- The Services
- All Member requests for tests are reviewed by a licensed doctor. We have partnered with a company that has doctors (“Health Consultants”) in the states where our Members reside and who are authorized by state law to review Member test requests. Test kits will only be mailed to you after your test is authorized and ordered by a licensed doctor or Health Consultant.
- Members select the desired test kit on our Site. Your desired test kit will be mailed to you after any applicable doctor review and authorization. You collect the applicable biological sample(s) and complete any required information, which may include medical information, required waivers, consents or authorizations. Failure to provide the required information or to execute the required documents may result in your sample(s) not being tested. You mail the completed test kit and biological sample(s) to one of our designated testing laboratory partners (“Lab”). Biological samples shall consist solely of human fluids and/or tissue samples, depending on the test purchased, that are intended to be analyzed for the individual’s sole use, and not for use by the individual for any other purpose, including but not limited to research, publications, commercial uses, or any other purpose other than to inform the purchaser’s health and/or wellness. Do not mail the test kit or sample(s) to us. The results of tests are sent to the Health Consultants who review and release the test results to us. We provide the test results to you via our Site in an easy to understand format. A Health Consultant will make reasonable efforts to contact you if your results are clinically significant or fall outside of our established normal ranges. We will also share the results with your insurance company under whose program you are accessing this testing as well as the provider that you designate at registration.
- When and where available, for an additional fee (“Consultation Fee”), you may purchase an additional, separate consultation with a Health Consultant through our Site. When and where available, you may also purchase other goods and services from third parties which we may make available to you. We are not responsible, or liable to you or any third party, for the content of accuracy of any materials, goods, or services provided by any third parties.
- Everlywell implements several safeguards to avoid technical errors, however some samples are less viable by the time they reach the lab and may fail analysis. We will send you a free replacement kit if your sample fails.
- Fees and Payment.
- Your insurance company has contracted with Everlywell to provide this testing to you at no cost to you as the Member. You will not be charged for or asked to provide payment information by Everlywell for the testing offered through this program.
- Everlywell also offers testing available for purchase separate from this program. Those terms are covered under a separate agreement to be used if and when you elect to purchase testing outside of this program. That testing will not be paid for by your insurance company.

You authorize us to provide this Authorization to the Health Consultants and Labs and understand that the Health Consultants and Labs may require you to execute additional documents authorizing their disclosure of your information.
