Homocysteine is an amino acid that the body produces during the metabolism of methionine, another amino acid found in protein-rich foods. Blood levels of homocysteine are influenced by vitamin status, particularly folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, and vitamin B6, as these vitamins help break it down. This test measures the amount of homocysteine in the blood. This test is used to evaluate homocysteine levels, which may be checked when assessing cardiovascular risk, investigating a suspected vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, or evaluating a rare inherited condition called homocystinuria. Elevated homocysteine can be associated with these conditions, though the test is often interpreted alongside other laboratory results.

Homocysteine: common questions

How much does a Homocysteine test cost without insurance?

The lowest self-pay price we track for Homocysteine is $12.70 at Mito Health, across 18 ordering services; the highest is $99.00. You pay the ordering service directly, and no insurance is involved. Prices were last verified on September 28, 2026.

Do you need a doctor's order for a Homocysteine test?

No. Every ordering service listed on this page includes the physician order with the purchase, so you can buy Homocysteine yourself and take the requisition to the lab. Your results come back to you — what they mean is a conversation for you and a clinician.

Where is the blood drawn for a Homocysteine test?

At a Quest Diagnostics or LabCorp patient service center, depending on which laboratory the ordering service you pick uses. You choose the location and time after you order. LabTestCompare does not draw blood, run tests, or issue results — we only compare what each service charges.

Can you use health insurance for a Homocysteine test?

No. Every price on this page is a self-pay price paid directly to the ordering service, and none of these services bill insurance. If you want Homocysteine billed through your plan instead, that goes through your own provider — which is a separate route with its own cost, and worth comparing against the prices here.

Is this the same Homocysteine test a doctor would order?

Yes — it is the same assay, identified by the same laboratory order codes: Quest #31789 and LabCorp #706994. Every price on this page is matched to that code, which is how we can say the services are being compared on an identical test rather than on similarly named products.

How long do Homocysteine results take?

That is set by the laboratory rather than by us. Routine blood tests are commonly back within a few business days and specialized assays take longer; the ordering service states the expected turnaround for Homocysteine before you buy, and delivers the result to you directly.
