Compare Lab Tests

Private MD Labs

Hormone and thyroid work in unusual depth — reverse T3, SHBG, thyroid antibodies and free testosterone by mass spectrometry all appear in one panel, which little else here matches. Priced accordingly: their flagship is the most expensive panel on this site.

Their terms exclude New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island by state regulation. Their help centre also suggests Hawaii is out for want of a draw site, but that page could not be loaded to confirm, so Hawaii is not listed here.

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.

Ordering from Private MD Labs

Who it suits

Someone chasing a hormone or thyroid question in more depth than a general panel gives — reverse T3, SHBG, thyroid antibodies and free testosterone by mass spectrometry in one order is not something the cheaper vendors here assemble. It is also the one in-lab vendor on this site that expects you to book: "Most labs don't accept walk-ins so it's best to book an appointment in advance", where HealthLabs and Personalabs both say the opposite. Plan the visit rather than dropping in.

How ordering works

"We'll create your doctor's lab order remotely, you won't have to make a trip to a doctor" — and "Once your order is confirmed, we'll work our magic and create your personalized doctor's lab order (requisition)." The draw happens at one of "4,000 labs" across the Quest and Labcorp networks, and there is nothing to carry in: "Just bring your ID – no printing or faxing of your lab order is needed, as your order and details will already be in the lab system." Then "Most test results will be available within 3-6 business days."

What to watch for

The $1 on every page is financing, not a price. Their terms: the promotion is "available exclusively to new customers who have never previously placed an order with Private MD Labs", and "The remaining balance will be charged automatically and immediately when the first partial test results become available, without prior notification." The dollar itself does not come back as money — "We refund the $1 as site credits only." Ordinary refunds are the tightest of any in-lab vendor here: permitted only before the specimen is submitted, at 75% of the original purchase price, and not at all after 21 days. Three states are out: "Private MD Labs does not offer services to residents of New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island due to state regulations."

How Private MD Labs compares

Private MD Labs sells into 4 of the comparison sets tracked here, against 11 other vendors. Each set below lists the ones nearest on price to Private MD Labs’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.
