## What does the Celiac Disease Panel test tell you?

Comprehensive celiac disease screening — tests for antibodies that indicate gluten sensitivity.

This comprehensive celiac panel tests for the antibodies associated with celiac disease, an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten. It includes tTG-IgA, tTG-IgG, DGP-IgA, DGP-IgG, and total IgA. Testing multiple antibodies improves detection accuracy, especially in people with IgA deficiency. You must be eating gluten regularly for at least 2–3 weeks before testing for accurate results.

**Clinical use:** Comprehensive celiac antibody screen: Tissue Transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA, the most sensitive marker), Total IgA (to detect false-negative IgA deficiency), and Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgG/IgA.

## Who should order it?

Anyone with chronic GI symptoms (bloating, diarrhea, constipation), unexplained iron deficiency anemia, infertility, family history of celiac, type 1 diabetes, autoimmune thyroid disease, or considering a gluten-free diet (must test BEFORE going gluten-free).

## How much does a Celiac Disease Panel test cost?

A Celiac Disease Panel test costs $124.99 at TestWell — $130.99 all-in when ordered alone, because the $6 lab processing fee is charged once per order, with no draw fee or physician fee added. Ordered directly from the labs' own consumer sites, the closest equivalent lists at $119.00 at Labcorp OnDemand (list prices checked Sep 12, 2026; see the notes on how the products differ). Hospital outpatient labs typically bill around $250.00 self-pay for the same test, and often more. With insurance, what you pay depends on your deductible and your plan's negotiated rate; TestWell's price is fixed before the draw and is HSA/FSA-eligible.

| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| TestWell (drawn at Quest or Labcorp) | $124.99 | $130.99 | Includes the one $6 lab processing fee, charged once per order |
| Labcorp OnDemand (Labcorp's own site) | $119.00 | $119.00 | Antibody lists differ; both are celiac serology panels · [list price checked 2026-09-12](https://www.ondemand.labcorp.com/lab-tests/celiac-disease-antibody-test) |
| Hospital outpatient lab, self-pay (typical) | $250.00 | $250.00 | Reference figure; hospital charges vary widely by facility and are often higher |

## Common questions about the Celiac Disease Panel test

### Do I need to be eating gluten before the test?

Yes — critically. The Celiac Panel measures the immune response to gluten. If you've already gone gluten-free, antibody levels drop and you'll get a false negative. Eat at least 1-2 servings of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before testing.

### How much does a Celiac Panel cost without insurance?

TestWell charges $124.99 — vs $89 at Quest Direct and $150-$350 at GI clinics.

### Do I need to fast?

No fasting required for the celiac antibodies themselves.

### Why does the panel include Total IgA?

About 2-3% of the population (and ~10% of people with celiac) have selective IgA deficiency. Without checking Total IgA, a tTG-IgA test would falsely come back negative even with active celiac disease. Total IgA acts as the validity check.

### What's the CPT code?

83516 + 86225 + 86231 (Celiac antibody panel). HSA/FSA eligible.

### If antibodies are positive, what's next?

Positive celiac antibodies require endoscopic small-bowel biopsy for definitive diagnosis. Don't go gluten-free between the blood test and the biopsy — it can normalize the biopsy result and obscure the diagnosis.
