What does the 40+ marker panel cost, and what sets the price?
The Comprehensive Health Optimization Panel is priced as one cash fee, quoted before you book, rather than as a bill for each test. Ultimate Male does not publish that figure online, because the quote can change if you add optional markers or combine the panel with a consultation or treatment plan.
The panel covers more than 40 biomarkers across hormones, cardiovascular risk, nutrients, inflammation, thyroid, liver, kidney and genetic markers. Several things shape what you pay for it:
| Cost driver | Why it matters | What to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Core panel | The 40+ markers drawn together in one visit | What exactly is in the panel today? |
| Optional add-ons | Extra tests, such as BRCA screening, cost more | Which add-ons are relevant for me? |
| Draw and processing | On-site, same-day draw at San Gabriel or Downey | Is the draw fee inside the panel price? |
| Interpretation | A provider explains what the results mean | Is the review in person or by phone? |
| Follow-up testing | Rechecks of any marker that comes back abnormal | What would a recheck cost? |
Does a panel cost less per marker than single tests?
Usually the bundle lowers the cost per marker, but the number that matters is what you would actually have ordered. A panel of 40-plus markers divided by its price will almost always look inexpensive per test. If you only needed eight of those markers, the fair comparison is the panel price against those eight tests ordered on their own.
Here is a simple way to check the value of your quote:
- List the markers you would want anyway, such as testosterone, a lipid profile, A1c, thyroid, vitamin D and a blood count.
- Ask for the single-test price of that shorter list, or look it up through a lab you trust.
- Compare that sum with the panel price. If the panel costs about the same or less, the extra markers add little or nothing to what you pay.
Some markers are worth less to some men than the per-marker math suggests. MedlinePlus notes that apolipoprotein measurements may add detail to heart-risk assessment but that their added value beyond a standard lipid panel is not yet settled. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force calls PSA screening for men aged 55 to 69 an individual decision and recommends against it at 70 and older, so a PSA result is something to discuss rather than collect by default.
Is the results review included?
Yes. Clinical interpretation of the results is part of Ultimate Male’s blood testing service, so you are not left to decode a 40-line report alone. Results usually arrive within 24 to 48 hours, and a provider walks you through what is normal, what is borderline and what deserves a recheck.
If a result points toward treatment, such as low testosterone or a weight-related metabolic problem, that conversation becomes a consultation. Ask at booking whether your review will be in person or by phone, since that affects scheduling more than cost. Our guide to reading a men’s health lab report is a useful primer before the appointment.
How does it compare with smaller panels?
The comprehensive panel suits men who want a broad baseline; the smaller panels suit a single question. The TRT pre-screening panel covers total testosterone, estradiol, PSA and a blood count, and it is bundled with the first TRT consultation, so a man whose only question is testosterone may not need the larger panel at all.
The Targeted Preventative Health Panel sits in between, with ApoB, Lp(a), hs-CRP, vitamin D, iron, zinc, B12, liver and kidney function. You can see how all of them differ from routine checkup labs in our men’s panel versus annual physical comparison, and the genetic risk screening cost page explains the one-time genetic markers.
How can you pay for it?
The panel is a lab fee for medical care, which IRS Publication 502 allows as a medical expense, so HSA and FSA funds normally cover it. Ultimate Male provides an itemized receipt for your plan administrator or an out-of-network claim, since the clinic does not bill insurance itself.
If you would rather pay over time, CareCredit, Prosper Healthcare Lending and Afterpay are accepted. For a broader look at what lab work costs without coverage, see our blood work cost guide.
How do you get your panel quote?
The free 10-minute phone call at 626-319-5261 is the quickest way to a number. Tell the team why you want the panel, any symptoms you have, and any recent labs, and they will tell you whether the full panel or a smaller one makes sense and what it costs.
There is no obligation to book after the call. If you decide to go ahead, you can read the full marker list on the comprehensive men’s health blood panel page, compare every option on the blood testing overview, and schedule your draw at whichever clinic suits you.
