The Test Grade. The Reason Behind It.

Potentially useful for the right buyer, with meaningful evidence, coverage, transparency, access, cost, terms, or privacy tradeoffs to review.

A lower grade does not mean a panel is a bad personal fit. Your Fit Score can be higher when its purpose, price, sample, access, or support matches what you need.

Reading the labels

What Has Been Checked?

Source collected

Evidence labels stay separate from the Test Grade. They show how much source support exists for the evaluation.

The balance

The Strengths. The Tradeoffs.

Strengths

  • Measures cholesterol fractions, triglycerides and the HDL/LDL ratio for a lipid profile.
  • Order online for healthcare-provider review and approval, then visit a Quest location for blood collection. A healthcare-provider office visit is not required.

Watch-outs

  • VLDL is calculated. The exact LDL method and reporting formulas require confirmation.
  • The exact performing laboratory, assay-specific validation and an actual sample report have not been assessed.
  • Available to eligible US residents with a valid US driver license or state-issued ID, excluding Hawaii, US territories, New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island. Massachusetts collection may be refused under local billing arrangements; confirm the draw location before paying.
  • Results typically arrive within 14 business days. Approximately two weeks is a general estimate, and timing can vary with test or panel complexity. These estimates do not include consultation timing.
  • Marek adds a $10 venipuncture fee to orders of $199 or less and waives it on orders over $199. No additional payment is required at the lab. Lab sales are final and non-refundable.
