Question 1

What's the difference between subscription and à la carte blood testing?

Accepted Answer

Subscription models typically cost $3,000+ per year and include unlimited testing with coaching. À la carte testing charges per panel ($200-600) with no ongoing commitment. Break-even is typically 5-6 panels per year. Choose subscriptions for frequent monitoring, à la carte for baseline testing or targeted concerns.

Question 2

Is à la carte testing the same quality as subscription services?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Both use NATA-accredited Australian pathology labs with identical clinical quality standards. The difference is pricing model (subscription vs pay-per-panel) and services included (unlimited testing + coaching vs test-only), not lab quality or clinical accuracy.

Question 3

When does à la carte testing make more sense than a subscription?

Accepted Answer

À la carte makes sense for: baseline testing while healthy, targeted investigations of specific concerns, testing 1-4 times per year, or when you prefer flexibility without annual commitments. Subscriptions make sense for frequent monitoring (5+ panels/year) or if you value unlimited access and health coaching.

Question 4

What is the 4-tier evidence system?

Accepted Answer

ClarityLabs' evidence tier system classifies tests by clinical evidence strength: Tier 1 (guideline-backed GP standard), Tier 2 (context-dependent targeted testing), Tier 3 (research-oriented functional medicine), Tier 4 (specialist-only interpretation required). This helps reduce decision paralysis when choosing tests.
