Fertility Clinic vs Lab vs At-Home Prices, With and Without Insurance" type: guide url: "https://www.test-well.com/guides/amh-test-cost" date_published: 2026-10-05 reviewed_at: 2026-10-05 --- # How Much Does an AMH Test Cost? Fertility Clinic vs Lab vs At-Home Prices, With and Without Insurance *An AMH test is $74.99 at a lab and part of a $500–$1,500 workup at a fertility clinic. Here is what it costs by setting, when insurance pays, what the number does and does not tell you, and the companion tests that decide whether one draw is enough.* > Without insurance, an AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone) blood test costs $74.99 ordered online through TestWell, plus one $6 fee for the order, drawn at any Quest or Labcorp with results in 3–5 business days. The labs' own consumer sites charge $135 (Quest Health) and $139 (Labcorp OnDemand); mail-in finger-prick fertility kits run about $130–$180 and usually bundle other hormones; an OB/GYN visit adds $150–$300 to the lab bill; and at a fertility clinic AMH is normally part of an initial workup — consultation, AMH, FSH and estradiol, TSH, often an ultrasound — that runs $500–$1,500 self-pay. Insurance covers AMH when it is ordered to investigate a problem (irregular or absent periods, an infertility evaluation, suspected PCOS), usually against your deductible; a 'how is my fertility' check without a diagnosis is often not covered, and egg-freezing planning rarely is unless your state or employer plan mandates fertility benefits. AMH can be drawn on any day of the cycle and needs no fasting. ## Recommended tests | Recommended | Type | Price | Why | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Egg Reserve & Fertility Test (AMH)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/amh) | Test | $74.99 | Ovarian reserve marker, any cycle day, no fasting — $74.99 vs $135–$139 lab-direct | | [FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/fsh) | Test | $29.99 | The companion marker, drawn on cycle day 2–4 — $29.99 | | [Estradiol (E2)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/estradiol) | Test | $35.99 | Read alongside FSH on day 2–4 — $35.99 | | [TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/tsh) | Test | $26.99 | Thyroid screen that belongs in any fertility baseline — $26.99 | All prices are cash-pay plus one $6 lab processing fee per order; physician authorization is included. ## The One-Paragraph Answer AMH is a single blood test, and at a laboratory it is priced like one: $74.99 through TestWell, $135–$139 on the labs' own sites. The price climbs with the setting around it. **Mail-in kits** charge $130–$180 because they bundle AMH with other hormones and ship a finger-prick collection device. An **OB/GYN** adds a visit fee to a lab bill that is itself often $100–$200 when billed through an office. A **fertility clinic** rarely sells AMH alone; it is one line in an initial workup with a consultation, FSH and estradiol, thyroid testing and often an antral follicle count by ultrasound, commonly $500–$1,500 before insurance. **Insurance** pays for AMH as a diagnostic test when there is a reason on the order — irregular periods, an infertility evaluation, suspected PCOS — but many plans decline an elective 'fertility check', and coverage for egg-freezing planning depends on state mandates and employer benefits. The cheapest reliable route for the number itself is a lab draw you order yourself, and the number is most useful when you already know what you will do with it. ## AMH Test Cost by Setting Self-pay prices. Where a route requires a visit, the visit is included because you cannot get the test without it. | Where | What you get | Visits | Typical self-pay cost | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Fertility clinic (REI) | Consultation + AMH, FSH, estradiol, TSH, often ultrasound | 1–2 | $500–$1,500 for the initial workup; AMH alone $100–$250 when itemized | The right setting if you are moving toward treatment; the labs are repeated by the clinic anyway | | OB/GYN or primary care | Visit + lab order | 1–2 | $150–$300 visit + $100–$200 lab bill when office-billed | Insurance often covers with a diagnosis code; ask to be sent to an independent lab | | Mail-in fertility kits | Finger-prick AMH, usually with FSH, estradiol, TSH, prolactin | 0 | $130–$180 | Convenient; a different collection method from a venous draw, and a rejected sample means a second kit | | Quest Health / Labcorp OnDemand (the labs' own sites) | AMH, venous draw | 1 | $135 / $139 | Physician order included; list prices checked monthly on our price index | | TestWell (drawn at Quest or Labcorp) | AMH, venous draw | 1 | $74.99 + one $6 fee | Physician order included; results 3–5 business days; add FSH and estradiol for a day-2–4 draw | The gap between $74.99 and $1,500 is not the test — it is the consultation and the ultrasound, which are the right spend when you are deciding on treatment and the wrong spend when you only want the number before deciding whether to see anyone. ## What AMH Tells You — and What It Doesn't Anti-Müllerian hormone is produced by the small growing follicles in the ovaries, which makes it the single best blood marker of **ovarian reserve — how many eggs remain**. Because it barely changes across the menstrual cycle, it can be drawn on any day, unlike FSH and estradiol, which are read on cycle day 2–4. Levels decline with age, and clinicians use AMH to plan egg freezing and IVF (it predicts how many eggs a stimulation cycle is likely to yield), to investigate irregular or absent periods, and to support a PCOS work-up, where AMH is typically high. What it is not: a stand-alone 'can I get pregnant' test. AMH measures egg **quantity, not quality**, and in women not seeking fertility care a low or high value does not reliably predict the chance of conceiving naturally — which is the point ACOG makes about using it as a general fertility check. Two practical cautions when comparing numbers: results from different laboratories' assays are not always directly comparable, so repeat testing is best done at the same lab; and hormonal contraception can lower the measured value, which matters if you are testing while on the pill. The [AMH test page](https://www.test-well.com/tests/amh) covers reference ranges by age. ## Does Insurance Cover an AMH Test? It depends on why it is ordered and where you live. Ordered as a **diagnostic** test — for irregular or absent periods, as part of an infertility evaluation after 12 months of trying (6 months over age 35), or in a PCOS work-up — AMH is generally covered like any lab test, subject to your copay or deductible. Ordered as a **fertility check** without a diagnosis, or to plan elective egg freezing, many plans deny it as not medically necessary. About twenty states have laws requiring some infertility coverage, and the definitions of what counts as an evaluation vary by state; large employers increasingly add fertility benefits (Progyny, Carrot and similar) that cover diagnostic testing outright. Check the plan document before assuming either way, and if the test is denied, the cash price at a lab is lower than most plans' negotiated rate for the same CPT code (82166) at a hospital lab. HSA and FSA funds pay in any setting. ## The Hidden Costs: Companion Tests, Timing and Repeats AMH rarely stands alone in a fertility baseline. The usual companions are **FSH and estradiol drawn together on cycle day 2–4** (estradiol is needed to interpret FSH), **TSH** because thyroid problems affect ovulation, and often **prolactin**. Through a clinic each is a separate line on the bill; through a lab order they are $29.99, $35.99, $26.99 and $39.99 respectively and can share the AMH draw if you time it to day 2–4. The **antral follicle count** by transvaginal ultrasound is the other half of ovarian-reserve testing and only a clinic can do it ($200–$500 self-pay); if you are headed to a clinic anyway, they will want it alongside the AMH. Repeats are the other cost. A fertility clinic typically re-runs AMH on its own lab even when you bring a recent result, so a test you buy to 'save' the clinic's charge may not. Where a lab order does save money is before the clinic: to decide whether a consultation is warranted, to establish a baseline before starting a medication or treatment that affects reserve, or to track a trend year to year — at the same lab, so the assays match. ## How to Pay the Least for an AMH Test - **You want the number before deciding anything:** order AMH alone ($80.99 all-in through TestWell), any cycle day, no fasting, results in 3–5 business days. - **You want a fertility baseline without a clinic yet:** AMH + FSH + estradiol + TSH in one order ($167.96 + $6), drawn on cycle day 2–4 so the FSH and estradiol are readable. - **You are already seeing a fertility clinic:** let them order it — they will repeat it on their lab regardless, and insurance or your fertility benefit may cover the workup. - **Insured with a reason on the order (irregular periods, infertility evaluation, PCOS):** have your OB/GYN order it and send you to an independent lab; your copay may be the cheapest route. - **Denied as elective:** pay cash at a lab rather than the hospital's self-pay rate; the difference is usually $50–$150. - **On hormonal contraception:** ask your clinician whether to test now or after stopping, since the pill can lower the measured value — testing twice costs twice. ## What an AMH Test Costs Through TestWell Every test is drawn at Quest or Labcorp and carries one $6 lab processing fee per order, charged once however many tests you add. [AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/amh) $74.99 (Quest 37227 / Labcorp 500183; CPT 82166) — Quest Health $135, Labcorp OnDemand $139. Companions: [FSH](https://www.test-well.com/tests/fsh) $29.99, [Estradiol](https://www.test-well.com/tests/estradiol) $35.99, [TSH](https://www.test-well.com/tests/tsh) $26.99, [Prolactin](https://www.test-well.com/tests/prolactin) $39.99. A licensed physician authorizes the order, the requisition is emailed, most locations take walk-ins, and results post to your account in 3–5 business days with age-based reference ranges and a plain-language summary you can bring to any clinician. Fertility and hormone panels are listed on the [hormone tests hub](https://www.test-well.com/tests/category/hormones). ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does an AMH test cost without insurance? $74.99 ordered online through TestWell plus one $6 fee, drawn at any Quest or Labcorp; $135 at Quest Health and $139 at Labcorp OnDemand; about $130–$180 for mail-in fertility kits that bundle other hormones; $100–$250 itemized at a fertility clinic, where it is usually part of a $500–$1,500 initial workup with a consultation and ultrasound. ### Does insurance cover an AMH test? Usually when it is ordered for a diagnosis — irregular or absent periods, an infertility evaluation, or a PCOS work-up — against your copay or deductible. A fertility check without a diagnosis or planning for elective egg freezing is often denied unless your state mandates infertility coverage or your employer offers a fertility benefit. Check the plan; the cash price at a lab is lower than most hospital-lab negotiated rates. ### Can I take an AMH test any day of my cycle? Yes. AMH barely changes across the menstrual cycle, so it can be drawn on any day with no fasting. FSH and estradiol — the usual companion tests — are read on cycle day 2–4, so if you want all three in one draw, schedule it for those days. ### Are at-home AMH tests as accurate as a lab draw? Mail-in kits use a finger-prick sample analyzed by a certified lab and are generally reliable when enough blood is collected; they cost $130–$180 because they bundle other hormones. A venous draw at Quest or Labcorp is the method clinics use, costs $74.99 through TestWell, and avoids rejected samples. Compare repeat results at the same lab, since different assays are not always directly comparable. ### What other tests should I get with AMH? For a fertility baseline: FSH and estradiol together on cycle day 2–4, TSH, and often prolactin. Through TestWell those four are $29.99, $35.99, $26.99 and $39.99. The antral follicle count by ultrasound is the other half of ovarian-reserve testing and is done at a clinic. ### Does a low AMH mean I can't get pregnant? No. AMH reflects how many eggs remain, not their quality, and in women not seeking fertility care it does not reliably predict the chance of conceiving naturally. A low value is a reason to talk with a clinician about timing and options — especially if you are planning to delay pregnancy or considering egg freezing — not a verdict. ## Sources - [ASRM Practice Committee — Testing and interpreting measures of ovarian reserve (2020)](https://www.asrm.org/practice-guidance/practice-committee-documents/testing-and-interpreting-measures-of-ovarian-reserve-a-committee-opinion-2020/) - [ACOG Committee Opinion 773 — The Use of Antimüllerian Hormone in Women Not Seeking Fertility Care](https://www.acog.org/clinical/clinical-guidance/committee-opinion/articles/2019/04/the-use-of-antimullerian-hormone-in-women-not-seeking-fertility-care) - [Quest Health — AMH Marker Test (consumer list price)](https://www.questhealth.com/product/amh-marker-test/37227M.html) - [Labcorp OnDemand — Women's Fertility AMH Test](https://www.ondemand.labcorp.com/lab-tests/womens-fertility-amh-test) - [RESOLVE — Insurance coverage by state (infertility mandates)](https://resolve.org/learn/financial-resources-for-family-building/insurance-coverage/insurance-coverage-by-state/) - [Lab Test Insight — DTC lab test price index, Aug 2026](https://labtestinsight.com/price-index/) --- Medically reviewed by Youmna DiStefano, MD (Medical Reviewer, TestWell); last reviewed 2026-10-05.
