Yes a doctor who does not take my insurance. Most doctors who take insurance these days (IMO) are very restricted by what tests they can order and in what order as there is a protocol they must follow.
My regular doc did a standard blood test that included a few vitamins. It showed a high level of B12 and everything else normal. I did not ask for a B1 test. I didn't even get a chance to ask my off the grid dr about this cellular level vitamin & mineral blood test before she mentioned it. I value the results much more then a standard blood test for vitamins & minerals. Interestingly it showed I'm borderline low in B12 not high. We ran the test through my insurance and it looks like it will be covered. The only extra I had to pay was for the doctor visit. I'm trying to figure ways around my insurance . I don't drink wine.
