Biochemical Report Card

Biochemical Report Card

An accurate diagnosis is the first step in treating any condition. If your doctor does not understand all the factors that contribute to your hair loss, they cannot effectively treat it.


After more than 25 years of research and clinical treatment, Dr Nettles has discovered that the factors responsible for hair loss can be as unique as each individual.  As a result, he developed a comprehensive set of lab panels to identify not only the factors contributing to hair loss, but that also impact your overall health and well-being.


What Tests does the Biochemical Report Card (BRC) Include?

Dr Nettles discovered that both genetic and lifestyle factors contribute to hair loss. For 95% of hair loss cases, there is a genetic component involved, and for most of those, the condition is made worse by lifestyle factors such as nutrition, stress or other health issues. 


The Biochemical Report Card test panels cover all those areas so that we can understand exactly what is and is not contributing to your hair loss. The comprehensive test set, contains the minimum tests required to assess your condition and what the Stop and Regrow hair regrowth program can do for you.

How We Use the Data from Your Biochemical Report Card?

As part of your two-part assessment for any of our programs, Dr Nettles will review and analyze your results and create you a personalized plan designed to get you so healthy your hair will grow on its own, plus you will prevent the onset of many so called age related diseases which we have found stem primarily from poor nutrition and/or imbalanced biochemistry. Your plan will be comprised of the following components:
  • Nutrition guidance and recommendations
  • Exercise where needed
  • Stress management as required
  • Supplements depending on deficiencies identified in your labs

Where Can I Get the Biochemical Report Card?

Dr Nettles has created alliances with both LabCorp and Quest, the two biggest lab providers across the US. As such your labs can be drawn at either of those company’s over 4,000 blood draw centers around the country. There is sure to be a lab near you.

How Much Does the Biochemical Report Card Cost?

The cost of your Biochemical Report Card can vary depending on your insurance coverage. Dr Nettles has negotiated a cash pay price for the tests when billed through our account due to the volume of these tests that we order on a daily, weekly and annual basis. Please review the below payment options to see which is best suited for you.


PPO Insurance Coverage


If you have a PPO insurance that covers labs without a copay or you have met your deductible then the answer is yes, most likely the Biochemical Report Card tests will be fully covered for you.


Just be careful if you have a high deductible which you have not yet met, as the labs at full cost when billed to insurance range from $1,600 to $1,900. In that case, you may wish to take advantage of our cash pay price below instead.


HMO Insurance (incl. Kaiser)


If you are insured with an HMO (and this includes Kaiser), labs are generally covered only if ordered by your primary care physician (PCP). If you have a good relationship with your PCP we can work with you to have them order the tests you need so they are covered. Please note many of the tests we need are not regularly ordered or understood by other doctors (including specialists), so getting all the tests ordered can sometimes be challenging.


Stop and Regrow Cash Pay Price


Because we do so many of these tests on a regular basis, we have been able to negotiate the discounted rates listed below when they are billed directly to us and we can pass on those discounts to you.

 

  • Hair Biochemical Report Card (incl. Nutrition Panel and Genetics/Hormone Panel) - $445.00
  • Anti-aging Biochemical Report Card (incl. IGF-1 assessment) - $545.00
