Prices last checked September 28, 2026 on each company's own website. Prices change often, and sales come and go, so confirm the price at checkout. "All five" is the five tests ordered separately in one order, including one required fee. *For Quest, we saw the fee but did not confirm whether it is charged once per order; totals assume once. Not checked: Labcorp OnDemand (site unavailable on the check date). Private MD Labs prices are for its Quest Diagnostics versions of each test; its Labcorp versions are separate products with their own prices. Ulta Lab Tests' location finder listed mostly Quest Diagnostics patient service centers, plus some independent draw sites that charge an extra "premium draw fee" ($30 and $40 at the two we saw), so pick a Quest location to pay only the prices shown. Ulta Lab Tests prices were checked by hand on September 25, 2026. Private MD Labs: code GLPSCREEN gives 15% off, per its affiliate program on September 25, 2026 (our affiliate code; prices shown do not include it).
