No one has answered you so I am going to try. You will need to consult a physician to get an order for lab work and then take the order to a private lab. We use Quest Labs. They are all over The Villages but we use the one in Palm Ridge, across from the High School and behind Lang Eye Center. The lab will send the results to the doctor you consult.
Our insurance covers the lab work but you could go in and ask them whether your insurance from Scotland can be used. They don't ever seem to answer a phone and the service is walk in, first come, first served.
Good health to you both.
