Price + fee is the advertised price plus each provider's disclosed per-order fee, so rows compare what you pay at checkout: billed on top of the listed price by TestWell $6 lab processing fee, Ulta Lab Tests $12.95 draw fee, RequestATest $4 service fee; HealthLabs, Walk-In Lab and DiscountedLabs state that all fees are included in the listed price; Personalabs does not disclose a per-order fee on its site, so that total is unverified. Rows are sorted by that total.
Lowest price above is the verified cash list price (kept honest even when a non-affiliate wins). Easiest to order with draw access: HealthLabs — Quest & LabCorp network, optional doctor consult (read our HealthLabs review).

As of November 2026, the advertised cash price for a Lipid Panel (Cholesterol) at the online labs we track is $19.99 to $51, with a median of $30. These are direct-pay prices from each provider's public pricing page; no insurance is involved.
In our November 2026 collection, the lowest advertised price was $19.99 at TestWell, which is also the lowest total once each provider's disclosed per-order fee is added. Prices change frequently, so verify at checkout. Per-order fees: billed on top of the listed price by TestWell $6 lab processing fee, Ulta Lab Tests $12.95 draw fee, RequestATest $4 service fee; HealthLabs, Walk-In Lab and DiscountedLabs state that all fees are included in the listed price; Personalabs does not disclose a per-order fee on its site, so that total is unverified.
Each price is the provider's advertised list price for the test on the collection date. It normally includes the physician order and the lab draw at a partner Quest or LabCorp location, but coupon codes and sale prices are excluded. Where a provider bills a per-order fee on top (RequestATest $4, Ulta Lab Tests $12.95, TestWell $6), the Price + fee column adds it. The exact product each price refers to is shown in the table, because panel contents can differ between providers.
No — a standard lipid panel reports cholesterol mass (LDL-C, HDL-C, triglycerides), not particle count. Apolipoprotein B is a separate $59–$69 add-on at the same providers; see our ApoB test cost guide for verified prices and fasting rules. The same goes for lipoprotein(a), a $45–$61 one-time genetic check.
Our collector recorded each price directly from the provider's public pricing page on 2026-11-02, storing the source URL and product name alongside the price. Prices we could not observe are omitted rather than estimated. The full methodology is published on the Lab Test Price Index page, and the dataset is re-collected quarterly.
