Triglycerides are the most common fat in the body; elevated levels are linked to metabolic and cardiovascular risk. Reported on the standard lipid panel.
Below we compare what Triglycerides costs on its own against every package we track that includes it, sorted by price. Standalone prices are all-in cash prices, each lab's list price plus its one draw or physician fee, pulled from direct-to-consumer labs on the Quest or LabCorp network and verified July 2026.
How much does a Triglycerides test cost?
Triglycerides costs $34–$35 on its own, or $99–$499 in a bundle. Those are cash prices, so they're also what you pay for Triglycerides without insurance.
At Quest Diagnostics, Triglycerides comes only in its Cholesterol (Lipid) Panel ($65), not on its own, versus $34 to order it alone or $99 in a 37-biomarker bundle from other providers we track.

Cheapest option: The cheapest Triglycerides test is Ulta Lab Tests ($34), or Vitals Vault ($99) if you want a 37-biomarker bundle that includes Triglycerides.
Each standalone fee is charged once per blood draw, so ordering several markers together shares one fee. Direct-to-consumer lab prices move with promotions, so figures are point-in-time, verified July 2026. Usually ordered as part of a lipid panel. Walk-In Lab's Lipid Panel ($29 + $6 physician fee) also includes total cholesterol, HDL, and LDL.
Does insurance cover a Triglycerides test?
Usually yes, as preventive care. Most plans cover it at $0 for eligible adults, with no copay if you meet the criteria. Medicare covers the screening lipid panel once every 5 years, not annually. Outside those rules the negotiated cost is about $15 to $25, and cash is $34. Drawn at a hospital lab, the same test can be billed $150-800, so use a standalone or in-network site.
Frequently asked questions about Triglycerides testing
What is the cheapest way to get a Triglycerides test?
The cheapest Triglycerides test is Ulta Lab Tests ($34), or Vitals Vault ($99) if you want a 37-biomarker bundle that includes Triglycerides.
Do I need a doctor's order to get a Triglycerides test?
No. The standalone Triglycerides tests listed above include the physician order in their price, so you can buy it online and have your blood drawn without your own doctor. You would only need your own doctor's order if you want to bill the test to insurance.
What is a normal triglyceride level?
A normal fasting triglyceride level is under 150 mg/dL. 150 to 199 is borderline high, 200 to 499 is high, and 500 mg/dL or above is very high and raises the risk of pancreatitis.
Do I need to fast for a triglyceride test?
Ideally yes. Triglycerides rise after eating, so a 9 to 12 hour fast gives the most accurate result. Non-fasting samples can be used for general screening but tend to read higher.
