The verdict
The Elite Health Profile is the biggest of Quest's three health profile panels: 85+ markers from one visit, including ApoB, insulin and HbA1c. It costs $405 with the physician fee, and nothing renews. The catch is that it's one snapshot you pay for each time, and trials of general health checks haven't shown they lower mortality.
It's one draw for $405, so tracking changes over time means paying full price again.

About this price
Quest lists the Elite Health Profile at $399.00, with no sale or strikethrough price. A $6.00 physician service fee is added, so one test costs $405 before tax. Home collection through Quest Mobile is $79 extra where available. Quest's 10% first-purchase offer isn't used here. It isn't valid in Arizona, Hawaii or Pennsylvania.
A GOOD FIT FOR
You want ApoB, insulin, HbA1c and thyroid markers from one visit, paid once, without joining a membership.
- You want ApoB, insulin, HbA1c and thyroid markers from one fasting visit
- You'd rather pay once than sign up for a membership
- You live near one of Quest's 2,000+ Patient Service Centers
- You want to pay with HSA or FSA funds, if your plan allows it
THINK TWICE IF
- Anyone who wants insurance to pay, since Quest doesn't bill insurance for these tests
- Anyone under 18
- Anyone in Arizona, Hawaii or Puerto Rico, where Quest says collection isn't available
- Anyone expecting a diagnosis or treatment from the results, which Quest says they aren't intended for
What still needs checking
- Which states other than Arizona, Hawaii and Puerto Rico block the purchase
- The name of the provider group that reviews and approves orders
- Whether a cancellation refund includes the $6 physician fee. The terms call that fee non-refundable but also say the $20 cancellation fee includes the provider's fees
- Whether the $79 Quest Mobile fee is refundable, which the terms don't say
- Whether the panel's assays are FDA-cleared or lab-developed, which Quest doesn't say
- Whether Quest's labs hold CAP accreditation, which the pages checked don't mention

Before you buy
InstallationNo installation
No installation. You give blood and urine samples at one of 2,000+ Quest Patient Service Centers. Quest Mobile can collect them at home for $79 more where it's offered. Quest says collection isn't available in Arizona, Hawaii or Puerto Rico. It recommends fasting for 8 to 12 hours beforehand, with nothing but water. If you take supplements or medications that could affect results, Quest suggests asking a healthcare provider whether to stop them first. Your height, weight, waist and blood pressure are measured at the appointment.
WarrantyNo warranty
No warranty. Quest's consumer terms provide its services "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind. They cap Quest's liability at what you paid. They also say the results aren't intended to diagnose or treat disease.
ReturnsQuest's consumer terms let you cancel a test collected at a Quest location…
Quest's consumer terms let you cancel a test collected at a Quest location any time before collection, within 60 days of purchase. You get the purchase price back minus a $20 fee per order. Quest says that fee includes the provider's fees and its own administrative fees. If you don't give a sample within 60 days, the purchase expires and Quest refunds it automatically, minus the same $20. In some states, taxes aren't refunded either.
More about this assessment
The Elite Health Profile is the biggest of Quest's three health profile panels, and you can buy it without a doctor's visit. Quest lists 85+ markers, including ApoB, insulin, HbA1c, hs-CRP, thyroid markers and vitamin D. You give blood and urine at a Quest Patient Service Center, and results typically arrive in 3 to 5 business days. It costs $399 plus a $6 physician service fee, and Quest doesn't bill insurance. The catch is that it's one snapshot, so tracking changes means paying $405 again. A Cochrane review found general health checks had little or no effect on total mortality, and Quest cites no outcome study of this panel.

3-year planning total
$405.00Every field has a value. This is an estimate, not a quote.
Energy component: $0.00
Purchase + installation + years × (annual consumables + annual other) + watts/1000 × hours/day × 365 × years × $/kWh. Annualized allowances, not an exact replacement schedule. Excludes taxes, shipping, finance and resale unless entered.Replacement parts & cost assumptions
Recorded recurring parts and refills:
- Elite Health Profile retest: $405. Optional. A repeat test costs the same $399 plus the $6 physician service fee, before tax. Quest doesn't recommend a retest schedule, so retests aren't counted in the yearly cost.
- Quest Mobile home collection: $79. Optional. Quest charges $79 extra for home collection where Quest Mobile serves your area. It isn't included in the ownership estimate.
- The purchase is one test at $405: the $399 list price plus the $6 physician service fee. Nothing renews, so the three-year figure is $405 if you test once.
- Each retest costs another $405, and Quest doesn't say how often to retest. Testing once a year for three years means three tests, or $1,215 before tax.
- Quest Mobile home collection adds $79 where available. It's left out because it's optional. The test has no power draw.
Evidence & sources.
Are longevity blood tests and biological-age clocks worth it? Our evidence review grades the research as Not supported. That grade is about the claim, not about this product.
- Manufacturer claimQuest says no doctor visit is needed to buy the test, but an independent healthcare provider is involved throughout. Its consumer terms say a provider licensed in your state reviews, approves and orders the testing. Quest also says Quest Diagnostics Incorporated and certain affiliates are CLIA-certified laboratories.13 The marker list, turnaround and provider role are Quest's own statements. The terms say results aren't intended to diagnose or treat disease. The pages checked don't mention CAP accreditation or FDA review of this panel.
- Regulator recordThe FDA says it issued a final rule on May 6, 2024 covering tests made by laboratories. It added "including when the manufacturer of these products is a laboratory" to the definition of in vitro diagnostic products. A federal district court vacated that rule on March 31, 2025. On September 19, 2025, the FDA issued a final rule reverting the regulation to its earlier text.5 This covers the rules for lab-developed tests in general, not this panel. Quest doesn't say which of its assays are FDA-cleared and which are lab-developed. On the pages checked, the only lab credential Quest names is CLIA certification.
- Published studyA Cochrane review pooled randomized trials of general health checks in adults not selected for disease or risk factors. Health checks had little or no effect on total mortality (RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.97 to 1.03; 11 trials; high certainty). They also had little or no effect on cancer mortality (RR 1.01, 0.92 to 1.12; 8 trials; high certainty). Their effect on cardiovascular mortality was probably little or none (RR 1.05, 0.94 to 1.16; 9 trials; moderate certainty).4 The review included 17 trials, 15 with outcome data on 251,891 participants. The authors concluded that general health checks are unlikely to be beneficial. The trials tested health checks in general, not Quest's panel, and Quest's pages don't cite any outcome study of the Elite Health Profile.
