Which to choose
Best for: lowest published à la carte sticker
Ulta Lab Tests at $22.95 for CBC, CMP, lipid, or A1c. Confirm the cart — Ulta runs frequent sales and the quick-order list moves.
Best for: one named bundle at a national lab
Labcorp OnDemand $99 Standard (CBC + CMP + UA) or Quest Basic / Comprehensive / Elite if you want a branded profile and a Quest site (or $79 in-home draw).
Best for: the closer draw site
When Ulta and the lab storefronts are within a few dollars, pick the location. A $6 Quest fee plus a 40-minute drive is not cheaper than a $29 Labcorp CBC at the Walgreens next door.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ulta Lab Tests cheaper than Quest Health or Labcorp OnDemand?▼
For the common à la carte line items as of September 5, 2026, yes on published sticker. Ulta Lab Tests lists CBC, CMP, lipid panel, and A1c at $22.95 each on its quick-order page (lipid + CMP combo $45.95; CBC + CMP combo $39.95). Quest Health lists CBC $29, CMP $49, lipid $59, A1c $39 — plus a Physician Service Fee starting at $6 on many tests. Labcorp OnDemand lists CBC $29, CMP $49, lipid $59 ($44.25 on a 25% sale), and Diabetes Risk (HbA1c) $39. Bundles can flip the math: Labcorp’s Standard Health Test is $99 (CBC + CMP + urinalysis). Confirm the live cart — promotions move weekly.
Can I order these lab tests without a doctor visit?▼
Yes. Ulta, Quest Health, and Labcorp OnDemand are direct-access storefronts: you buy online, an independent clinician authorizes the order, and you visit a draw site (or use a kit). This is a convenience pathway, not a substitute for clinical care. Abnormal results should be reviewed with your own clinician.
How much is a CBC, CMP, lipid panel, and A1c without insurance?▼
As of September 5, 2026: Ulta $22.95 per test (about $91.80 if you buy all four separately; some Ulta panels bundle them cheaper). Quest about $29 + $49 + $59 + $39 = $176 before the $6 Physician Service Fee. Labcorp about $29 + $49 + $59 + $39 = $176, or $99 for the Standard panel if you only need CBC + CMP + UA. These are published storefront prices, not a guaranteed quote.
Does Ulta use Quest or Labcorp for the actual draw?▼
Ulta Lab Tests partners with Quest Diagnostics for draws at Quest patient locations (Ulta also lists Labcorp collection on some products). Quest Health draws at Quest sites (optional Quest Mobile in-home collection listed at $79 extra). Labcorp OnDemand draws at Labcorp Patient Service Centers and Labcorp at Walgreens. The assay is a national-lab venous draw either way — you are paying for the purchasing pathway and the posted cash price.
Do these self-pay labs accept HSA or FSA?▼
Labcorp OnDemand states most of its health tests are HSA/FSA eligible. Quest notes you may be able to use FSA/HSA and advises checking your plan. Ulta accepts HSA/FSA on cash-pay orders. Confirm eligibility with your plan administrator before you assume a test qualifies.
Ulta vs Quest vs Labcorp — which should I pick?▼
Pick on the exact cart and the closest draw site. Ulta usually wins published à la carte sticker for CBC/CMP/lipid/A1c. Labcorp wins a simple $99 Standard bundle. Quest wins if a Quest site (or $79 in-home draw) is more convenient and you want named Health Profiles ($199 / $329 / $399). Price the same tests the same week.
