Apple plans to let you buy a Quest Diagnostics blood panel for $119 inside the Health app. Announced September 9, the panel covers more than 50 biomarkers and is due later in 2026.[1][2]
That gives patients a new price to compare with preventive testing memberships. But deciding whether it is good value requires more than comparing annual fees. You need to know which tests you are buying, whether repeat testing is included, and who will help you act on the results.
As of September 12, this is an announced service, not an available purchase. Here is what the companies have confirmed and what remains open.
What the $119 Panel Includes
Quest Diagnostics will perform the testing. Its announcement describes:[2]
More than 50 biomarkers covering cardiometabolic health and organ function.
Measurements at the appointment: blood pressure, height, weight, and waist and hip circumferences.
An in-person blood draw at approximately 2,000 Quest patient service centers in the United States.
Results delivered to Apple Health after testing.
Third-party providers who approve test orders, with an optional discussion of results and next steps at no additional charge.
Your phone handles the order and results. You still visit a collection site for the blood draw.
Quest says the service will not be available in every state. Its announcement does not identify the excluded states, give a complete marker list, or specify a turnaround time in days.[2]
That missing marker list matters. Before buying, look for the individual tests you and your doctor want. A headline count cannot tell you whether a panel includes a particular thyroid, cholesterol, nutrient, or hormone test.
The Unconfirmed Fees and Payment Details
Quest's separate consumer storefront, questhealth.com, uses PWNHealth for independent provider services and says those fees appear before payment. Its help center also says it accepts Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards, subject to individual eligibility.[3]
Those storefront terms do not establish the Apple purchase terms. Neither launch announcement confirms an additional $6 PWNHealth charge or HSA/FSA eligibility for this panel.[1][2] Treat $119 as the announced price, without assuming either a surcharge or tax-advantaged reimbursement.
When ordering becomes available, check the final total and the payment terms for that specific purchase. If you intend to seek reimbursement, confirm eligibility with your plan administrator and retain an itemized receipt. Our guide to using an HSA or FSA for concierge medicine or direct primary care explains the separate questions around membership payments.
How It Compares With Function Health and Superpower
The useful comparison is the testing schedule and included support, alongside the price.
Product | Publicly advertised price, checked September 12, 2026 | Testing and support described by the company |
|---|---|---|
Apple Health + Quest | $119 for the announced panel | More than 50 biomarkers, appointment measurements, order approval, and an optional results discussion. No annual repeat-testing package announced.[2] |
Function Health | $365 per year advertised | 100+ tests initially and 60+ follow-up tests 3–6 months later; clinician review and explanations. Additional tests and imaging can cost extra.[4][5] |
Superpower | Starting at $349 per year | 150+ lab tests across two blood draws, a personalized plan, and ongoing app/care-team support.[6] |
Superpower's $199 price belongs to its earlier offer. The company announced that tier in August 2025; its current public offer starts at $349.[6][7] Its official creator page separately lists $399 for New York and New Jersey, with a different panel.[8] Function's pricing footnote describes the $365 first-year package and exceptions for New York and New Jersey.[4] Check enrollment and renewal terms for your location.
The counts also need care. Function's 160+ annual total includes repeat testing; it does not mean 160 different biomarkers in one draw. Superpower describes its 150+ count across two draws. Neither annual figure is directly comparable with Apple's single-panel count.[2][5][6]
Apple's lower entry price establishes a reference point for the lab component. It does not tell you which service will answer your health questions for the lowest total cost. A second draw, additional tests, and appointments can change that calculation.
Apple also plans explanations tied to your results, and Quest includes access to a results discussion.[1][2] The unresolved question is how that support connects to ongoing care.

What Health Age Measures
Apple's new Longevity tab will include Health Age, a comparison between your metrics and chronological age. Apple names VO2 max, an estimate of cardiorespiratory fitness; resting heart rate; sleep; and heart rate variability (HRV) as possible inputs. Lab values such as hemoglobin A1c and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol can enrich the analysis.[1]
Health Age requires an Apple Watch. The redesigned Health app requires Apple Intelligence-enabled hardware and initially launches in US English.[1] The watch requirement for Health Age does not establish a watch requirement for buying labs.
Apple's announcement names inputs without providing the formula, their relative weights, or a validation study specific to Health Age.[1] Those omissions limit what readers can conclude about the score's accuracy or clinical usefulness.
A lower displayed age should not be read as proof that you reversed aging, added years to your life, or ruled out disease. Bring questions about the underlying measurements to your clinician. A favorable summary score should not override a concerning result or symptom.
An Abnormal Result Needs Context
A flag on a lab report is a reason to look more closely. It does not, by itself, establish a diagnosis.
MedlinePlus explains that healthy people can have results outside a reference range, while people with health problems can have results within it. Medicines, supplements, recent exercise, food, and preparation can affect certain results. Clinicians interpret the report alongside symptoms, medical history, and other findings.[9]
An app's preferred or “optimal” target also needs a definition. Ask whether a flag reflects the laboratory's reference range, an established clinical threshold, or the service's own target. Those categories should not be treated as interchangeable.
Consider an A1c of 6.0%. That falls within the 5.7%–6.4% prediabetes range. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases advises confirmation on another day when someone without symptoms has a result suggesting prediabetes or diabetes.[10]
That does not mean waiting passively for another blood draw. A clinician can discuss prevention and appropriate follow-up. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention describes structured lifestyle programs that help people with prediabetes lower their risk of developing type 2 diabetes.[11]
This is an example of interpreting a test result, not confirmation that A1c is included in Apple's panel. The complete panel list remains unconfirmed in the launch materials.
Who Will Take Responsibility for Follow-Up?
Before buying any broad panel, decide where the results will go and who will respond to them.
Ask the testing service what happens after an abnormal result. Does the consultation include arranging follow-up tests? Can you return to the same clinician? Who handles an urgent finding? Which services require another payment?
Quest's announcement promises order review and an optional results discussion, but does not describe a continuing primary care relationship.[2] It also does not specify how much medical history that clinician will receive. Give the reviewer relevant history and medications, and share the report with your regular doctor.
Ask your primary care practice how it handles outside labs: whether it needs an appointment, what that review costs, how to submit records, and who tracks repeat testing. Confirm that the report reached your chart. Seeing it in an app does not establish that your doctor has reviewed it.
If access is a recurring problem, ask prospective practices these same questions. An insurance-based practice, a concierge practice, or a direct primary care (DPC) practice may provide the follow-up you need. Paying a membership fee alone does not establish the quality of that follow-up. Our concierge medicine and DPC comparison explains the differences in how those practices charge for care.
Before You Order, Make a Follow-Up Plan
Compare the actual panel with recent labs. Ask whether the proposed tests address an unanswered question or duplicate work already completed.
Follow the panel's preparation instructions. Tell the testing clinician about medicines and supplements. Preparation requirements depend on the tests.[9]
Keep the complete report. Include units, reference ranges, collection date, and relevant preparation details.
Get a specific next step. For a concerning result, ask whether it needs confirmation, another kind of test, treatment, or monitoring. Agree on timing and who will contact you.
Keep routine care on schedule. A blood panel cannot establish that every aspect of your health is normal.[9] Discuss recommended screenings separately, and seek prompt assessment for concerning symptoms or an urgent lab notification.
