Two-minute assessment

Still not sure? Take the quiz.

Answer a few questions. We confirm we serve your state, match you to the right panel, and take you straight to checkout.

  • Men and women
  • All five lab panels
  • Clinical consultation included with every panel

Your provider may order additional testing if your results call for it. Medication is purchased separately, and treatment is prescribed only if your provider determines it is right for you.

Lab questions

Questions about your labs.

Which lab panel do I need?

It depends on the treatment you are interested in:

  • Men's testosterone therapy: Initial Men's HRT panel, $79
  • Women's hormone therapy: Initial Women's HRT panel, $89
  • Hormone therapy plus weight loss or peptides: HRT + Performance panel, $120 for men and $125 for women
  • Weight loss or peptides only: Performance panel, $59

Every panel includes a clinical consultation to review your results and evaluate you for prescription treatment. For medication prices after labs, see How much does TRT cost at NRG Clinic? and How much does women's HRT cost at NRG Clinic?

How long do lab results take?

Most results are reported within 24 to 48 hours of your blood draw. Your clinical consultation is booked once they are in.

Do I need to fast before my blood draw?

Yes. Fast for 8 hours before your draw. Water is fine. A morning draw is recommended, since testosterone is highest in the morning and you will already have fasted overnight.

What happens after my results are in?

You meet your clinician by video to review your results, symptoms and history. If treatment is right for you, your provider sends a prescription and you receive an invoice. Once it is paid, the pharmacy ships your medication, with shipping included.

Can I get my blood drawn at Quest?

Yes. Labcorp is the standard, and Quest Diagnostics is available for an additional charge.

Can I have my blood drawn at home?

Yes, where Getlabs is available. Getlabs is an independent mobile lab service that sends a phlebotomist to your home or office to draw your NRG lab order. You order your lab panel from NRG Clinic as usual, then book and pay Getlabs directly for the home visit. Their fee is separate from your NRG lab price, and NRG does not collect it.

How do I read my lab results?

Your clinician goes through every result with you during your consultation. For a marker-by-marker guide, see How to Read Your Testosterone Lab Results. If you are deciding between a lab draw and an at-home kit, see Lab vs Finger-Prick Testosterone Testing.

Can I use my own labs?

Yes, if they are recent. Send us the full report and we will tell you whether it covers what your provider needs and what, if anything, is still needed. Start with the assessment and choose the option to send your labs.

What do follow-up labs cost?

Follow-up labs are $109 for men and $124 for women at Labcorp. The price includes a clinician consult, which is used to review your labs, monitor trends, review your symptoms and answer questions about other medications. Your provider usually asks for follow-up labs at six to eight weeks and then about every six months. On a Total Care plan they are included. Details on the lab panels page.
