Basic/Affordable/Comprehensive Bloodwork

[Photon]

I was looking to do the "Athletic Ultimate Anti-Aging Panel (LC/MS/MS)" with Privatemdlabs as it was a pretty comprehensive baseline, they charge $459 (or ~1500 if you add the tests individually). Looking at GoodLabs, the total for the same tests (both use quest) is $246 + $12 lab fee.

Comparison below for the individual costs

Not sure about Quest for Fitomics, but LC has better price if i recall.
I no longer hold membership so I don't know some of the prices.
Might be the Quest competitor to DrSays(LC) and Fitomics(LC).

That $30 membership fee is supposed to become $50 but I'm not sure if its fully implemented yet.

Honestly really good prices pre 20% coupon. Not sure if they will maintain it but hopefully they will.

Yeah it looks like a pretty good all around pricing. Im biased towards quest since there's one way closer to my house vs LC and have always had way better experiences.

I prefer Quest as Labcorp links the previous result to the lab report. So my Dr will see things i may not want him to see.

When I went in to see my brand new nephrologist, it seems like he had my entire lab report history for the year at his fingertips. I haven't had a chance to look into this more.

Is this Q or LC?

Maybe i need to switch to Quest..

I'll ask my doc next month..

It just makes the conversation more spicy since I’m in the process of firing his ass as my doctor.

No

This is how it's gone so far. Not sure if or where the limits are, but:

I signed up and got a code. Shared it with one person. They entered the code and got a discount AND I also got a discount.

Second person asked for my code. They entered it and got a discount and I got a second discount.

That second person sent their code to me, I entered it in my account and got a fucking third discount.

If you want to use all of the codes, it looks like you can pre-purchase the tests with the discount codes before they expire and when you are ready to test, you can schedule the appointment.



For sure annoying they don't let you bank them but atleast there is a way to be able to use them if you want to pay up front.

Anyone have any luck or have heard of bio reference as a lab? Goodlabs will not let me choose quest or lc because of the state I live in
