Vitals Vault

A full biomarker panel typically costs $200 to $400 through direct-to-consumer membership services, while assembling a comparable panel from individual tests without insurance can range from $108 to over $1,100. Pricing by Service Type Provider Type Cost Range Example Details Membership Services $200–$375 (annual) Function Health charges $365/year for ~160+ tests (100 unique biomarkers) twice a year [1][6][8]. Competitors like Power Optimized Health and Good offer similar panels for approximately $200 [1]. A Vitals Vault Black Friday offer was $99 for 100+ biomarkers via Quest [1]. Individual Lab Panels $249–$651 Bwell Labs sells a 31-biomarker "Wellness Profile" for $249 [2]. A custom Men's Health Test (comprehensive) costs $651 via Labcorp OnDemand [10]. DIY Individual Tests $108–$1,139+ Without insurance, common individual tests (CBC, CMP, Lipid, Thyroid, etc.) range from $29–$99 each [3][7]. Combining these for a "full" panel often totals $108–$1,139, depending on the facility and location [3][5]. Key Considerations Biomarker Count vs. Price: Lower prices (e.g., $99–$150) often cover fewer unique biomarkers (e.g., 31–100) compared to premium services offering 100+ unique markers [1][2]. Insurance Impact: If you have insurance and meet your deductible, copays for standard panels typically range from $20–$100, and many tests may be covered at no cost [3]. Physician Fees: Some discount labs (e.g., Walk-In Lab) add a $6 physician fee per order [4]. For the most cost-effective access to a comprehensive panel (100+ biomarkers), Function Health ($365/year) or similar competitors in the $200 range are currently the most competitive options compared to paying for individual tests [1][6].

A full biomarker panel typically costs between $100 and $400 for a comprehensive, single-service offering, though prices can range up to $1,139 depending on the provider and the number of biomarkers included. Key Pricing Examples by Provider: Provider Cost Biomarkers Included Notes Function Health $365–$375/year ~100 unique (tested as 160+ annually) Tests twice a year; marketed as $365, previously $499 [1][5][7] Vitals Vault (Quest via Black Friday offer) $99 100+ (basic package) Advertised as 160+, but basic starts at 100 [1] GoodRx / Labcorp OnDemand $29–$99 per test Single tests (e.g., CBC, CMP, TSH) Full panel built by adding tests; not a single pre-packaged panel [6] bWell Labs $150–$249 31–7 biomarkers (wellness/hormone panels) Specific wellness profiles, not a full "all-biomarker" panel [2] CURA4U / General Market (no insurance) $108–$1,139 Variable (depends on test combo) Full blood panels can cost thousands if multiple tests are ordered [3][4] Important Considerations: "Full biomarker panel" is not standardized: Some companies count total tests (e.g., Function’s 160+), not unique biomarkers (~100 meaningful ones) [1]. Insurance impact: With insurance and a met deductible, copays are often $20–$100 per panel; Medicare may cover medically necessary tests at no cost [3]. Affordable alternatives: Services like Function Health (~$365) and Vitals Vault ($99) offer significant savings compared to building a panel via Labcorp OnDemand or individual tests [1][6]. Recommendation: For a cost-effective, comprehensive option, Function Health at $365/year or Vitals Vault at $99 (if available) are strong choices. If you need a custom panel, use Labcorp OnDemand or Quest but expect to pay $200–$600+ when combining multiple tests [6][8][9].

A full biomarker panel typically costs between $365 and $500 if purchased through dedicated wellness services like Function Health, while direct-to-consumer options from major labs (Quest, Labcorp) can range from $99 to over $600 depending on the number of biomarkers included. Key Pricing Breakdown by Service: Service Provider Annual Cost Biomarkers Included Notes Function Health $365 (~$199/year with 2-year deal) ~100 unique biomarkers (160+ tests annually via re-testing) Market leader; includes 1 annual + 1 mid-year panel [1][6] Vitals Vault (Quest) $99 (Black Friday promo) ~100 biomarkers Basic package; higher tiers cost $160+ [1] SuperPower $199 Basic membership Supplement recommendations can add $300–$400/month (totaling $1,400+/year) [2] Outlive Biology $250/month ($3,000/year) Quarterly testing + coaching Includes prescriptions (TRT, GLP-1, HRT) [2] Labcorp OnDemand $450–$619 custom panels Variable (e.g., Men’s Health: ~50+ biomarkers) Per-test pricing: ~$75; custom packages vary [8][9] Walk-In Lab $29+ (CMP-14) Limited (basic metabolic) Physician fee: +$6/order; not a "full" panel [7] Important Considerations: Hidden Costs: Advertised prices often exclude add-ons (e.g., toxins, heavy metals: +$179/test) or mandatory supplement programs [2]. Frequency Matters: Testing 1–2x/year reveals trends (real insight), while yearly-only testing gives just a snapshot [2]. Without Insurance: Common individual panels (e.g., CBC, CMP) cost $29–$99, but a custom full biomarker panel can exceed $1,139 if not bundled [3][4]. With Insurance: If deductible is met, copays range $20–$100 per panel; Medicare often covers medically necessary tests at no cost [3]. Recommendation: For the best value, Function Health ($365/year) is ideal if you want comprehensive, twice-yearly tracking without aggressive supplement upsells. If budget is tight, Vitals Vault (Quest) at $99 works for basic biomarker screening, but verify it covers your specific needs before upgrading. Avoid services like SuperPower if you’re sensitive to high-cost supplement recommendations, and be cautious of Outlive Biology ($3,000/year) unless you need integrated prescription management. Always confirm whether the price includes unique biomarkers (meaningful data) or just total tests (repeated measurements), as some services inflate counts via re-testing [1].
