Hidden fees to watch for

Published starting prices rarely include all costs. These are the most common fee gaps buyers miss when comparing Thorne Health Tests and Upgrade Labs.

Thorne Health Tests

Medication changes, shipping, or premium tiers may still change the final bill.

Upgrade Labs

Labs, medication fulfillment, consults, or shipping may sit outside the headline price.

Lab monitoring (both)

Most telehealth programs do not include lab work in the monthly fee. Expect $75–$150 per panel, required 2–4× per year for any hormone or TRT program.
