Questions
How does ordering work?
Every order is cash-pay: no claims, no prior authorizations, no coding disputes. The patient knows the price before the draw, and draws happen at 2,000+ locations nationwide.
How does pricing work?
New Century Labs prices before testing, not after — the patient hears the number before the draw, every time. Explore Pricing →
What billing workflows can my practice use?
Direct Pay, Service Fee, or Self-Managed Pricing. Which one fits depends on your state and payer mix — the cash-pay lab billing guide walks through all three.
How fast do results come back?
Results come back in days, not weeks. Exact turnaround varies by test.
Is a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) available?
Yes. New Century Labs operates as a HIPAA Business Associate, and a BAA is available for your practice. Request a BAA →
