Health Insurance
Does Health Insurance cover Private STD Testing?
By STD Concern
As of today, both services on STD Concern are "Not Covered by Health Insurance" in order to Protect your Privacy. When Health Insurance is used to pay for STD Testing your information will be recorded in the MIB (Medical Information Bureau) database and will no longer be Private.
This website uses 2 main testing services to provide access to STD Testing at-Lab (STD Check) and STD Tests at-Home (My Lab Box). Because they are both Private Testing Services and not Public, they do require Payment for Services.
Alternatives
1. Your Family Doctor can provide Testing and Treatments for STDs with the use of Private Health Insurance but your information would not be Private.
2. A Public Health Clinic would offer free Testing and Treatments but would require STD Education in a Classroom plus Contacting Past & Present partners if you Test Positive.
Testing
Note: You can avoid Health Problems if your STI is Detected & Treated.
