Testing
Please bring any test results or other documentation you have with you to your visit. Dr. Lindner
cannot order any tests prior to your initial visit since a doctor-patient relationship has not been
established. Local patients should arrange an initial consultation with Dr. Lindner. He will order
the appropriate tests which are usually covered by insurance. The results can be discussed in
a second visit. Long distance patients may prefer to have results available at the first
consultation. Links for self-ordering the usual blood and saliva tests can be found below. If the
tests are not done in advance, Dr. Lindner will order the tests at the initial visit and the results
can be discussed by phone. Tests ordered by Dr. Lindner are generally covered by insurance,
unless the patient is in an HMO, where tests can only be ordered by certain doctors. You may
be able to get your personal physician to order the blood tests, but they will often not want to
order them since they do not understand their purpose. When they do order tests they often will
not order all of them or will order them incorrectly. If your doctor is willing to order the 4-
collection saliva cortisol profile from LabCorp, you'll have to get LabCorp's 4-tube salivary
testing kit #38330G from the local LabCorp patient center.
Saliva Cortisol Profile (CPT 82533 x4, or 502124)
This test is necessary for anyone who suffers from any of the following: chronic fatigue,
widespread pain, fibromyalgia, depression, recurrent nausea, insomnia, or low blood
pressure. After your initial consultation, Dr. Lindner can order a saliva cortisol profile to be done
at Labcorp or Quest Diagnostics, and this will be covered by most insurance policies. To get
the test prior to an appointment, Dr. Lindner recommends that you purchase a kit through ZRT
labs. (866-600-1636). At the ZRT website order the Diurnal cortisol x4 for $138. For cortisol
testing only, you need to collect saliva only up to the 2nd line in each tube (2 milliliters)--not fill
them 3/4s full as per ZRT's directions. Collect the four specimens: 30 mins. after awakening,
right before lunch, right before dinner, and right before bedtime. Residents of New York and
California cannot self-order tests. Contact our office if you are from NY and want to do the ZRT
saliva test.
