Does anyone know how you can get either a cheap or free blood type test done?
Here is the story:
My current doctor wants me to get a Rhogam shot because I am o negative. My last doctor had my husband blood typed instead of me getting the Rhogam shot. My husband is also o negative, so the Rhogam shot is unnecessary. I think it is ridiculous to get the Rhogam shot when I don't need it. My husband is not from oklahoma and has never donated blood in our state. I can get my blood tests from OBI, but Missouri doesn't appear to give you history online in the same manner. His birth certificate does not state his blood type. My husband is also on heart medication and therefore cannot go donate blood right now to get the free blood type test. We are a little strapped for money, and the Rhogam shot would be covered by insurance (but I don't want it). His doctor said it would cost him $130 to get a blood type report. My doctor said she would waive the shot if we can get a preoffesional blood type test on him.
Is it possible to get a blood type test from OBI without donating?
Can you get a free blood type test at the health department?
Are there any cheap licensed places that can do blood testing near oklahoma city?
Thanks in advance for your help.
