Thyroid Test
LetsGetChecked provides a true end-to-end clinical experience, including physician review and a nursing consultation if results are abnormal. Their labs are CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited, ensuring that the home-collected capillary blood sample meets the same standards as a hospital draw.
Quality & Materials
Collection kits include high-quality lancets and microtainers with precise EDTA or serum-separating additives to ensure sample stability.
Evidence & Testing
All tests are validated against traditional venous draws. The company uses ISO 13485 certified manufacturing for its collection kits.
Brand Transparency
Full transparency regarding lab locations and the medical team reviewing results. Results are delivered via a secure, encrypted portal.
Value Assessment
Priced competitively for a full panel. The inclusion of a 1-on-1 nurse call for out-of-range results provides significant value over 'results-only' platforms.
Why Not Alternatives?
Unlike many 'health-tech' startups that outsource everything, LetsGetChecked owns its labs, leading to better chain-of-custody and faster turnaround times. Their thyroid panel includes TSH, Free T3, and Free T4, whereas some competitors only test TSH.
