Frequently asked questions
Can I get a Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) done at home?
Yes. A certified Speedy Sticks phlebotomist comes to your home or office, collects the sample for your Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), and routes it to the laboratory on your order. You keep the same lab order and the same processing lab.
Do I need to fast for a Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH)?
Fasting is generally not required, but always follow your lab order's instructions.
Do I need a doctor's order?
No. You can use an order from your own provider, or a licensed provider in our partner provider group can write one for any test on the Labcorp or Quest menu (self-pay, quoted before ordering). With our order, we send you the results, and the ordering provider follows up on critical results.
How much does it cost?
Collections start at $150 for individual bookings, plus any lab fees billed separately by your laboratory. Most HSA/FSA cards are accepted.
Where do my results go?
It depends on who ordered the test. With your own provider's order, the laboratory reports results directly to that provider, and Speedy Sticks doesn't receive or store them. With a direct access order from our partner provider group, we send the results to you, and the ordering provider follows up on critical results.
