Unfortunate: Each State licenses their Physicians, and you will have to go to a Doctor in MA to get a prescription for a study to be performed in MA. If you have a sympathetic Doctor in MA who sees a prescription from NY, then he or she may write one for you to use in MA, but most Doctors will correctly insist on another office visit and physical in MA.
