New direct-to-consumer laboratory testing service offers streamlined access to healthcare

Dec 2 2009

Long known for their independent, can-do spirit, Houstonians aren't waiting around for the government to tell them how and when to access healthcare. They are doing it themselves daily at ANY LAB TEST NOW®, a direct-to-consumer laboratory testing service recently opened throughout the city.

“Today’s consumer is taking control of their own health by researching and sharing information on-line. ANY LAB TEST NOW® empowers the consumer even further by giving them the access to order any laboratory test of their choice,” said J.R. Meszaros, local owner of ALTN.

ANY LAB TEST NOW® offers thousands of lab tests in a professional, convenient and affordable retail setting. ANY LAB TEST NOW® provides confidential lab tests with results typically in 24-48 hours and without the need of a doctor’s order, appointment or insurance. There’s no waiting and all tests can be taken anonymously. The facilities perform blood, urine, saliva and hair follicle tests for thousands of medical lab tests including drug, paternity, men’s and women’s wellness, STD/HIV and many more. ANY LAB TEST NOW® also provides pre-employment drug testing and random drug screening.

In addition to the thousands of standard laboratory tests, ALTN is also a direct source to hundreds of unique laboratory tests offered by prestigious, innovative, specialty labs around the country.

"Our customers come to us from a variety of sources and for a variety of reasons. We have attorneys who send clients for paternity tests; physicians who send self-pay patients for specific lab tests; employers who send employees for drug tests; individuals who come in for their own health prevention and maintenance; parents who bring in their teenagers to verify that they’re not taking illegal drugs and all sorts of other scenarios,” says Meszaros.
