Specialty Testing Guide

At YoungerMeMD in Conshohocken, specialty tests are add-ons to an assessment: Heavy Metals Testing is $89, the Wheat Zoomer is $300, TruHealth is $375, the GI-MAP is $404 and TruAge is $425. All five are added at checkout to either the $599 or the $724 assessment.

Ongoing care runs through membership at $279 per month, which includes interpretation of your results and your treatment plan. Testing is self-pay through the clinic. Most patients start without any specialty tests at all, and that is a reasonable choice.

Key takeaways

  • All five specialty tests have published add-on prices, from $89 for heavy metals to $425 for TruAge.
  • Tests are not sold on their own; they are selected at checkout alongside the $599 or $724 assessment.
  • Results interpretation and planning are part of membership, while the test kits are billed separately.
  • The clinic does not bill insurance for testing, so check whether a standard test through your own doctor answers your question first.

Specialty test prices at a glance

These are the current add-on prices listed on the clinic's payment page.

TestAdd-on priceSample
Heavy Metals Testing$89Urine test from Doctor's Data, no provocation agent
Wheat Zoomer$300At-home finger-prick kit
TruHealth$375At-home finger-prick kit
GI-MAP$404At-home stool kit
TruAge$425At-home finger-prick kit, after an 8 to 12 hour fast

The heavy metals test is unprovoked, meaning no chelating drug is given before collection. That matches the position of the American College of Medical Toxicology, which recommends against post-chelator challenge urine testing.1 A retest costs the same $89 as the first test, and the same rule applies to every test on this page. The lab's estimate is 7 to 10 business days for results once the sample reaches the lab.

The assessment these tests attach to

Specialty tests are optional add-ons selected at checkout together with a base assessment. The standard starting point is the $599 assessment (listed on the payment page as the Peptide Assessment), a full review of your symptoms, history and baseline labs. There is also a $724 Hormone Assessment, which adds hormones plus a review of systems for peptide recommendations.

So a first visit with one specialty test might look like this: $599 for the assessment plus $404 for a GI-MAP, or $599 plus $89 for heavy metals testing. Add-on tests can be ordered with either the $599 or the $724 assessment. If you are not sure you need a test, you can start with the assessment alone and add testing later if a clear question comes up.

Membership and what it includes

Membership is $279 per month. Members get three to four in-person or virtual visits per year, plus support between visits. In the clinic's process, membership is where the clinician recommends the specific tests you need, no more and no less, and where results are turned into a medical, nutritional and lifestyle plan.

The interpretation and planning are included in membership. The test kits themselves are billed separately at the prices above. Full details are on the membership page.

Membership is not required to have your results reviewed with your assessment. Treatment starts once you join membership.

Insurance, HSA and receipts

Testing is self-pay through the clinic; ask our team about receipts for your own insurer or HSA. We do not make promises about reimbursement, because that depends on your own plan.

Because you are paying without insurance, you also have a federal right to price clarity. Providers usually must give a good faith estimate of expected charges to self-pay patients who ask for one or who schedule care at least three business days ahead.2 If you want your full expected cost in writing before you book, ask.

Where you might spend less

Some questions are better answered first by standard tests through your own primary care doctor, which your health plan may cover. Being honest about this saves money:

  • Suspected celiac disease. The guideline first step is a celiac antibody blood test while you are still eating gluten.3 The Wheat Zoomer does not replace it.
  • Colon cancer risk. A stool microbiome test is not cancer screening. Screening is recommended for average-risk adults from age 45, through your doctor.4
  • A suspected single deficiency. A standard blood test for that nutrient is usually the right check before a broad panel.
  • Children, pregnancy or possible acute poisoning. The clinic does not test children for heavy metals or offer gut testing under 18. These situations belong with a pediatrician, obstetric team or Poison Control, not an add-on test.

If you are unsure which test, if any, fits your question, read which specialty test do I need before you check out.

Your next step

When you are ready, choose your assessment and any add-on tests on the payment page. You can be seen in person at the Conshohocken office in Montgomery County, or by telehealth if you are located in Pennsylvania. If you have questions about retests, timing or what is included, contact our team or call (215) 892-1230.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy a specialty test without the assessment?

The payment page lists specialty tests as add-ons selected with an assessment, so they are not sold on their own. If you already have recent labs from another lab, you are welcome to upload them to the patient portal for review at your first visit, since outside results are accepted.

Does membership pay for the test kits?

No. Membership covers interpretation and planning. The kits are billed separately at the listed add-on prices.

What does a retest cost?

The same as the first test, for every test: for example $89 for heavy metals or $425 for TruAge. The clinic passes its negotiated lab pricing on to patients.

Will my insurance reimburse me?

That depends on your plan. Testing is self-pay through the clinic; ask our team about receipts for your own insurer or HSA.
