What the $19.99 includes
- Authorization of the order by a licensed physician in TestWell's network — no office visit or referral.
- The lab requisition, emailed within minutes, accepted at any Quest patient service center.
- The blood draw and the lab work itself — 10 markers: pH, Specific Gravity, Protein, Glucose, Ketones, Blood, Leukocyte Esterase, Nitrite, Bilirubin, Culture (if reflexed).
- Results in your TestWell portal in 2–4 business days, with reference ranges and the option to share them with your clinician.
- One $6 lab processing fee per order — charged once, not per test, so a Urinalysis + Culture Reflex Test alone is $25.99 and adding tests to the same order adds only their sticker prices.
Why Urinalysis + Culture Reflex Test prices vary so much
The same Urinalysis + Culture Reflex Test, run on the same analyzer, can be billed at four different prices. Ordered through a hospital or clinic and billed to insurance, the charge is set by the facility's chargemaster and your plan's negotiated rate, then filtered through your deductible — the typical self-pay hospital figure is in the table above. Ordered from the lab's own consumer site, you pay the lab's retail list price. Ordered through a direct-to-consumer service like TestWell, you pay a negotiated volume rate plus the service's margin and fee.
When you compare services, add the fees before you compare: some list a low sticker price and add a draw fee and a physician fee at checkout, typically $18–$28 per order. TestWell's only addition is the $6 processing fee, once per order.
