What it measures
C-reactive protein measured with a high-sensitivity assay (hs-CRP) in blood. CRP also rises with infection and other inflammation.
Lab: Quest or Labcorp (varies by seller) · Specimen: Blood draw at a patient service center
Evidence level: Widely used, with known limits
The 2018 AHA/ACC cholesterol guideline lists hs-CRP of 2.0 mg/L or higher, if measured in selected individuals, as a risk-enhancing factor that can inform decisions in borderline- or intermediate-risk adults. The US Preventive Services Task Force (2018) concluded that evidence is insufficient to assess adding hs-CRP to traditional risk assessment in adults without symptoms (I statement). CRP rises with infection and other inflammation, so a single result is not specific to cardiovascular risk.

What's included in the hs-CRP test price?
Each row is the seller's listing for the hs-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) (lab: Quest or Labcorp (varies by seller); specimen: Blood draw at a patient service center). The Total column adds fees the seller lists on the product page: TestWell ($6 lab processing fee (per order)), Walk-In Lab ($6 physician fee (per order)).

Which states restrict ordering a hs-CRP test?
Our price check did not record a state restriction on these listings. State rules for consumer-ordered lab tests vary and sellers may block some states at checkout, so confirm on the seller's page.
Can I use an HSA or FSA to pay?
The IRS counts "laboratory fees that are part of medical care" as medical expenses (IRS Publication 502), and defines medical care as the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease. Whether a particular at-home test qualifies depends on that and on your plan's rules, so check with your HSA or FSA administrator before paying.
Why do prices differ so much?
Sellers set their own prices for the same lab's kit and may bundle practitioner authorization, consultations, shipping or add-ons. The table shows the price and any separately listed fees as posted on each seller's public page on the date checked.
How current are these prices?
All prices were checked on Oct 20, 2026. Prices and availability (including state restrictions) change; confirm on the seller's page before ordering.
