In its favour
- Lowest single-test prices we track
- States CLIA certification and CAP accreditation
- Panels from three labs, including BioReference in NY and NJ
To weigh
- A per-visit draw fee is extra ($15 at Quest, $11.50 Labcorp, $9.50 BioReference), so headline test prices are not all-in.
- Member prices need a $99/yr membership; savings on one Core panel ($79.16) do not cover it.
- No refunds once labs are run.
- Clinician review does not create a doctor-patient relationship.
