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.

The full breakdown

Eight Dimensions.
One Named Result.

Open any row for the reasoning and evidence behind the named result.

The exact offer page partly supports this dimension (medium confidence). Published evidence states: Named analytes/components documented; no named assay method or performing lab for this offer. Limitation: No assay method or performing laboratory named on the offer page. Evidence boundary: exact lab/method unpublished. Reopen condition: Named method/lab published for this offer.

The exact offer page supports this dimension (high confidence). Published evidence states: Page documents intended use and who should consider it (e.g. 'Basic Metabolic Panel - Kidney & Glucose Check').

The exact offer page supports this dimension (high confidence). Published evidence states: Panel components listed under 'What's included'.

The exact offer page supports this dimension (high confidence). Published evidence states: Detailed doctor notes in simple language, standard lab report, trends tracking, sample results with optimal ranges.

The exact offer page partly supports this dimension (medium confidence). Published evidence states: Price, fasting prep, timing and ordering flow documented; performing lab/method and HSA/FSA eligibility not disclosed. Limitation: No named lab, method, or HSA/FSA eligibility statement. Evidence boundary: Exact lab/method unpublished. Reopen condition: Named lab/method and eligibility published. The source map preserves the exact offer page, price capture, and provider terms used for this assessment.

The exact offer page supports this dimension (high confidence). Published evidence states: Online order; 4,000 lab locations; Quest/LabCorp route chosen at checkout; lab-visit collection.

The exact offer page partly supports this dimension (medium confidence). Published evidence states: Offer price $39 shown; cancellation pre-collection and 21-day refund terms documented. Exact offer markup not inspectable from text render; prior captured price differed. Limitation: Price confirmed from rendered offer block only; guarantee has exclusions (STD/Sickle Cell/gift). Evidence boundary: Checkout-level price verification. Reopen condition: Checkout/structured price markup confirmation. Exact USD price evidence is bound separately to the price source for this offer; HSA/FSA eligibility remains not-confirmed where the source does not name the exact offer.

The exact offer page partly supports this dimension (medium confidence). Published evidence states: Provider-wide Privacy Notice + 'We don't sell or share your data' marketing claim; HIPAA PHI definition referenced. Limitation: Offer-page privacy text is marketing; full terms are provider-wide. Evidence boundary: No offer-specific data-handling statement. Reopen condition: Offer-specific retention/sharing statement published. Provider privacy evidence is applied only as provider-wide evidence and retains the published sharing and retention limitations.

Follow the Evidence.

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

  • Names eight measured components covering electrolytes, glucose, calcium, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine, plus a calculated creatinine-based eGFR.
  • Results include explained normal ranges in the online account, with a downloadable report and trend tracking.
  • The plasma variant is available to order online for participating Quest collection.
  • The exact offer page and purchase state document a current price of $39 USD.
  • Private MD Labs arranges the physician lab order, so buyers do not need to supply their own clinician.
  • Results are delivered digitally with report context documented for this exact offer.
  • The privacy notice allows account and data deletion requests, subject to regulatory, compliance, legal, and business retention requirements.

Watch-outs

  • Current product pricing is inconsistent: $49, $39, and $30 are each shown. Confirm the price at checkout because no single amount is projected here.
  • The eGFR is calculated from creatinine, age, and sex rather than measured as a separate laboratory assay.
  • No product-specific fasting or preparation instruction is stated. Confirm the requirements provided with the laboratory order before collection.
  • Laboratory testing is unavailable in Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. Product and collection-site availability can be narrower.
  • First results are listed as available starting the next day, with complete results in 7 business days. Confirm current timing if the result date matters.
  • Evidence needed for a full quality score, including analytical validation, actual report details, comparative coverage, complete terms, and product-specific privacy details, has not been fully assessed.
  • HSA and FSA card acceptance is documented, but eligibility or reimbursement for this exact offer is not confirmed.
  • Refunds are permitted only before specimen submission and are unavailable after 21 days from payment. The 90-day money-back guarantee has first-customer, result, and test-category conditions.
  • The privacy notice permits defined laboratory and service-provider disclosures, deidentified research use with an opt-out, and third-party advertising unless the user opts out. No fixed retention period is published.
  • Private MD Labs does not offer services to residents of New York, New Jersey, or Rhode Island. Exact collection-site availability should be checked before purchase.
