Completing Lab Work or Bloodwork Before Getting a Prescription

This article explains whether Levity patients need lab work or bloodwork before receiving a prescription, whenab results may be required, what blood tests may be requested, how to upload lab results, and what to do if you do not have recent bloodwork available.


Do I need to complete lab work or bloodwork before receiving a prescription?

For most Levity patients, bloodwork is not required before starting treatment.

However, some patients may be asked to provide recent lab results to help ensure treatment is safe, appropriate, and personalized to their medical history.


When is bloodwork required?

Levity may request lab work if you:

  • Have type 2 diabetes

  • Have pre-diabetes

  • Have certain underlying medical conditions

  • Report specific symptoms or risk factors during consultation

  • Require additional clinical review

Recent lab results help Levity clinicians assess your overall health before approving treatment.


What lab tests may be requested?

Requested bloodwork may include:

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)

A Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) helps assess:

  • Kidney function

  • Liver function

  • Electrolyte balance

  • Blood glucose levels

These results help clinicians evaluate whether GLP-1 treatment is medically appropriate and safe for you.

Lipid panel

A lipid panel measures cholesterol and fat levels in the blood, including:

  • Total cholesterol

  • HDL cholesterol

  • LDL cholesterol

  • Triglycerides

These results may help identify cardiovascular risk factors or underlying metabolic concerns.


Why does Levity request bloodwork?

Lab results help Levity clinicians:

  • Assess treatment safety

  • Identify underlying medical risks

  • Review metabolic health markers

  • Personalize treatment recommendations

  • Determine whether additional monitoring is needed

Providing accurate and up-to-date lab work may help support safer prescribing decisions.


How do I submit lab work or blood test results?

If bloodwork is requested, you can securely upload your results through your Levity patient dashboard.

To upload lab results:

  1. Log in to your Levity account

  2. Open the medical records or document upload section

  3. Upload your recent lab results

  4. Submit the documents for clinical review

The Levity clinical team will review your lab work as part of your intake or follow-up consultation.


What if I do not have recent lab results?

If you do not currently have recent bloodwork available, contact the Levity Customer Care Team for guidance.

The clinical team can advise whether:

  • Updated testing is required

  • Existing records may still be acceptable

  • Additional next steps are needed before treatment approval
