TRT bloodwork: what panels cost at Quest, Labcorp and online
The bloodwork behind a TRT decision, and what each panel costs cash-pay.
The complete panel
- Total testosterone - morning draws, two before any diagnosis.
- Free T / SHBG - the bioavailable fraction.
- LH and FSH - separates primary (testicular) from secondary (pituitary) causes.
- Prolactin - pituitary rule-out.
- CBC / haematocrit - the safety number TRT itself moves.
- PSA - prostate baseline.
- Metabolic panel, lipids, HbA1c - ED is sometimes the first signal of diabetes or vascular disease.
Cash prices (published, verified 2026-10-08)
- Hone Health: $65 for a 50+ biomarker panel with at-home draw - the published low for breadth.
- Quest and Labcorp direct: $40-150 per panel depending on marker count (their own "testosterone test near me" pages are the finder SERPs).
- T-only shortcuts: $29-75 online. A T-only test without LH/SHBG often buys a repeat draw - buy the full panel once.
Timing rules
Morning draws (8-11 am), two separate days, fasted per lab instructions. Acute illness, poor sleep and heavy training suppress results; re-test rather than diagnose from an outlier.
