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.

Named measurements

Measured categories and focus areas

  • Cardiovascular
  • Genetics
  • Cholesterol

Important limits and omissions

  • Exact offer page names no performing laboratory and no assay method; Quest Diagnostics appears only as brand metadata, not as a named testing route for this exact offer.
  • Page hero shows a "Test Today for $1, Pay Balance After Results" promotion; rendered hero after-results amount differs from the authoritative Offer JSON-LD price; price taken from exact-product JSON-LD.
  • Provider-wide testing limits: tests are not available in NY, NJ, RI per provider policy; exact per-offer state list is not published.
  • Product-specific HSA and FSA eligibility or reimbursement is not confirmed; the provider documents payment-card acceptance only.
  • The provider privacy notice does not publish a fixed data-retention period.
  • Refunds are limited to the period before specimen submission, with no refund after 21 days. The money-back guarantee is conditional.
  • The exact offer does not publish a complete assay-method and analytical-performance description.

No broader panel in the Labbrary catalog lists every biomarker on this one for a lower listed price.

Counted among one-time lab-draw listings with a published price, matched by published biomarker names. That doesn’t mean the tests are equivalent. Updated October 2, 2026.

The full breakdown

Eight Dimensions.
One Named Result.

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

The offer names the measured marker and states no fasting is needed. The performing laboratory and analytical method are not stated.

Intended for people with a family history of early heart disease who want to check this genetic risk factor.

A single-marker test for lipoprotein(a), a genetic heart disease risk factor not detected by standard cholesterol tests. No fasting is needed.

Results are reported with reference ranges and flag values outside the expected range, so a reader can see which markers are high or low. The page does not publish interpretive guidance for this panel, so a clinician or other qualified professional should review results in context before acting on them.

The offer page names the provider, states the current self-pay price, describes what the panel measures, and publishes the provider ordering, collection, and turnaround policies. The exact performing laboratory and analytical method for this panel are not stated on the page.

This is a blood test. No fasting is needed. Results are typically available within 1 to 3 business days. Orders are placed online and specimens are collected at one of the provider roughly 4,000 Quest or Labcorp patient locations; direct-access testing is not offered in HI, NJ, NY, or RI.

The current offer price is $71 USD, confirmed on the exact offer page. Payment is self-pay by card or HSA/FSA funds; health insurance is not accepted. Orders can be cancelled before the sample is collected.

The provider publishes a privacy policy describing how personal and health information is collected, used, and protected. Results are delivered through the provider secure online account, and the page does not state additional data-sharing terms specific to this panel.

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

  • Documents a single lipoprotein(a) measurement.
  • Uses Quest collection with online result access and provider explanations.
  • Lists results within 3 business days. No fasting is required.
  • The exact offer page and purchase state document a current price of $71 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

  • Product-specific validation, precision, interference, and quality-control evidence are not fully established.
  • Abnormal results require clinical interpretation and do not establish a diagnosis from this panel alone.
  • Conflicting $89, $71 price signals prevent a confirmed current price.
  • 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.
