How Much Will INR Blood Tests Cost In The US?
I am currently living in UK. I get an INR blood test every week due to an accident I had in 2006. I am on also WARFARIN and the dosage depends on what the outcome of my blood test is weekly. I am planning to move to America but I am not sure if I can afford the INR test weekly and also the medication without having insurance. Can you please tell me how much this will cost me weekly? Thank you.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
INR is a test in patients who are on oral anti-coagulants like warfarin.
Since, you are on warfarin, regular INR estimation is required.
INR is a basic test and the test is inexpensive irrespective of country where it is performed.
However, it is not possible to quote the price of particular test on the forum.
But the test is absolutely necessary to monitor effect on warfarin.
Thanks and take care
