While many labs only look at Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) to assess thyroid function, we believe it is critical to also measure Free Triiodothyronine (fT3), Free Thyroxine (fT4) and TPO antibodies.

As always, this will depend on your own coverage but we encourage you to check with your insurance company to see whether they will cover all or some of the cost of our at-home thyroid test.
When discussing coverage, it is important that your carrier understands specifically what the test is and what it is testing for. Be sure to mention the following key points:

- The report measures the above markers and reports on whether they are high, low, or within the normal healthy range.
The Paloma Health at-home kit is for both patients who have been previously diagnosed with hypothyroidism but also for people who think they might have hypothyroidism.In both cases knowing your hormone levels and making sure that they are within range is very important.
Yes. We worked with top thyroid doctors to select a panel of the most comprehensive set of biomarkers that can help patients understand their thyroid function. For each hormone you test, we’ll provide plenty of context on what the hormone is and why it’s important. The thyroid gland is complex and hormones are one (important!) piece of the puzzle.
Very! Every Paloma Health test is ordered by a doctor. A physician will also review your results before they are returned as well and your sample will be processed in a CLIA and CAP accredited lab.
Your Paloma Health report comes with personalized explanations around each thyroid hormone and what your levels mean, all in human speak.
We recommend to retest every 6months if you did not get a new prescription. If you had a recent change in dose or medication, we recommend to test after 8 weeks.You should also retest whenever you feel that the symptoms are coming back.

It was so simple and easy! I usually have to drive 2 hours to see my endocrinologists. With Paloma, I was able to see a better doctor and faster! The kit is also convenient. It took me 5 minutes to collect a sample
For the first time I have the feeling that I have a doctor who can own my care for hypothyroidism. My PCP and OBGYN were not always aligned on the best treatment for me.
I knew my regular thyroid tests were not complete. Paloma helped me to understand a lot of things regarding hypothyroidism and I love the community feature.
Paloma was really able to provide me with a personal approach to care. On top of that, Paloma Health is saving me so much time as I usually get a blood test every quarter
With Paloma, I was really able to keep track of my lab results for the first time. I can also do a blood test when I want to and I have finally the tool to monitor my condition.
My Dr has a 6 weeks wait and when you feel that the symptoms are coming back you don't want to wait. With Paloma, I was able to do a blood test, see a doctor and get a prescription so quickly.
My PCP never told me that my diet can have an impact on my condition and the severity of my symptoms. Paloma's nutritionist, Nicole, was great at creating a health plan for me.
I always felt like it takes my initiative to get in touch with a doctor and make an extra appointment. With Paloma I am on auto-pilot mode!
I love that I can see a doctor online. Before I started to use Paloma and with depression, I did not feel like going to my doctor. Frequently I called ahead of time and canceled.
For the first time, I understand my bloodwork . I could not get a referral to an endocrinologist because my PCP didn't want to make a referral. He always believed that he had it under control).
My condition was managed mostly with medication, and that's fine. But for the first time, I get a lot of advice outside of meds - diet, reducing stress, etc. There isn't much of that out there unfortunately.
I always had questions that could be answered. E.g. natural remedies, things that could help overall. Paloma providers talk about the medical side but also other aspects of care that could be helpful
