Salivary Cortisol - what labs?

I need to get mine tested, as it's been over 3 years.

What labs are people using? (I understand that Quest reports only "in range" or "out of range" but lacks the actual numbers to tell if you are hi or low in that range, which we need to know)

Is insurance covering this for anyone?

Thanks.

ZRT through Canary Club is a good one that you can order on your own.

Genova also offers one that I think is reliable. This may be reimbursable if ordered by a practitioner, depending on your plan.

I would avoid Diagnostechs since I've seen many of these come back strange.

And the Labcorp version also has weird ranges.
