Cost Per Biomarker: Every Blood Test Plan, Counted by Hand

This page is about counts and prices only. It says nothing about what any marker means for you, or which markers you need. Those are questions for a clinician. Every plan is scored on the best blood tests page, and yearly prices alone are on our price page.

Every plan, cheapest per measured marker first

The table holds every plan with an all-in price and 20 or more measured markers. Each price links to the seller's own page.

A plan with a low figure is not a better test. It is a low price for a count, and two plans with the same count can hold different markers. Our biomarker table shows which plans include which marker, for the plans it covers.

How we count

We read each seller's published marker list and map every line to one set of marker names. The same rules apply to every plan:

Standard panels are expanded using the definitions in the Quest test directory when a seller names a panel without listing its lines. Our methodology page has the full scoring, and the published coverage data is at /data/biomarkers.csv.

Why our count differs from the seller's

Seller counts are not wrong because they are higher. They count something else: lines on a report. Ours counts distinct things a lab measured. Here are the two counted most recently, by hand, from the lists on their own pages on November 7, 2026:

Some lines are close calls. We follow how our marker list already treats them: LDL cholesterol counts as measured though many labs calculate it, and bioavailable testosterone counts as measured. A different call on one or two lines moves a plan's figure by cents. It would not change the order at the top of the table.

What the number leaves out

Cost per measured marker is one input to our score, not the score. Price carries 30 percent of it. Here is what the figure does not show:

• Clinician review. Some prices include a clinician's review of results. On some plans it costs extra or is not offered. Each review page says which.
• Draws per year. Function Health's membership includes two draws. A second draw adds no new markers to our count, so the figure treats it as nothing, though you do get it.
• State prices. Superpower publishes a higher price for New York and New Jersey. WHOOP says NY, NJ and RI residents pay an extra lab fee at the appointment. See the New York and New Jersey cost guide.
• Which markers. A list of 66 and a list of 86 can overlap heavily or barely. Check any marker you were asked to test on our biomarker pages.
• Lab quality. Every plan here uses an outside lab, and every US lab testing human samples needs a CLIA certificate you can look up on the CMS QCOR lookup.

Plans not in the table

Three kinds of plan stay out rather than get a figure we cannot stand behind:

The fee case matters. Goodlabs lists 68 measured markers by our count on its Comprehensive panels, and we can divide those list prices, but the result would understate what you pay. We will add it when the fee amount is published.

How to use this table

Start from what you were asked to test or want to track, not from the lowest number. Then:

1. Find plans that include those markers, on our biomarker pages.
2. Compare their yearly price and cost per measured marker here.
3. Check state rules and clinician review on the review page.
4. For a short list of markers, price them one at a time in our guide to ordering your own tests, which often costs less than a broad panel.
