- Ulta Lab Tests – $50–$300 for comprehensive panels
- Any Lab Test Now – $100–$400
- LabCorp OnDemand – $150–$500
- Quest Diagnostics – Similar range, often insurance-eligible
Specialized Longevity/Comprehensive Services
- Function Health – ~$499/year (100+ biomarkers, membership model) ⭐ Popular choice
- InsideTracker – $500–$700 for their Ultimate plan
- Levels/Viome – $200–$400 depending on focus

Concierge/Clinic-Based
- Life Extension – $200–$600

My Recommendations:
- Best value: Function Health (broad coverage, good price)
- Budget option: Ulta Lab Tests (build your own panel)
- Most actionable insights: InsideTracker (includes recommendations)
Insurance tip: Many basic panels (cholesterol, glucose, thyroid) are covered if ordered by your doctor, potentially reducing your cost to $0–$50.
