "health risk". People now a days are having such probs getting insurance getting denied for the most minor reasons.

Just dont run it threw your insurance and pay the lab fees. It might be a couple hundred bucks but if you have it y risk it.

So I don't get it. If I'm a heroin addict, and I tell my doctor I'm a heroin addict, I'll recieve whatever treatment is necessary, and would never be turned away by my insurance company. But, if I tell my doc I've had a few tabs of dbol in the last month, he'll go out of his way to revoke my insurance?

It just doesn't make sense. If your doctor isn't there to help you stay healthy, regardless of your lifestyle choices, it's time to find another doctor.
