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 and the GI-MAP is $404. TruAge is offered, but its price is not published, so ask our team for current pricing. Each test is added at checkout to the $599 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

  • Four of the five specialty tests have published add-on prices from $89 to $404; ask our team about TruAge.
  • Tests are not sold on their own; they are selected at checkout alongside an 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$89No provocation agent; ask our team for specimen details
Wheat Zoomer$300Blood test
TruHealth$375Explained when ordered
GI-MAP$404At-home stool kit
TruAgeAsk our team for current pricingBlood sample

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 Ask our team about turnaround times and retest pricing, since those are not published.

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. 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.

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. These 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 TruAge pricing, retests 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 or an existing relationship with the clinic, ask our team about your options.

Does membership pay for the test kits?

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

Why is there no TruAge price listed?

The clinic does not publish a TruAge price at this time. Ask our team for current pricing before you decide.

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.
