Affordable Wellness Tests are self-initiated tests as opposed to tests ordered by your doctor. They allow you to take a proactive role in your health and potentially expedite diagnosis with your doctor’s evaluation. These tests will not be shared with any third party and therefore are not applicable for reimbursement by your insurance company or Medicare. For a better understanding of the test results, additional medical advice and treatment, you will need to contact your personal physician.

Screen and monitor prostate cancer, prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Consider if you have difficult, painful and/or frequent urination or pelvic pain. This test is recommended yearly starting at age 50, and starting at age 40 for men who are at increased risk for prostate cancer such as those of African-American decent or who have a history or family history of the disease. These tests along with a digital rectal examination by your physician are used to evaluate the male prostate.
Am I Pregnant? $10
The five common symptoms of early pregnancy are a missed period, urinary frequency, fatigue, recurring nausea as well as sore and enlarged breasts. If you are experiencing these symptoms, consider this sensitive test as soon as possible. This hormone can be detected as early as 7-10 days after conception.
Blood Grouping $46
Determines blood and Rh type, which prove to be helpful when donating blood and for people undergoing blood transfusions due to blood disorders or excessive blood loss. Advised for pregnant women to determine the risk of Rh incompatibility between the mother and fetus. The above clinical situations should be monitored by a physician. Additionally, people who are just curious to know their blood type may consider this test.
Blood Coagulation $18
This test serves two purposes. It evaluates how well blood-thinning medications are working (monitored by your physician), and it helps detect and diagnose a bleeding disorder, which can be indicated by the following signs or symptoms:
• Nosebleeds
• Bleeding gums
• Heavy menstrual periods
• Blood in the stool and/or urine
• Loss of vision
• Arthritic-type symptoms
• Chronic anemia

Get tested if you experience inflammation and soreness of the back of the throat, fever, rash, headache, reddened throat with white or yellow spots, swollen and tender neck, weakness and loss of appetite.

Left untreated, strep infections can cause serious complications which can permanently damage the heart or kidneys.

Get tested if you experience sore throat, swollen glands in neck/armpits, fever, headache, ongoing weakness or fatigue, enlarged liver or spleen, a rash and possibly stomach pain. Mononucleosis occurs primarily in adolescence.

A ruptured spleen is an emergency.
