How self-pay lab testing works
- Choose a test on a seller’s website and pay online.
- The seller arranges a clinician’s order and gives you a requisition.
- Visit a collection site in the seller’s network (Quest Diagnostics or Labcorp for the sellers here). Some offer in-home collection for an extra charge.
- Results arrive through the seller’s portal. Our site has no accounts, checkout or results.
Sellers by collection network
| Seller | Collection network | Prices verified |
|---|---|---|
| Quest Health (questhealth.com) | Quest Diagnostics | Yes (listed prices) |
| Walk-In Lab | Quest Diagnostics, Labcorp | Yes (listed prices) |
| Ulta Lab Tests | Not verified | No: site blocked our checks |
| Request A Test | Not verified | No: site blocked our checks |
| HealthLabs | Quest Diagnostics | Yes (listed prices) |
| Labcorp OnDemand | Labcorp | Yes (listed prices) |
Before you pay
- Match the contents. “Thyroid panel” or “STD panel” means different things at different sellers.
- Add the fees. A per-order physician fee is charged once per order at Walk-In Lab, so combining tests in one order can lower the total.
- Check your state and age. Several sellers can’t serve NY, NJ or RI; others exclude MD, MA, AZ or HI depending on the network.
- Look for public options. For STD testing, public and nonprofit clinics may be free or income-based: see free and low-cost STD testing.
Questions about cost
Can I order blood tests online without a doctor’s visit?
Yes, in most states. The sellers listed here arrange an order from an independent or in-house clinician after you buy, so you don’t need your own doctor’s visit. Several sellers can’t serve some states, such as New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island; each offer lists its restrictions.
Are Quest and Labcorp prices different?
Quest Diagnostics and Labcorp run collection sites; most online prices are set by the seller you pay. The same seller may offer both networks at one price, and different sellers charge different amounts for tests at the same network. The table shows the lowest known listed total by network where we have one.
What fees should I look for besides the test price?
Physician or ordering fees (for example $6 per order at Walk-In Lab and a $6 physician service fee at Quest Health), collection fees, optional in-home collection charges, cancellation fees and sales tax. We add the required fees each seller discloses and show “Check provider price” when we can’t confirm them.
