Refund amounts will be 75% of the original purchase price. No refund after 21 days from receipt of payment. The "free if we don't find anything", "90 day money-back guarantee" promotions may end at any time, and refunds under these promotions can be claimed if, and only if, (i) the patient is a first-time customer (determined by personal details and not just the email address), (ii) the order does not contain STD tests or Sickle Cell tests, and (iii) there are no "high", "low", "abnormal", "alert" or "critical" flags in your test results. A flag is determined by comparing the result levels to the normal ranges for your gender and age. Additionally, an order qualifies under these promotions only if the order date is on or after 4/28/2022, and specimens were collected within 90 days of the order date. To file a claim, within 15 days of your results being posted to your order, open a ticket at help.privatemdlabs.com using the subject "Money Back Guarantee" and provide us with your order number, we will take it from there.

6. You agree that a lab test purchased through Private MD Labs does not constitute medical advice and will not diagnose, treat, or cure any disease or condition. You also agree that the lab test results can be inaccurate through no fault of Private MD Labs. You understand the service provided by Private MD Labs is a service provided at your request and not suggested by our staff physician. As an online service we do not have a traditional doctor-patient relationship and do not provide CPT codes, diagnosis codes or provider information in order to file insurance claims.

10. You agree to a $15 administration fee to be charged (or deducted from any unused credit balances) for each request to change your order once your order has been processed.

11. Your order never expires. Because of some regulations that we can't avoid, your requisition (prescription) automatically expires after 6 months, at which point we will issue you a new one at no cost when you're ready to take your tests. Because there is a cost involved in re-issuing your requisition, we ask that you refrain from requesting a re-issue until you're sure you will be going to the lab for your blood draw. We retain the right to not re-issue requisition orders at our own discretion without reason if we feel this policy is being abused.
Reissued requisitions may not be transferred to another name.
If the requisition associated with your order has expired and the tests ordered have increased in price, we reserve the right to issue a house credit to you for the amount of purchase to enable you to reorder and pay the difference in cost.
We reserve the right to charge an administrative fee of $15 for re-issues under certain circumstances, like abuse, too many re-issues or unforeseen circumstances.

12. Discount coupon codes issued by Private MD Labs are issued as a courtesy to our customers. Coupons are not redeemable for cash and cannot be applied when using Gift Certificates or multi-pack credits that were bought at a discount. Gift Certificates, House Credit Certificates and multi-pack credits are not refundable and not redeemable for cash, in whole or in part. Adjustments, credits and/or refunds for discount codes not entered at the time of ordering will not be issued.

13. Turnaround times for test results are only provided as an estimate based on information provided by Quest Diagnostics/LabCorp as applicable. Private MD Labs doesn't have any control over turnaround times and thus cannot guarantee that they'll be respected in all cases.

14. We reserve the right to change the terms and discount/credit amounts of the referral program at any time. If you already referred a friend and we update the referral amounts, you and your friend will keep the original discount, but your future referrals will align to the updated discount/credit amounts. Referral discounts are only applied to first-time customers (which we identify in a variety of ways), and may be removed during the checkout process if we determine that the patient has already used our services. Similarly, the credit certificate to the referrer is only issued if the referred customer is a first-time customer. Orders with referral discounts are not refundable.

HIV Testing Consent (only applies when ordering an HIV test)
The purpose of this form is to document that I or my physician have requested a blood test (on blood drawn from a vein in my arm) for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). HIV is the cause of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The requested blood test(s) are used to detect HIV antibody or HIV DNA by either ICMA, Multispot Rapid Test, ELISA, Western Blot or other laboratory technology.

I have been informed that the tests can produce false positive and false negative results. I have also been informed that screening tests fail to detect anti-HIV for a period of time immediately after infection with the virus (early post-exposure period). I understand that re-testing or alternative HIV RNA testing is a recommended option if it is suspected that post exposure testing has pre-dated the required period for conversion to positive HIV status.

I acknowledge that the results of the HIV test will become part of my medical record. The confidentiality of my medical record will be maintained as per HIPAA regulations. I further understand that with my consent, my physician or other designated health care provider may review the results for medical reasons. I also understand that, as required by applicable law, positive test results must be reported to the appropriate State Health Division.

I have read the previous information and I understand it. By checking the box on the order form, I acknowledge that I have given my consent for the performance of an HIV blood test(s) and that my questions regarding this blood testing process, release of results and benefits as well as limitations of this testing have been satisfactorily answered.
