Dirt Cheap Labs Is Closed: How to Get Your Results and Where to Order Blood Tests Now
Dirt Cheap Labs stopped receiving lab results in August 2026 and its site is now a closing notice. Where your pending results went, what to do with an unused order form, and what the same Quest and Labcorp tests cost today.
Published Oct 27, 2026
Quick Answer
Dirt Cheap Labs has closed. According to its own closing notice, it stopped receiving results from the labs on August 14, 2026; results for any draw completed on or after that date go to the lab's patient portal (MyQuest or Labcorp Patient) instead, and earlier results and unused order forms stay in your Dirt Cheap Labs account for download. For new tests, the same self-pay model — pick the tests, pay once, walk into Quest or Labcorp — is available from several services, including TestWell: a CBC is $17.99 here plus one $6.00 fee, with a choice of Quest or Labcorp at checkout and results explained in your account.

What happened to Dirt Cheap Labs?
Dirt Cheap Labs was a self-pay lab marketplace: you picked tests online, paid once, printed an order form and walked into a Quest Diagnostics or Labcorp patient service center for the draw. Its website now carries a single page headed "Dirt Cheap Labs is closed." The notice says the company stopped receiving results from the labs on August 14, 2026, thanks its customers, and points them elsewhere for new testing. It gives no reason for the closure beyond saying it is proud of what the service did and that "a few of the bigger names quietly moved their own prices" while it operated.
Everything below about retrieving results is taken from that notice as it read on October 27, 2026. If the page has changed since, follow what it says now.
How do I get my Dirt Cheap Labs results?
It depends on when the lab finished your test:
- Draws finished on or after August 14, 2026 were never sent to Dirt Cheap Labs. They are waiting in the lab's own patient portal. Create a MyQuest account (Quest Diagnostics) or a Labcorp Patient account — whichever lab is printed on your order form — using the same name and date of birth that appear on the form. The notice says every finished result the lab holds will appear there.
- Results received before that date remain in your Dirt Cheap Labs account. Sign in, open the order, and download the PDF reports and the order form. The notice also offers a "Delete everything" option that erases your reports, order forms, name, address and history from their systems — save copies to your own computer first, because the links stop working once you delete.
If you have a paid order form you never used, the notice says you can still download it and take it to the lab; because results from now on go to the lab portal rather than to Dirt Cheap Labs, set up the MyQuest or Labcorp Patient account before you go so the result has somewhere to land.
Where should I order blood tests now?
The model Dirt Cheap Labs used is not unique to it. Several services let you choose your own tests, pay once with no membership, and have the blood drawn at Quest or Labcorp. The closing notice names three — Goodlabs, Anabolic Insights and Mito Health — and recommends all three. TestWell is not on that list, so here is where we stand next to it, plainly:
- Goodlabs sells individual tests at some of the lowest sticker prices in the category (a CBC is $4.00) and adds a $12 lab fee per visit; it also offers free bloodwork with a blood donation. On a single test it is cheaper than TestWell; the gap narrows as you add tests, because our per-order fee is $6.00.
- Anabolic Insights describes itself as direct-to-consumer lab panels with interactive charts and access to licensed providers.
- Mito Health starts from a questionnaire that recommends which tests to run and prices the set for you.
- TestWell is a catalog of about 150 single tests and 60+ panels at published prices, physician-ordered the same day, with a choice of Quest or Labcorp at checkout (and BioReference in New York and New Jersey), one $6.00 fee per order, results in your account with reference ranges, trends across orders and a downloadable PDF, and a published turnaround index from real orders. HSA/FSA cards work.
What do the common tests cost now?
The eight tests self-pay customers order most, at TestWell's Quest and Labcorp prices and at Goodlabs' sticker price for the same test code where we have it on record:
| Test | TestWell at Quest | TestWell at Labcorp | Goodlabs sticker |
|---|---|---|---|
| CBC with differential | $17.99 | $21.99 | $4.00 |
| Comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) | $21.49 | $22.99 | $5.00 |
| Lipid panel | $19.99 | $24.99 | $8.00 |
| Hemoglobin A1c | $18.99 | $22.99 | $4.00 |
| TSH | $20.99 | $27.99 | $5.00 |
| Vitamin D (25-OH) | $36.99 | $41.99 | $14.00 |
| Ferritin | $21.99 | $25.99 | $9.00 |
| Testosterone, total | $33.99 | $43.99 | $11.00 |
TestWell adds one $6.00 fee per order; Goodlabs adds a $12 lab fee per visit (their stickers verified 2026-10-26). Both are physician-ordered and drawn at the lab's own patient service centers.
Two worked examples. One CBC: $23.99 all-in at TestWell versus $16.00 at Goodlabs — they win. The four tests a physical orders (CBC, CMP, lipid panel, TSH): $55.99 all-in as the General Wellness Panel here, versus $34.00 at Goodlabs — they win again. If the lowest price is the only thing that matters, Goodlabs is the closer substitute for Dirt Cheap Labs; if you want the choice of lab at checkout, the result explanations and trends, or you are in New York or New Jersey, that is what TestWell is for.
Will my old Dirt Cheap Labs results work with a new service?
Your results are yours. Download the PDFs from your Dirt Cheap Labs account (or from MyQuest / Labcorp Patient for the later draws) and keep them — any clinician can read a Quest or Labcorp report regardless of who placed the order. TestWell's lab results explainer will read the values on an older report against current reference ranges, and if you retest the same marker here, your account tracks the trend from the new result forward.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dirt Cheap Labs still in business?
No. dirtcheaplabs.com is a closing notice stating that the company stopped receiving results from the labs on August 14, 2026, that pending results now go to the lab's own patient portal, and that earlier results and order forms remain downloadable from existing accounts. It recommends Goodlabs, Anabolic Insights and Mito Health for new testing.
I had a test drawn after Dirt Cheap Labs closed. Where is my result?
In the lab's patient portal, not at Dirt Cheap Labs. Create a MyQuest account (Quest Diagnostics) or a Labcorp Patient account (Labcorp) — whichever lab's name is on your order form — using exactly the name and date of birth printed on the form. Every result the lab has finished appears there once it is released.
Can I still use a Dirt Cheap Labs order form I paid for but never used?
According to the closing notice, yes — download it from your account and take it to the lab printed on it. Because results now route to the lab's portal, set up MyQuest or Labcorp Patient first. If the lab declines the form, you will need a new order from another service.
What is the closest alternative to Dirt Cheap Labs?
On price alone, Goodlabs — its single-test stickers are lower than TestWell's and it adds a $12 lab fee per visit, as Dirt Cheap Labs itself recommended. TestWell is the alternative if you want a choice of Quest or Labcorp at checkout, BioReference in New York and New Jersey, results explained with reference ranges and trends, and a $6.00 per-order fee; a CBC is $17.99 here. Anabolic Insights and Mito Health, the other two services named in the notice, are built around provider access and test recommendations respectively.
Does TestWell work the same way Dirt Cheap Labs did?
Yes in the parts that matter: you choose the tests, pay online, a licensed physician authorizes the order, and you walk into a Quest or Labcorp patient service center for the draw — no doctor's visit and no insurance. The differences are that you choose the lab at checkout, results come back into your TestWell account with explanations (and are also available from the lab's portal), and the fee is one $6.00 per order.
