This panel measures blood or urine levels of four of the most common toxic heavy metals: arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. Chronic exposure to these metals can cause neurological damage, kidney dysfunction, cardiovascular problems, and cancer. Exposure can come from contaminated water, food, air pollution, occupational settings, and consumer products.
Blood levels of arsenic, lead, and mercury — the three most common heavy-metal exposures in the US. Screens for environmental or dietary toxicity.
Anyone with significant fish/sushi consumption (mercury), occupational exposure (battery, paint, demolition, shooting range work for lead), well-water users in agricultural areas (arsenic), unexplained neuropathy, or chelation-curious wellness optimization.

A Heavy Metals Panel (Basic) costs $84.99 at TestWell — $90.99 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 $120.00 at Quest Health and $269.00 at Labcorp OnDemand (list prices checked Sep 12, 2026; see the notes on how the products differ). Hospital outpatient labs typically bill around $350.00 self-pay for the same test, and often more.

Blood is the gold standard for recent exposure (days to weeks). 24-hour urine is preferred for body burden and post-chelation challenge. Hair tests are widely marketed but poorly validated and not recommended by toxicologists for medical decisions.
TestWell charges $84.99 (plus a $6 lab processing fee) for the basic heavy metals panel — arsenic, lead, mercury and cadmium from one blood draw. The comparable panel is $120 at Quest Health and $269 at Labcorp OnDemand (checked September 2026), and integrative-medicine clinics typically bill $300–$700 when the testing is bundled into a visit. Note that 24-hour urine and provoked ('challenge') heavy-metal tests are different products with different prices; this is the standard whole-blood screen.
No fasting required. Avoid seafood for 48-72 hours before mercury testing to get a baseline reading not skewed by recent fish meals.
Lead: <5 mcg/dL (adults), <3.5 mcg/dL (children — CDC reference). Mercury: <10 mcg/L. Arsenic: <12 mcg/L. Above these warrants source identification and potential chelation evaluation by a toxicologist.
CDC recommends universal lead screening at 12 and 24 months for Medicaid-enrolled children and for any child in homes built before 1978. Adult screening is symptom- or exposure-driven.
