What a titer test is
A titer test is a blood test that looks for antibodies. Antibodies are proteins your body makes after a vaccine or an infection to fight a germ. A titer shows whether you have them, which is why schools, employers and travel rules often ask for one as proof of immunity.
MedlinePlus says an IgG antibody test can "show whether you are immune (protected against infection) to measles and mumps because you had a vaccination or a past infection" (MedlinePlus, read 13 Nov 2026). IgG is the kind of antibody that tends to stay in the blood for a long time.
This page covers price and where to order. What a result means for you is a question for your clinician.
Titer test price by seller
Read from each seller's own page. Fee on top is what the seller adds beyond the list price.
| Test | Seller | Price | Fee on top | Read on | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) | Labcorp OnDemand | $139 | None shown | Nov 13, 2026 | Labcorp |
| MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) | Quest Health | $142.00 | $6.00 physician service fee | Nov 13, 2026 | Quest Health |
| Chickenpox (varicella) | Labcorp OnDemand | $69 | None shown | Nov 13, 2026 | Labcorp |
| Chickenpox (varicella) | Quest Health | $65.00 | $6.00 physician service fee | Nov 13, 2026 | Quest Health |
| Hepatitis B immunity | Labcorp OnDemand | $89 | None shown | Nov 13, 2026 | Labcorp |
| Hepatitis B panel with confirmation | Quest Health | $99.00 | $6.00 physician service fee | Nov 13, 2026 | Quest Health |
The two hepatitis B rows are not the same test. Quest's page describes a panel that checks for infection and for immunity, so compare the test names on each page before you choose. Quest Health's pages say "HSA/FSA Accepted." Other lab stores may list titers too; we could not read a current page for them, so we left them out instead of guessing.
For the same store-by-store method on other tests, see the PSA test cost guide, the TB blood test cost guide and the no-insurance price hub.
MMR titer
MMR stands for measles, mumps and rubella. Rubella is also called German measles. Labcorp describes its test this way: "This titer test can be used to determine your immunity for measles, mumps and rubella antibodies developed either by previous exposure or vaccination." One blood draw covers all three.
Quest Health says its MMR test "measures your blood for IgG antibodies to help evaluate your immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella via prior infection or vaccination." Its page lists school, work and travel proof as common reasons to order it.
Hepatitis B and varicella titers
A hepatitis B titer checks your antibody level against the hepatitis B virus, which affects the liver. Health care jobs and some schools ask for it. Labcorp lists a Hepatitis B Immunity Test, and Quest lists a panel that also checks for infection.
A varicella titer checks immunity to the virus that causes chickenpox. Quest says its test may not show full future protection, so the result is one piece of information to discuss with your clinician.
Who can order a titer without a doctor
Both stores add a clinician review at checkout, so no doctor visit is needed. You then give a sample at a Labcorp or Quest location. Quest Health says collection is not available in AZ, HI or PR. Labcorp's pages we read list no excluded states, but state rules can change what a store sells where you live. Our state guide and ordering your own blood test explain the rules.
If your employer or school needs the result, ask first whether they accept a result from a self-ordered test. Some want a form from a clinic instead.
Insurance, HSA and FSA
Lab stores sell at a self-pay price. Quest Health's titer pages say HSA and FSA cards are accepted. Labcorp's pages have an HSA/FSA line, so confirm at checkout. Our HSA and FSA guide covers what each seller says.

How much is an MMR titer test?
Labcorp OnDemand lists its MMR immunity test at $139. Quest Health lists $142 plus a $6 fee, so $148 in total. Both were read November 13, 2026.
What is the cost of a hepatitis B titer?
Labcorp OnDemand lists a Hepatitis B Immunity Test at $89 (read November 13, 2026). Quest Health lists a broader hepatitis B panel at $99 plus a $6 fee, read the same day. These are different tests, so read each page before comparing the prices.

Can I get an immunity blood test for school or work without a doctor?
Yes, through a lab-test store. Both Labcorp OnDemand and Quest Health add a clinician review, so you do not need a visit. Ask your school or employer whether it accepts a self-ordered result, since some require a specific form.
Does a titer test show if I need a vaccine?
That is a question for your clinician, not for this page. A titer shows whether antibodies were found in your blood. Which steps to take next depends on your history, your job and your health, so share the result with a clinician.
Does insurance cover a titer test?
Coverage depends on your plan and on a clinician ordering the test. Lab stores are self-pay, and Quest Health's pages say HSA and FSA cards are accepted. See our HSA and FSA guide for details. Compare every seller on the price page or the best blood tests page.
