Metabolon

Short answer: it depends a lot on what you mean by “full.” Expect anything from tens of dollars (basic tests with insurance) up to several thousand dollars (research‑grade metabolomics/proteomics). Below are typical categories, ballpark costs, and companies to consider. Typical price ranges Basic clinical panel (CBC, CMP, lipid panel, A1c, TSH, hs‑CRP): $20–$200 if billed to insurance (copay/coinsurance); $40–$250 out‑of‑pocket at major labs. Comprehensive clinical panel (adds vitamin D, B12, iron/ferritin, full thyroid panel, sex hormones, inflammatory markers): $150–$800 out‑of‑pocket depending on tests. Advanced cardiovascular/metabolic panels (NMR Lipoprofile, apolipoproteins, advanced inflammatory markers): $100–$600. Direct‑to‑consumer wellness packages (home blood draws + online dashboard): $79–$399 per package. Research‑grade metabolomics/proteomics/genomics (deep biomarker profiling): $1,000–$5,000+. Recommended providers (why) Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp — large national networks, accept physician orders and insurance, widest test menus and local draw centers. HealthLabs / DirectLabs / AnyLabTestNow — lower‑cost direct order lab testing (you order specific panels and pay out‑of‑pocket; good for price shopping). Everlywell and LetsGetChecked — consumer home‑sample kits and quick results; convenient if you want simple wellness checks without seeing a doctor. InsideTracker and WellnessFX — comprehensive packages with interpretation and lifestyle recommendations; good if you want coaching/insights. Boston Heart Diagnostics — specialist for advanced cardiac risk testing (if you want in‑depth heart disease biomarkers). Metabolon and SomaLogic — research/clinical labs for metabolomics/proteomics; expensive but very comprehensive. Other things to know Insurance: many routine biomarkers are covered with a physician order—your out‑of‑pocket cost depends on your plan’s lab benefits. Doctor’s order vs DTC: physician‑ordered tests usually cost less to you (insurance) and include clinical follow‑up; DTC is convenient but often fully self‑pay. Additional costs: office visit, phlebotomy fees, and specialist interpretation may add to cost. Turnaround: simple panels often 1–3 days; advanced or mailed home kits 3–10 days; research tests longer. If you tell me which biomarkers you want measured (e.g., lipids + A1c + vitamin D + hormones; or full metabolic + advanced lipoprotein + inflammation) or whether you have insurance, I can recommend a specific package and give current pricing options.

Short answer: it depends a lot on which biomarkers you mean. A “basic” full panel (CBC + metabolic panel + lipid panel) can cost $30–$200. A much larger “comprehensive” or functional panel (extended hormones, inflammatory markers, micronutrients, insulin, advanced cardiac markers, etc.) typically runs $150–$1,500+. Metabolomics or very specialized testing is often $1,000+. Breakdown with typical price ranges and examples Basic clinical panel (CBC, comprehensive metabolic panel, lipid panel, HbA1c): $30–$200 out of pocket if you order directly; often $0–$50 with insurance depending on your plan. Expanded preventive panel (adds thyroid tests, vitamin D, hs‑CRP, fasting insulin): $100–$400. Hormone or fertility panels (full sex‑hormone or adrenal panels): $150–$600. Micronutrient panels (e.g., SpectraCell micronutrient testing): $200–$700. Advanced cardiac markers (Lp(a), ApoB, advanced lipoprotein testing): $75–$400. Metabolomics / deep biomarker profiling (research‑grade, large panels): often $1,000+. Where to get them and specific services (and why) QuestDirect / Labcorp OnDemand: large test menus, nationwide lab network, decent pricing for common clinical tests — good if you want standard bloodwork without a doctor visit. InsideTracker: curated panels for performance and aging with clear actionable recommendations and coaching options — good if you want lifestyle guidance tied to results. -WellnessFX: detailed dashboards and clinician review plus coaching — good for people wanting interpretation and follow‑up. Everlywell / LetsGetChecked: at‑home sample kits and easy ordering; convenient for common hormone, STIs, thyroid, and vitamin D tests. LetsGetChecked includes medical review. Thorne: sells at‑home test kits and pairs testing with clinical‑grade supplement recommendations (good for functional health customers). SpectraCell: known for comprehensive micronutrient testing (higher cost). Metabolon and other research labs: for full metabolomic profiling (expensive; mostly research/clinical specialty). Insurance and physician ordering If tests are ordered by your doctor for a medical reason, many are covered (subject to deductible/copay). If you buy direct‑to‑consumer tests, you usually pay full price out of pocket. Costs vary by lab, location, whether a phlebotomy visit is needed, and your insurance plan. If you want a recommendation If you want a medically comprehensive, low‑cost start: ask your primary care doctor for CBC, CMP, lipid panel, HbA1c, TSH, and vitamin D (likely covered). If you want convenient, consumer‑facing testing + interpretation: consider InsideTracker or WellnessFX. If you want an at‑home kit for specific biomarkers: Everlywell or LetsGetChecked. Would you like a price estimate for a specific set of biomarkers (e.g., cardiometabolic, hormones, micronutrients, or full preventive panel)? I can give a more precise cost and recommend the best vendor.
