Who this is for

If you want the labs without joining anything.

Open-Access Labs are for adults who want comprehensive testing with real physician interpretation — before, instead of, or on the way to a treatment relationship.

The patient doing their own homework

You’ve read about ApoB, HOMA-IR, free testosterone, HbA1c trajectories. You want the data and a physician to explain what it means in your specific clinical context.

The patient exploring TRT or Metabolic

You’re considering hormone optimization or metabolic therapy but not ready to enroll. Order the panel, read the interpretation, decide from there. If you do enroll, your lab purchase credits toward the first month.

The patient whose PCP won’t order these

Your primary care physician runs the basics — CBC, BMP, lipids — and calls it complete. You want the advanced markers: ApoB, Vitamin D, B12, free and bioavailable testosterone, inflammation. Order them directly.

The patient tracking a trajectory

You’re already on a metabolic or hormone protocol elsewhere and want independent monitoring. Quarterly Metabolic Monitoring panel, written interpretation, no treatment commitment.

Three tiers

Labs. Interpretation. Or interpretation plus a consult.

Every panel is orderable at any tier. Pick the level of physician involvement you want. Upgrade later if you need more.

Labs + raw results

The panel is ordered through Empower Med, drawn at Quest, and the raw lab report is delivered to you. No written interpretation, no consult.

PriceListed patient price

Labs + physician interpretation

Tier A plus a written physician interpretation. What each value means for you, what patterns matter, and what would be the logical next step if you wanted one. Default tier.

PriceListed patient price + $50

Tier B + 15-minute consult

Tier B plus a 15-minute scheduled virtual consult with a physician to discuss the results in real time. Questions, context, what you’d do with the information.

Available panels

Six panels. Transparent tier pricing.

Every panel is built to answer a specific clinical question — not a “big list” upsold as comprehensive. The table below shows the Tier A patient price. Tier B adds $50 for written physician interpretation. Tier C adds another $49 for a live 15-minute consultation, for $99 above the listed Tier A price. The Cortisol & DHEA-S panel gives you a baseline measurement of your stress hormones and adrenal reserve. A more comprehensive saliva-based four-point collection (morning, noon, afternoon, and evening) is available upon request for patients who want to map their full cortisol curve across the day.

Tier A uses the listed patient price. Tier B adds $50 for written physician interpretation. Tier C adds another $49 for a 15-minute consultation. Interpretation and consultation fees cover physician review, written analysis, and discussion of the results.

Collection methods

Where the blood draw actually happens.

Order the panel through Empower Med, draw the blood at a Quest Patient Service Center, results flow back through the practice for interpretation.

Quest DiagnosticsTraditional blood draw at any Quest Patient Service Center. Currently the standard collection method.Patient chooses a convenient Quest location and time.
Tasso+ at-home collectionAt-home capillary collection kit (coming soon). Patients can express interest when ordering; the practice notifies when the integration is live.No needles, no trip to a Quest center.

If labs lead you to treatment

Your panel credits forward.

The Open-Access Lab Service is a standalone diagnostic, not a hidden upsell. But if the results lead you into treatment, your lab purchase becomes your entry point.

Metabolic OptimizationLab customers receive a $100 credit toward the first Metabolic order fee. Net physician fee at enrollment: $25.Any panel qualifies.
Male Hormone (TRT)Male Hormone panel customers receive a $165 credit against first month of TRT physician care. First month ($149) covered in full; remaining $16 rolls to cycle 2.Only the Male Hormone panel qualifies.
Female Hormone (HRT)No lab credit by design. HRT entry is symptom-driven and cardiovascular-risk-driven, not lab-driven.A lab panel doesn’t predict HRT appropriateness.

Scope of service

What Open-Access Labs is, and isn’t.

The Open-Access Lab Service is a diagnostic service — not a treatment relationship. It exists so patients can get comprehensive labs with real physician interpretation without having to enroll in a clinical program first.

What you get: the panel ordered, drawn at Quest, results delivered, tier-selected interpretation (written or consult), and critical-result notification in the event of clinically concerning values.
What you don’t get (unless you enroll): ongoing treatment, prescription authorization, protocol design, medication titration, or continuous clinical oversight.
If results are abnormal: you are responsible for follow-up care with your Primary Care Manager or a qualified treating physician. Empower Med will notify you of critical values, but cannot substitute for ongoing care outside an enrolled program.
If you want treatment: enroll in Metabolic Optimization, Male Hormone (TRT), or Female Hormone (HRT). Conversion credits above apply.

Order terms and the service waiver are presented during the ordering flow before payment. Nothing on this page commits you to anything — it’s here so you know exactly what the service is before you order.
