What it measures
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in blood.
Lab: Quest or Labcorp (varies by seller) · Specimen: Blood draw at a patient service center
Evidence level: Established
Scope: Established for evaluating thyroid function; USPSTF evidence insufficient for screening asymptomatic adults.
The 2012 AACE/ATA hypothyroidism guideline states that serum TSH is the single best screening test for primary thyroid dysfunction in most outpatient situations. Separately, the US Preventive Services Task Force (2015) concluded that evidence is insufficient to assess the benefits and harms of screening nonpregnant adults without symptoms (I statement). TSH alone does not evaluate central (pituitary) thyroid disease.

What's included in the TSH test price?
Each row is the seller's listing for the TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) (lab: Quest or Labcorp (varies by seller); specimen: Blood draw at a patient service center).

Which states restrict ordering a TSH test?
Sellers in our table note these limits: True Health Labs: Quest self-order not available in NY, NJ, MA, RI. 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.
