Cardio IQ Lipid Panel test price: TestWell vs JustLabs
Short answer
A Cardio IQ Lipid Panel test costs $25.99 all-in at TestWell and about $26.00 at JustLabs — effectively the same price as of 2026-10-27. JustLabs's $8.00 sticker excludes $18.00 in per-order fees; TestWell's $19.99 sticker plus the single $6.00 lab fee is the whole price. The blood is analyzed at the same lab, so the result is the same test.

TestWell prices are live from the catalog and are what checkout charges. JustLabs prices were read from its public ordering pages on 2026-10-27; all-in assumes one test ordered alone.
Is it the same test?
Yes. Both orders are analyzed at the same CLIA-certified lab under the same CPT code (80061), so the assay, the reference range and the number on your report are identical. You are paying for the ordering experience, the physician authorization and any bundling — not a different test.
Where does the price difference come from?
JustLabs lists a lower-looking sticker and adds a $18.00 lab & physician order fee at checkout, so a single test costs $26.00. TestWell's $19.99 sticker plus one $6.00 lab processing fee — $25.99 — is the whole price. The fee gap narrows when several tests share one order at either company.
When is JustLabs the better choice?
- A short list of tests, mostly by a dollar or two: JustLabs is cheaper all-in on 15 of the 72 tests both companies sell (checked 2026-10-27) — oxidized LDL $48 vs $48.99, C-peptide $34 vs $35.99, iron & TIBC $27 vs $31.99, ANA screen $29 vs $38.99, CoQ10 $70 vs $80.99, glucose $24 vs $30.99, uric acid $23 vs $27.99, GGT $23 vs $25.99
- Multi-test à-la-carte orders: the $18 fee is paid once, so the gap narrows or flips as tests are added — TSH + Vitamin D is $52 there vs $63.98 here, and a CBC + CMP + lipid + A1c cart is $48.50 vs $84.46 à la carte here (our General Wellness Panel narrows that to $55.99)
- Faster quoted turnaround (1-2 business days) on many routine tests
- You're buying one of the handful of tests JustLabs still undercuts us on by a dollar or two (oxidized LDL, C-peptide, iron & TIBC, glucose, ANA), or a long à-la-carte Quest cart that none of TestWell's panels covers — JustLabs' one $18 fee is paid once, so those carts total less there.
- You want Spanish-language test pages; TestWell's Spanish mirror is still rolling out.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Cardio IQ Lipid Panel test at TestWell the same as JustLabs's?
Yes — the sample is analyzed at the same CLIA-certified lab (CPT 80061), so the assay, reference range and result are identical. What differs is the price, the ordering experience and what else is bundled.
Are JustLabs's prices all-in?
No. JustLabs adds $18.00 lab & physician order fee per order on top of the $8.00 sticker, so one Cardio IQ Lipid Panel test comes to $26.00. Ordering several tests at once spreads that fee out. TestWell charges one $6.00 lab fee per order, shown before checkout.
How current are these prices?
