Lab Tests

Blood tests are expensive in the insurance-based system: often well over $100 for a single test. And even if you have insurance, your annual deductible, coinsurance and co-pays typically mean you'll pay for many of them as part of your out-of-pocket expense.

HELPcare Clinic provides unhurried primary care through an affordable monthly or annual membership, with many lab tests included at no extra charge, depending on which membership you choose:

HELPcare Quick includes point-of-care testing (e.g. rapid strep, urinalysis) needed for acute care issues.
HELPcare Standard includes our HELPcare Labs package (valued at over $1,000 in hospital-based labs) as part of your annual physical.
HELPcare Premier includes that package plus more than 100 of the most common diagnostic tests as needed, at no extra charge.

If you need a test that isn't included in your membership, your charge at HELPcare Clinic will be at least 50% less than what area hospital labs charge.

Many of our members have found they save enough on blood tests alone to pay for their entire HELPcare Clinic membership!

To learn more about the benefits of membership, give us a call at (507) 418-8465 or email us at memberships@helpcare.health.
