The only cravat is that some private labs may allow you to self-pay for testing if you are do not meet MSP criteria for testing. However, this still requires a physician's order.
Most urine tests do not require you to be fasting.

When I got my blood test several months ago, I asked my family doctor to tick down the tests I want done. If you ask nicely, I'm sure they'll do it. It costs them nothing, benefits them no more or less, only helps you.
Blood tests require requisition from your physician and most doctors/physician use BC BioMed. The only blood test that I know of that doesn't require requisition is STI/STD testing.
