Laboratory testing is not a treatment but a tool to aid in the detection of illness and disease. Your test results should show a range for normal readings. It is possible that results outside of the normal range may indicate a false positive or may be normal for you. If your results do fall outside of the normal range it is important that you consult with your doctor . It is also a good idea to share your results with your doctor even if they are in the normal range. The testing services do not offer medical advice, and CCM staff is not available for interpreting results.

Several companies offer testing. Two are listed below. A phone call or visit to the web site would indicate whether testing is available in your area. To receive the Medi-Share discount, we advise that you order your test over the phone and indicate your Medi-Share status (applicant or member).

* Direct Lab Testing is not offered in New York

Testing is offered for kidney or liver function, to check levels of calcium, cholesterol and other minerals, and to screen for diabetes, Lyme disease, hepatitis, and prostate cancer. Combinations such as “comprehensive wellness profile” and “women's health profile” are also offered.

Christian Care Medi-Share does not endorse these companies. According to our official member-voted Program Guidelines section VIII E Medi-Share does not share in well patient care such as routine lab studies. We are making our members and applicants aware of this service and the potential savings to them.
