Short answer: it depends a lot on what you mean by “full.” Prices range from about $20–$200 for basic bloodwork up to $300–$1,000+ for very comprehensive panels, and $2,000–$10,000 for advanced proteomics/genomics or executive physicals. More detail and concrete options 1) Basic clinical panels (CBC, CMP/metabolic panel, lipid panel, HbA1c, TSH) Typical cash cost: $20–$150. Where: Quest Diagnostics or Labcorp (widely available; insurance often covers when ordered by a clinician). Why choose: cheap, commonly used, and usually a good first step for overall health screening. 2) Expanded “wellness” panels (adds vitamin D, B12, ferritin, CRP, insulin, extra hormones) Typical cost: $100–$400. Where: Direct-to-consumer services like InsideTracker, WellnessFX, Everlywell, LetsGetChecked. Why choose: convenient, includes interpretation and personalized recommendations (InsideTracker and WellnessFX emphasize science-backed recommendations). 3) Micronutrients, fatty acids, and specialty nutrition tests Typical cost: $200–$500. Where: SpectraCell (micronutrient testing), OmegaQuant (fatty acids). Why choose: useful when you suspect deficiencies not captured by standard labs. 4) Advanced cardiovascular and hormone testing (NMR lipoprotein profile, ApoB, advanced inflammatory markers, full sex-steroid panels) Typical cost: $150–$600. Where: Labcorp/Quest for many advanced tests; DUTCH Test (Precision Analytical) for comprehensive hormone metabolites. Why choose: if you need finer cardiovascular risk stratification or detailed hormone metabolism info. 5) Proteomics / large biomarker discovery / multi-omics Typical cost: $2,000–$10,000+. Where: SomaLogic (SomaScan), Olink, research/clinical specialty labs. Why choose: research-grade, not generally needed for routine health management. 6) Executive/annual physical packages Typical cost: $500–$3,000+, varies by clinic and included tests/imaging. Where: private clinics, concierge medicine providers. Why choose: includes imaging, specialist consults and a broad battery of tests. Practical tips Insurance: many tests are covered when ordered by a clinician for a medical reason; direct-to-consumer kits typically aren’t covered. If cost is a concern, start with core labs (CBC, CMP, lipid, HbA1c, TSH, vitamin D) then add targeted tests based on those results and symptoms. Ask for lab test CPT codes and shop cash prices at Quest/Labcorp or use online price-comparison tools. If you tell me what you want to screen for (general wellness, hormones, cardiovascular risk, nutrient deficiencies, or a specific symptom), I can recommend a specific package and give a tighter price estimate.
