Questions

Do I need a doctor's order for a Cortisol test?
Memberships and most lab stores include an order from a clinician they work with, so you do not need your own. Direct-access rules differ by state: New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island restrict it, and lab stores do not sell there.
What is a normal Cortisol level?
We do not publish reference ranges or interpret results. Ranges differ by lab, method, age and sex, and what a number means for you is a question for a clinician who knows your history.
Blood Test Watchdog compares testing services. It is not medical advice, does not interpret results and does not publish reference ranges as advice. Talk to a licensed clinician about which tests you need and what your results mean.
