Request A Test

An a-la-carte reseller that quotes two prices for every panel — one for Labcorp, one for Quest — and says outright that the price includes the draw. The Labcorp price is the cheaper of the two on every panel here.

Request A Test does not publish an exclusion list for blood testing. Their own state directory covers 46 states and has no page for New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island or Hawaii, which is the same set their competitors exclude by regulation. Stated as an inference rather than as their claim, because they have not made the claim.

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 Request A Test

Who it suits

Someone who wants to choose their lab and see both prices before they do. Request A Test resells the same two networks everyone here uses, but it is the only vendor tracked that quotes Labcorp and Quest side by side on every panel rather than routing you — their own shorthand is "Lab 1 represents Labcorp, and Lab 2 represents Quest Diagnostics." The paperwork comes with the order: "No. Orders placed through Request A Test include the doctor's order you'll need for the testing."

How ordering works

Order online or by phone, picking the lab and the location at checkout. Then a wait before you can go — "Medical and Medical/Drug orders - up to 3 hours" of processing, after which "you can go to the selected lab location during their posted business hours". No booking needed: "Generally, no appointment is needed at the patient service centers", though they ask that you "arrive at least 30 minutes before their lunch break (if any) or the close of the business day". Turnaround is per-test rather than promised in general: "Please see the test description for each test for an estimated turnaround." No insurance — "Request A Test does not accept insurance or file insurance claims."

What to watch for

The order is a clock as much as a purchase. "Medical orders remain in the lab's system for 6 months" and "Test purchases are only valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. After 12 months, your order will expire, and you will no longer be able to visit the lab for testing. Refunds are not provided for orders that have expired." Cancelling inside the window is cheap but not free: "you have 90 days from the date of purchase to cancel and request a refund. There is a non-refundable Service Fee of $4", and "Beyond 90 days and until 1 year from the date of purchase, a credit for further testing is available" rather than money. Their FAQ names no excluded state for blood work — the only state rule it gives is that rapid urine drug testing cannot be ordered in New York — so the exclusions recorded here remain an inference from their own state directory rather than their claim.

Every sentence above was read off Request A Test’s own pages, quoted where the wording matters. Nothing here comes from anywhere else.

How Request A Test compares

Request A Test sells into 3 of the comparison sets tracked here, against 11 other vendors. Each set below lists the ones nearest on price to Request A Test’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.

  1. General health — smaller panels

    7 panels · 5 vendors
  2. Heart & cholesterol

    10 panels · 7 vendors
  3. General health — comprehensive

    16 panels · 10 vendors

    Request A Test sells 2 of these; the cheapest is the one compared.
