Founded in 2002, Request A Test is an Ohio-based company that offers direct-to-consumer lab testing to clients across the United States.  While we weren't the first to offer customers the ability to order their own lab testing, we were one of the earliest players in the industry. We stood out among competitors with our robust menu of offerings and dedicated level of customer service.  For over 20+ years, Request A Test has been offering an affordable way for people to take charge of their health. Our core belief has always been that individuals should be empowered to order the lab testing they need when they need it at a price that is much less than they would pay in other, more traditional healthcare settings. Lab Testing Made Simple!

Is Request A Test a Scam?

While Request A Test has been in business for over 20+ years, and direct-to-consumer lab testing has been around even longer, many people are not aware that a service like ours even exists.  It's natural to have some concerns about using a new type of service when you are used to doing things the traditional way. 

You don't have to take our word for it.

Is Request A Test cheaper than a doctor?

Even if you have insurance, getting lab work done via your doctor or hospital can be costly.  Depending on your insurance plan, you may have high deductibles to pay.  Some tests may not be covered by your plan, or your provider may decide they aren't necessary.  Without insurance, you can spend hundreds of dollars or more for basic bloodwork.  On top of that, there is the cost of your doctor visits to consider.  With Request A Test, you pay one flat fee for your testing, and all of our pricing is presented up front on our website.  Our partnership with the labs allows us to negotiate the lowest price possible for you.  We have many tests starting as low as $29. In addition to our already discounted pricing on individual tests, we also offer a wide variety of packages that combine tests for even more savings.  We also offer discounts and promotions throughout the year to help our customers save on some of our most popular offerings.  In most cases, you can save hundreds of dollars or more out-of-pocket.  Request A Test understands that for lab testing to be accessible, it needs to be affordable.

How fast are Request A Test results?

With direct-to-consumer lab testing, you'll be able to review your results as soon as they are available. Once they are completed by the lab, test results are uploaded to your secure online account.  Many tests take as little as one business day to finish, and many more take just a few business days.  If your results are delayed, Request A Test will follow up with the lab and keep you updated. We know that getting information about your health shouldn't wait, and we are committed to delivering test results as quickly as possible.
