Portland peeps we need some help!
Some people need to get a blood panel done. Specifically looking to check for heavy metals.
A few questions:
How can people who do not have insurance do this?
What about folks who have OHP but no primary care physician?
If these routes render useless, any recommendations for the cheapest way to do this?
Was told they would not do this testing at the emergency room. Is going to an urgent care who takes OHP and getting a referral for a lab an option? The urgent care centers we have called have sounded clueless. And the ones who did have easy access to these services that we found and tried were far too inaccessible for most people.
Time is of the essence for this.
