At a glance
The blood tests worth bringing to an annual physical go beyond the standard basic panel: this bundle measures 78 biomarkers across 17 tests, including ApoB, hemoglobin A1c, hs-CRP, a full thyroid panel, vitamin D, iron status, and complete liver, kidney, and blood-count chemistry. It is designed for adults who want to arrive at their checkup with results in hand, so appointment time goes to interpreting data instead of waiting on orders. You can order online without a doctor's visit, and many results arrive in 24–48 hours.
Best suited for
- Adults preparing for an annual physical who want results in hand before the visit
- Patients whose checkups include only a basic metabolic panel and lipid screen
- People who want to use appointment time to discuss results, not wait for orders
- Anyone building a year-over-year lab history to review with their doctor

Key biomarker ranges
Commonly used adult reference ranges for markers this panel measures, labs vary, so always interpret results against your lab's stated ranges and with your doctor.
Commonly used reference ranges place fasting glucose at 70–99 mg/dL; results vary with sleep, stress, and recent illness, and labs differ slightly.
| Zone | Range |
|---|---|
| Low | 50–70 mg/dL |
| Optimal | 70–100 mg/dL |
| Prediabetic range | 100–126 mg/dL |
| Diabetic range | 126–160 mg/dL |
Commonly used reference ranges place HbA1c below 5.7%; conditions affecting red blood cells can skew results, so labs and clinicians interpret in context.
| Zone | Range |
|---|---|
| Optimal | 4–5.7 % |
| Prediabetic range | 5.7–6.5 % |
| Diabetic range | 6.5–10 % |
Commonly used reference ranges favor ApoB below ~90 mg/dL; people with higher baseline cardiovascular risk are often advised toward lower targets.
| Zone | Range |
|---|---|
| Optimal | 0–90 mg/dL |
| Borderline high | 90–110 mg/dL |
| High | 110–160 mg/dL |
The importance of testing
A typical annual physical squeezes labs into a narrow window: tests are ordered at the visit, results arrive days later, and the follow-up conversation often happens by portal message, if at all. Testing beforehand flips that sequence. You walk in with 78 biomarkers already resulted, and your appointment becomes a working session on the numbers.
The panel is built to support that conversation. Cardiometabolic markers, Apolipoprotein B, a full lipid panel, hemoglobin A1c, and hs-CRP, are markers associated with heart and blood sugar health that go deeper than the standard cholesterol printout. A TSH, Free T3, and Free T4 panel covers thyroid signaling, and vitamin D, ferritin with iron and TIBC, magnesium, and phosphate flag nutrient gaps worth discussing.
Organ and blood health round it out: a comprehensive metabolic panel plus GGT, LD, and uric acid track liver and kidney chemistry, while a CBC with differential and platelets screens blood-count basics. Together they give your doctor a broad, current dataset to react to.
If you repeat the panel before each yearly physical, you also build a personal trend line. Year-over-year movement in markers like A1c, ApoB, or ferritin is often more informative to discuss with your doctor than any single reading.

Which blood tests should I get before an annual physical?
A useful pre-physical set covers cardiometabolic, thyroid, nutrient, organ, and blood-count markers, which is exactly what this 17-test, 78-biomarker panel bundles: ApoB, lipid panel, hemoglobin A1c, hs-CRP, TSH with Free T3 and Free T4, vitamin D, ferritin and iron/TIBC, a comprehensive metabolic panel, GGT, LD, uric acid, and a CBC. Your doctor may add or remove tests based on your history, so view this as a starting dataset to review together.
Can I order these labs myself, without a doctor's appointment?
Yes, no doctor's visit is required to order. The partner lab supplies the physician-authorized requisition; you order online, visit one of roughly 2,100 draw sites (most visits take 15–30 minutes), and receive results privately in your online account.
How far ahead of my physical should I test?
Testing one to two weeks before your appointment is a comfortable buffer: many results return in 24–48 hours, but turnaround can vary by test and location. That window leaves time to download your report and note questions for your doctor.
Will this replace the labs my doctor orders at the physical?
Not necessarily, it is a complement, not a substitute. Your clinician may still order tests specific to your history or insurance-covered screenings; bringing these results simply means the conversation starts from data rather than from scratch.
Is this panel available in all US states?
No, direct-to-consumer lab testing is restricted or prohibited in New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island, so residents of those states may be blocked at the partner's checkout. Most other states are served through the partner's nationwide draw-site network.
