We pride ourselves on having the best prices available in most U.S. states (except NY, NJ, AZ, and RI). We are also committed to educating people about what blood tests mean via our blog and education pages. We also keep our blood test menu concise and simple so that you can find what you need faster. To make it easy for you, we have also created common blood test panels ordered by physicians for different conditions.

Unfortunately, we cannot take insurance. This allows us to keep the lowest prices possible. We do not provide information for insurance processing.

The Testosterone Free and Total LC/MS-MS  test provide two measurements for Testosterone levels. Results for this test will include Free Testosterone and Total Testosterone measured by liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS-MS). 

This test is more sensitive than the one done by immunoassay and provides a more accurate measurement when total testosterone concentrations are very low (under 150 ng/dL, adequate for T testing in women) or very high (over 1500 ng/dL).

Sometimes blood test results are partially ready (only a few of your tests).We wait until your entire order lab test results are ready to send them in one single email.
