## [Function Health pricing vs Empirical Health](/content/testing/93263/function-health-alternative#function-health-pricing-vs-empirical-health/index.html)

Empirical Health is significantly less expensive: **$190** for the initial panel, compared to **$365/year** for Function Health. In New York and New Jersey, Function Health charges even more—up to $900—due to state regulations. Empirical Health is available in NY and NJ for just $99 extra ($289 total)—a fraction of Function Health’s surcharge.

## [Function Health’s panel vs Empirical’s panel](/content/testing/93263/function-health-alternative#function-healths-panel-vs-empiricals-panel/index.html)

Both services offer 100+ biomarkers, including the most clinically actionable markers: ApoB, Lp(a), advanced lipids, hs-CRP, and insulin resistance markers. Function Health requires two separate blood draws on different days, while Empirical Health requires just one. Function Health delivers results via a web dashboard with no actionable follow-up. Vitamin B12 and Folate are add-ons with Function Health but included in Empirical’s base panel.
