Empirical Health

Built around cardiovascular risk rather than general wellness, which is why ApoB and Lp(a) are in the base panel instead of being upsells. Publishes its full marker list openly — worth knowing that its headline count includes calculated ratios and self-reported dietary intake alongside the measured markers.

Empirical Health publishes a list of 29 states holding its 2,200+ testing locations; the states above are the ones absent from that list — 29 listed plus 22 here accounts for all 50 states and DC. They are not stated as excluded by the vendor — this is read from where testing is offered, so confirm your own state before buying. New York is absent despite the company being based there. Delaware was missing from this list until 2026-08-07, when the 29 names were counted against the 51 and came up one short: it had been rendering as served while Empirical listed no site there.

This site is built to earn affiliate commission, but no vendor link or promo code here currently pays one — every link goes plainly to the vendor's site, and this notice will change when that changes. Commissions never affect the prices shown or the order of results — every table sorts on price, and vendors cannot pay for placement.

Empirical Health advertises 100. Checked against their published list of all 100 on 2026-07-29: 26 are urinalysis items, 9 are dietary-intake figures you report rather than lab results, 4 are questionnaire and risk scores, and 8 are ratios calculated from markers already counted. Every blood marker in the panel that this registry names is mapped.

Ordering from Empirical Health

Who it suits

Someone whose question is cardiovascular, and who wants to pay once. ApoB and Lp(a) sit in the base panel rather than behind an upsell, results are "Interpreted by a physician", and the app is built around the same question — "Predict how your risk of heart disease will change over your lifetime, based on your biomarkers." It is also the rare app-led vendor here that is not a subscription: "One-Time Payment $190".

How ordering works

Order, then walk in: "Get tested at any of 2,200+ locations", with a site finder on their own testing-locations page. Empirical states the wait as "Results in days". The $190 buys, in their listing, "100 biomarkers", "1 lab visit", "2,200+ testing locations" and a "Personalized action plan" — a package they price against "$1,490 of value". Neither the homepage nor the product page says whether a physician order is included or whether fasting is required.

What to watch for

Check your own state on their map before paying, because Empirical never states an exclusion — it publishes a list of the 29 states holding its testing sites and says nothing about the rest. New York is not on that list, and neither is Delaware. The 100-marker headline also needs reading: checked against their own published list on 2026-07-29, 26 are urinalysis items, 9 are dietary-intake figures you report rather than lab results, 4 are questionnaire and risk scores, and 8 are ratios calculated from markers already counted. Higher tiers exist and only the $190 one is priced here; no refund policy is stated on either page.

How Empirical Health compares

Empirical Health sells into one comparison set tracked here, against 9 other vendors. Each set below lists the ones nearest on price to Empirical Health’s cheapest entry in it — at most four, one panel each — low to high. Same set means the same question, not the same test: two men’s health panels can cover very different markers, so read the counts beside the prices. Every link below goes to another profile on this site; none of them is a tracked link.
