Test your Lipoprotein(a) levels with Cholesterol and Diabetes Testing

If your results show that your HbA1c is outside the expected range, a clinical team member will call you to explain your results and talk you through your next steps. A written explanation of your results will also be made available on your secure dashboard, and you can download your lab report to share with your healthcare provider.

If your results show high LDL levels, you can start a virtual consultation with our healthcare providers at a time that suits you for just $39. Our providers will confirm if you are a suitable candidate for treatment during your consultation. We can then send this medication directly to your home or prescribe medication to your local pharmacy.

Please note that the medication cost will not be covered by LetsGetChecked.

Treatment for high cholesterol is at the discretion of the prescribing clinician. As your safety is our priority at all times, treatment may not suit people with an existing diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, angina, kidney disease, or liver disease. It is unsuitable if you experience shortness of breath at rest or mild exertion. It is not suitable for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

We can provide cholesterol-lowering medication delivered directly to your door in most states but, due to state regulations, we cannot provide medication in every State.
