You’ll get notified by email when your test results are added to your account. ✅

What day should I mail my test kit back?

If the test(s) you are ordering requires a test kit (indicated next to “Specimen Type” on every test page), you will need to mail it back to the lab. The return shipping label and bag are included. It is suggested to mail the kit back on a Monday or Tuesday in order to avoid weekend mailing delays. We do not suggest mailing kits on a Friday.

Do I fill out the billing information and signature area
on the form I received?

You have already paid for your tests so leave any billing sections on your form blank.

You may see an area for a physician’s signature. We have already electronically signed the form so no physical signature is needed.

All other information must be completed (name, address, sample collection time, etc.)

I can’t find the test I’m looking for?

We have access to thousands of tests, many we don’t post online. If you are seeking a specific test, you can submit your request here . If the test is available, we will respond ASAP. Back to Top

Will I be receiving a test kit by mail or a requisition form by email?

If the test you are ordering is a kit that we mail you, you will see the label next to “specimen type” at the bottom of every test page. If it does not mention a test kit then you will only receive a requisition form via email.

I want to order for someone else. What do I do?

When checking out, the person you are ordering the test for goes in the “shipping information“. Your information goes in the billing section.
If you are ordering for multiple persons or have an existing account and need to order tests for another, enter their information in the “additional comments” box during the checkout process:
  • First/Last Name
  • Email Address
  • Mailing Address
  • Date of Birth + Age
  • Phone Number
  • Which test you are ordering for them. Back to Top

Are there any Tax and/or Shipping Fees?

Standard shipping is free in the USA. Shipping fees may apply for lab test in the Europe category.

Fees to other countries may apply. Contact us to check shipping cost in your country.

Every lab test order is tax free! Back to Top

Do I need to see my healthcare provider to get tested?

No. Direct access testing allows greater participation in one’s own healthcare. Your healthcare provider can refer you to True Health Labs, but it’s not a requirement.

You can order any test without your doctor. We write the order for you.

You can feel secure because True Health Labs uses the same labs as healthcare providers and hospitals, which are CLIA-certified and regulated by appropriate governmental agencies. True Health Labs also uses other specialty laboratories. Back to Top

Can I order lab tests in my state or country?

**Some tests can NOT be collected in the state of NY, NJ, MA, RI, or outside the USA. This restriction will be noted in the test description. If it is not noted, then the test can be collected in all states except New York. However, these tests can be completed in a nearby non-restricted state.
Canada: Please visit our Canada lab test category. Remember, if you decide to travel to the USA, all lab tests on TrueHealthLabs.com are available to you.
Blood Draws in Canada: You must contact a local clinic or hospital for all blood draws.
Return Shipping: Due to international regulations, you may need to arrange shipping back to the lab.
Europe: Only tests in the Europe category are available. Back to Top

Where do I have my sample drawn? Is there a draw fee?

See “Draw Locations“. Back to Top

Should I fast before taking the test?

It depends on the test. It is recommended that you avoid food for 10-12 hours when testing for glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides (fasting instructions are indicated on each test description). Water is permitted during your fast. Back to Top

How reliable are the results?

We use the leading national laboratories, which are fully CLIA accredited. Some are the same labs your healthcare provider uses. We also use the leading laboratories in alternative medicine to give you and your healthcare provider(s) maximum treatment options. Back to Top

Are my results confidential?

Absolutely. We respect your privacy and maintain confidentiality. You are the only one who receives your results. Not even your insurance company will obtain results from True Health Labs and/or its associates. Back to Top

When will I receive the results?

Your results will be added to your account within 24 business hours after True Health Labs receives them. You’ll get a friendly email that your lab test results are ready. Back to Top

What if I receive an abnormal result?

Abnormalities should be considered an early warning, but do not necessarily indicate you have an illness or disease. We strongly recommend you discuss the results with your healthcare provider for evaluation, further testing and diagnosis. To save you on lab costs, it is recommended you get a list of follow-up tests your healthcare provider suggests then return to our site. Back to Top

Will I be able to understand the results?

Some results may be self-explanatory such as those that are “high” or “low”. Many tests also have “functional ranges” which can help identify more subtle changes that could be detrimental to your health. One of our trained doctors can help you understand your results at your request. Back to Top

How do I access my test results?

Test results are securely uploaded to your account. You’ll get a friendly reminder by email.

How do I check on the status of my test results?

Will my healthcare provider receive a copy of my results?

We deal directly and confidentially only with you and give test results directly to you. You will be able to print out your results and take them to your healthcare provider. Back to Top

Does Medicare cover my tests?

True Health Labs has negotiated discounted cash prices with the laboratories, therefore, lab costs cannot be submitted to Medicare. Back to Top

Are tests covered by my insurance?

In order to provide you with the lowest prices on lab tests, insurance can not be used. TrueHealthLabs.com does not engage in diagnosing and does not form a doctor-patient relationship. Back to Top

Can I cancel my order?

You may cancel prior to the specimen collection with a refund equal to the price of the total order less a 10% cancellation fee, if canceled within four (4) months from the date of the order.

There is no cancellation refund after four (4) months unless other arrangements are made before the four (4) month cut-off date.

If you are holding a test for greater than four (4) months (with no specimen collection), send an “extension” email to support@truehealthlabs.com.

We can not issue refunds for undesirable results. All the labs have strict quality control protocols. If there are issues with the sample or the testing process, the labs reject the sample and contact us for a recollection. This said, refunds can not be issued once the sample has been received by the lab. Back to Top
