Do I need to fast for a thyroid blood test?
Not for the Advanced Thyroid Test: i-screen's page for it says no fasting is needed, and asks you to stop biotin supplements 72 hours before the draw. Each test's own instructions are at the bottom of its page on i-screen's site, and i-screen's FAQ says to follow those before visiting the collection centre.
How ordering works
- Order the test online. No GP referral is needed.
- For a blood, urine or breath test, i-screen emails a pathology request form; take it, printed, with ID to one of its affiliated collection centres. No appointment is needed.
- Results are published to your i-screen dashboard, and you are emailed when they are ready.
i-screen's FAQ says the price on its website includes all fees and charges, and that no Medicare card is needed. A non-designated collection centre may accept the form but will bill you again.
