What are the costs associated with advanced specialty testing?

Specialty tests go beyond standard bloodwork to assess things like allergies, cortisol, genetics, microbiome health, and toxic metal levels, and may use saliva, urine, or stool samples instead of blood. They're always optional, and your clinician will only recommend one if it's genuinely useful for your care.

What do they cost? Most specialty tests range from $180 - $550 and are billed directly to you, since they're typically not covered by insurance. That said, there are a few ways to offset the cost:

• FSA/HSA funds can usually be applied
• Out-of-network reimbursement may be available depending on your plan
• Corporate wellness plans may cover these tests — if yours does, we can provide an invoice for reimbursement

Your care team will always share pricing upfront so there are no surprises.

What if it's not in my budget? Please let us know. Your care team will work around it, your care plan will be tailored to what works for you, and recommendations are never based on anything other than what's best for your health.
