Since typical blood tests start at under $10, can you codify the value that the company at that link provides that makes their list price $1,490?

That panel costs $190 (and includes 85 biomarkers).

FWIW, similar bundles I've seen online are priced at $400-$500.

All 85 biomarkers, if purchased separately, would cost a total of $1,490. ApoB, for example, usually costs $60 if done in isolation, Lp(a) is $45, hs-CRP is $65 at Quest, etc. The bundles end up having lower pricing due to volume discounts and being able to amortize some of the cost across biomarkers.

Thanks, that's good information. What is your relationship to the company, if any? I wouldn't ask, but it's common when the answer is "none" to provide that info before anyone asks.

I believe eGFR (via creatinine testing) and sometimes HbA1c (if diabetes screening is ordered) are the only things listed may be part of a routine health check from a common/inexpensive blood test.

		Co-Founder of the company (it's on my profile). Yes, you're right--of the biomarkers listed, only eGFR and HbA1c are standard in a routine health check.
