Apple Health users can soon get a full lab test panel from Quest

Published

The upgraded Apple Health experience can pull from hundreds of data points, but if you don’t have recent lab results to provide, a Quest panel can be ordered through the app without getting a doctor’s order.

Apple Health will soon get new features built around Apple Intelligence. Every data point that can be included will help provide a holistic view of your health, but not everyone has ease of access to medical labs.

If you’ve already got a medical provider and had labs done recently, they may already be in Apple Health through Health Records, or can be provided via PDF. For everyone else, Apple has partnered with Quest Diagnostics to provide a comprehensive set of labs, on demand.

The service can be found and ordered in the new Apple Health experience when it launches later in 2026. It will cost $119 for a panel that pulls over 50 biomarkers.

The labs will be performed at one of 2,000 locations found across the United States. It’s a much cheaper option than ordering the labs manually, especially if you don’t have active insurance.

Apple Health’s Lab Results tab was already quite comprehensive and included desired levels and explanations. The lab results Apple Health looks for will require blood work, urinalysis, and body measurements.

The information listed in the UI shown during the event suggests quite the range of biomarkers. They are:

  • Blood Health
  • Cardiac
  • Cholesterol
  • Glucose
  • Kidney
  • Liver
  • Blood Pressure
  • Body Metrics

Quest doesn’t have locations in every state, so some may need to travel to get the labs done. If the distance becomes too cost-prohibitive, look into getting labs done at a local clinic.

The $119 can also be paid using HSA or FSA funds, though that may or may not cover the included $6 physician service fee.

Once the Quest labs are done, they’ll automatically be populated in the Apple Health app. These results can be useful for understanding your overall health, and will be an excellent data point for Apple’s new AI-powered health app.

The Quest labs also include an optional doctor consultation to review results.
