So I went to the doctors for my yearly physical , complaining about low energy. Keep in mind this is something I've dealt with my whole life.and isn't any worse than normal.
BTW, My test levels were normal in my early twenties, just average from my recollection. So we order some tests, but without realizing it she checked off the testosterone box. Well, I'm on 500mg of test, and I'm not really sure if it's a big deal if my Insurance Company finds out my test levels are way out of range? I'm not quite ready to get on trt through my insurance , and if I was, could they use this test agaisnt me somehow? I have a couple things I can do, take the test tomorrow and say f it. Tell my doc what I'm on or lie and say it's some sort of legal prohormone, two, somehow uncheck that box or ask the lab to not test my testosterone, or three, wait a month or two and get it done when I'm off cycle, which tbh I haven't been completly off for a while, or four, reduce my MG to 200mg every ten days, wait 6 weeks, and hope they don't notice if it's a little high, or low.
.

Tldr: is having your insurance company know your test levels out of wack, or too high a bad thing for future care?

If your test is low the insurance company will not care but if its way high without explanation they might wonder what's going on.

I'd come off for 2 to 3 wks then get blood work done. Get the insurance to foot the bill or part of the bill.

I've never heard of an insurance company getting labs results. Your doctor is a different question. I'd wait until your levels are back in the normal range before getting the labs run. I wouldn't want the doctor adding a note to your chart that makes it harder, if you tried to get TRT in the future.
