I've been struggling to get this Hep B stuff done for almost 2 years now. I'll spare you guys the details, but I have finally gotten the last shot in the series and it's time to get my titer. But of course, my doctor's office (who said they were going to place the order for the titer a month ago, and didn't) is now not responding to my requests for a titer order. Meanwhile, my school is just about ready to kick me out for being non-compliant for so long.

Is there any way for me to get a hep B titer without an order from my doctor? Obviously I'm going to keep calling my doctor's office but I have absolutely no faith in them at this point, they are half the reason I'm in this situation in the first place.

there are shady companies online that will allow you to order any medical lab test you want.

On the flip side why are you not going to the student health center. They probably do this all the time and know exactly which test is needed. If you are buying the school insurance it is probably cheaper as well. Had a similar issue and they sorted me out .

Holy crap I completely forgot about student health!! I don't have the student health insurance and I avoid the place like the plague due to some extremely bad experiences in undergrad, but that would be perfect for this!

Absolutely, get your titers and vaccines too at student health center!
 
My school's student health offers these services if you absolutely cannot get it from your doctor. The school would rather help you through this than kick you out simply for noncompliance.

Unfortunately my school has been the opposite of helpful with this issue. I've been emailing back and forth with them for almost 2 years now and it's been a total mess, they couldn't even decide on what the actual requirement was. And then they apparently decided on a requirement but didn't tell anyone...and then got angry with me when I didn't meet this unspoken requirement on time. I'm pretty much on my own here. But hopefully it will all be over soon!
