    How we evaluated it

    Why we chose it What put it on our list 5 points
    • The lab can be checked. CMS’s CLIA database lists Quest labs in Clifton, NJ (CLIA 31D0696246) and West Hills, CA (05D0642827) as certificates of accreditation with CAP as the accrediting organization, and it lists more than 200 entries with Quest Diagnostics in the name. Quest does not say which site will run your sample.
    • A clinician group reviews the order and the results. Quest says PWNHealth and its affiliated entities review each purchase before it goes to the lab, and that a healthcare provider contacts you if results differ from expected ranges. A consult with an independent provider is included.
    • Prices are posted per test (seen 2026-10-22): Lp(a) $45, lipid panel $59, HbA1c $39, vitamin D $75, about $218 for the four, plus the $6 physician fee shown on each page. A lipid and Lp(a) panel is $85.
    • Quest’s consumer privacy notices say it does not sell personal information or consumer health data (health data notice updated 2025-07-31), and they describe how to ask for deletion.
    • We searched its catalog for IgG food-sensitivity panels, which the AAAAI advises against, and found only IgE allergy panels, celiac antibody tests and IgG antibody tests for infections.
    Trade-offs What to weigh before you buy 4 points
    • The $6 physician service fee, added to the test price (Lp(a) is $45), is non-refundable and shown per product. We did not test whether it repeats for each test in a cart. ApoB is sold only inside the $215 Advanced Heart Health panel; Labcorp OnDemand sells it alone.
    • Quest Consumer, which runs the site, says it is not a HIPAA-covered entity and has its own privacy notices. The lab, Quest Diagnostics, is covered by HIPAA: its notice bars selling your health information without your authorization but lets it use de-identified data for any lawful purpose. The site shares browsing data with ad partners unless you opt out.
    • A single result is a snapshot. A 2019 Cochrane review of trials of general health checks, which screen for many conditions at once, found little or no effect on deaths and judged them unlikely to be beneficial.
    • The Comprehensive and Elite profiles add a company-made health score that we did not review. Sample collection is not offered in AZ, HI or PR, according to each test page we read. Quest does not bill insurance for tests bought here, and the terms include binding arbitration and a class-action waiver.
    What to know Details worth knowing first

    Quest Health is the consumer store of Quest Diagnostics. You buy a test, a clinician group reviews the order, you give a sample at one of 2,000+ Quest sites (or pay extra for a home draw where it is offered), and results arrive by email and in MyQuest.

    It is on the list for much the same reasons as Labcorp OnDemand: CMS’s CLIA database shows Quest labs as CAP-accredited, prices are posted, and Quest says it does not sell personal or consumer health data. It adds a clinician review of results and a consult with an independent provider; the $6 fee is collected on that provider’s behalf. For the tests our guides mention, such as Lp(a), vitamin D and HbA1c (see insulin resistance), the two stores were close on 2026-10-22 once the fee is counted: Quest was cheaper for vitamin D, Labcorp for the others we compared.

    Read the privacy notices before you buy. The site and the lab are covered by different notices, and de-identified data is treated differently from your name-linked results. A result is a number, not a diagnosis; see when home remedies are not enough for when to involve a clinician.

    How Quest Health measures up against our lab & biomarker tests criteria
    What we checked What we found
    A certified lab Verified CMS lists Quest labs in Clifton, NJ and West Hills, CA as certificates of accreditation by CAP, covering routine chemistry, endocrinology, general immunology and hematology. Quest does not name the site that will run your sample.
    Clinician review Maker’s claim Quest’s how-it-works page says PWNHealth and its affiliated entities review each purchase, and a healthcare provider reviews results and contacts you if they differ from expected ranges. The terms say Quest Consumer is not involved in providing those services.
    Validated markers Maker’s claim Standard clinical tests. No epigenetic clocks. Searches of the catalog for IgG food-sensitivity tests found only IgE allergy panels, celiac antibody tests and infection antibody tests. The Comprehensive and Elite profiles add a company-made health score.
    Your data protected Maker’s claim Quest Consumer says it does not sell personal information or consumer health data. The HIPAA notice of Quest Diagnostics, the lab, bars selling protected health information without authorization but allows any lawful use of de-identified data. Deletion requests are described for consumer health data; we found no promise to delete lab records on request.
    Clear pricing Maker’s claim Each page shows the test price plus a $6 physician service fee. Blood draw at a Quest center is included; a home draw is about $79 more where offered. No membership.
    What the labels mean
    • Verified We opened an independent record that confirms it: a certifier’s listing, a regulator’s list or a lab report. It is linked under Sources.
    • Maker’s claim The maker says so on its own page or label. We read it but found no independent record.
    • Not verified We looked and could not confirm it, or the maker does not say. Treat it as unknown.

    Alternatives Other options to compare 2 options
    • Labcorp OnDemand Similar single tests on Labcorp labs. ApoB is $69 on its own, and HbA1c, lipid panel and Lp(a) cost the same or less than Quest once the $6 fee is counted; vitamin D is $99. It calls you only about results needing prompt attention.
    • Your own clinician If you have symptoms, a family history or another medical reason to test, a clinician can order the tests and explain the results.
