Frequently asked questions
- How much is a Lipid Panel at Quest Diagnostics?
- Quest Health, Quest Diagnostics's own consumer site, lists the Lipid Panel at $59.00 (list price checked Oct 10, 2026). Through TestWell the same Quest Diagnostics draw is $24.99 plus one $6 lab processing fee — $30.99 all-in, $28.01 less for a single test, and the fee is per order, so adding tests widens the gap. Either way you walk into a Quest Diagnostics patient service center with a requisition — through TestWell a licensed physician authorizes the order, no doctor's visit needed.
- What is the Quest Diagnostics test code for a Lipid Panel?
- Quest Diagnostics test code 7600. On a Quest Diagnostics requisition the test is printed as "Lipid Panel, Standard", billing code CPT 80061. If you are holding a doctor's order, that is the line to look for; a TestWell requisition carries the same code.
- Can I walk into Quest Diagnostics for a Lipid Panel without a doctor?
- Yes, with a requisition. Quest Diagnostics patient service centers draw what a requisition orders; they do not write orders. You can get one from your doctor, buy the test on Quest Health ($59.00), or order through TestWell ($24.99 + $6 fee), where a licensed physician in our network authorizes the order and the Quest Diagnostics requisition arrives by email, usually within minutes. New York and New Jersey do not allow self-ordered draws at Quest or Labcorp; TestWell orders from those states route to BioReference instead.
- Do I need an appointment at Quest Diagnostics?
- Most Quest Diagnostics patient service centers take walk-ins, and an appointment on Quest Diagnostics's site shortens the wait. Bring a photo ID and the emailed requisition (on your phone is fine). This test is run on a fasting sample — fast for 8–12 hours (water is fine) and book a morning slot. Fasting for 9–12 hours is recommended for accurate triglyceride and LDL results. Water is okay.
- How long do Quest Diagnostics Lipid Panel results take?
- Results post to your TestWell portal in 1–3 business days after the draw, with reference ranges and the option to share them with your clinician. Quest Diagnostics runs the sample in its own CLIA-certified laboratory whichever way it was ordered, so the result and the turnaround are the same as a doctor-ordered Lipid Panel.
- Is a Lipid Panel cheaper at Quest Diagnostics or Labcorp?
- Through TestWell the price is the same $24.99 at either lab — pick the location that is convenient; the requisition is written for the lab you choose. On the labs' own consumer sites both list it at $59.00. See the Labcorp page for that side of the comparison.
