Help Center Why do I have to do labs?

Sunlight requires laboratory testing to ensure that your prescribed medication is safe and effective for your individual health. Completing labs allows our providers to make informed decisions about your care.

Lab Testing Requirements

  • All patients must complete laboratory testing before their third prescription is issued
  • In some cases, your initial intake may require lab results before your first prescription
  • These labs help your provider confirm that the medication and dosage are appropriate for you

Benefits of Lab Testing

Lab tests allow your provider to:

  • Safely adjust your medication dosage based on your results
  • Monitor your overall health and response to treatment
  • Ensure you receive the best possible outcome from your therapy

Lab Testing Options

  • Required labs typically include A1C, TSH, CMP, and a Lipid Panel
  • Recent lab results within the past 24 months are acceptable
  • No additional cost for labs if performed through Sunlight’s partners: LabCorp, Quest, or BioReference (BioReference serves NY, NJ, and RI patients)
