Frequently asked questions.

Test Yourself @ Home (TY@H) is a brand by CLIAwaived Inc., a leading marketplace for point-of-care diagnostics based in Carlsbad, CA. We offer a comprehensive range of clinically validated self-test kits — both rapid instant tests and advanced mail-in blood spot panels — that deliver reliable health insights on your schedule, wherever you are.

Our tests are designed for adults 18 and older who want convenient, private access to their own health data — whether for routine monitoring, proactive wellness, or tracking health markers before a doctor's visit.

TY@H kits are available at www.testyourselfathome.com and through your local pharmacy. We are pharmacy-recommended and currently expanding our retail distribution nationwide. If your pharmacy is not yet carrying TY@H kits, please ask them to contact us directly at 1-888-882-7739 — we would love to get them stocked.

Our instant tests are straightforward to use at home. Follow the included instructions to collect your sample, then read your result in minutes directly from the test device. No lab required — results are delivered right in your hands.

Our mail-in tests follow four simple steps: (1) Register your test online, (2) Collect your sample at home using the included collection kit, (3) Return the sample to the lab using the pre-addressed mailer, and (4) Receive your results within 2–3 business days of the lab receiving your sample. Everything you need is in the box.

Our advanced mail-in panels use a simple at-home blood spot collection method. You collect a small blood sample by pricking your finger using the included lancet and applying a few drops to the collection card. No needles, no clinic visit required.

A blood spot test involves collecting a small drop of blood from a fingertip onto a special collection card. The card is then mailed to a laboratory where it is analyzed for specific biomarkers — the same technique used in newborn screening programs.

Yes. All mail-in TY@H samples are processed at a CAP-accredited laboratory — the College of American Pathologists accreditation is one of the highest standards in diagnostic laboratory medicine, ensuring your results meet clinical quality benchmarks.

You can expect your results within 2–3 business days of the laboratory receiving your sample. Shipping time to the lab is not included in this timeframe, so allow additional time for transit.

Yes. You must register your mail-in blood spot kit before shipping. Simply scan the QR code on your kit using your smartphone and follow the on-screen instructions.

If you purchased our Instant TY@H Drug Test Cup and received a preliminary positive result, please visit testyourselfathome.com/confirm to register your cup and arrange lab confirmation testing. Please note that postage and lab confirmation fees are not included with the instant drug test cup.

Mail-in results are delivered digitally after the lab processes your sample. Instant test results are read directly from the test device at home. Specific instructions for accessing your results are included with every kit.

A result outside the reference range does not necessarily indicate a serious condition — many factors can influence test values. We recommend sharing your results with your pharmacist or healthcare provider, who can interpret them in the context of your full health picture and advise on next steps.

No. TY@H tests are intended to provide health screening information and to support conversations with your healthcare provider. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, or replace professional medical advice.

TY@H offers instant tests (Digital Pregnancy Test, UTI Test Strips, Fecal Occult Blood Test, Instant Drug Test Cup) and mail-in blood spot panels (Liver Function, PSA, Testosterone, Vitamin, Weight Loss, Heart Health, Metabolic Function, Men's and Women's Hormone Health panels).

The Weight Loss Panel (also known as the GLP-1 Panel) provides a comprehensive look at the biomarkers your healthcare provider may monitor while taking or considering weight loss medications — including Total Cholesterol, LDL, HDL, LDL/HDL and CHOL/LDL ratios, TSH, HbA1c, BUN, Total Bilirubin, AST, ALT, Glucose, and Albumin.

The Testosterone Panel measures Total Testosterone, Free Testosterone (calculated), Estradiol (E2), SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin), Albumin, Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA), and AST/ALT liver enzymes. It is designed for men on or exploring testosterone therapy, or those seeking a baseline hormonal assessment.

The Essential Vitamin Panel tests Folate, Vitamin B12, and Vitamin D together, because these three nutrients work synergistically. Low levels of any one of them can affect energy, immunity, mood, bone health, and neurological function.

Yes. All instant TY@H products (e.g. UTI and iFOB) are marketed as FDA-cleared at-home tests, while our mail-in panels are processed at a CAP-accredited laboratory. TY@H products are pharmacy-recommended.

Privacy is a core value of TY@H. You can test at home without waiting rooms, without sharing personal information in a clinical setting, and without stigma. Please refer to our privacy policy at www.testyourselfathome.com for details on how your data is handled.

In most cases, yes. However, certain medications may influence specific biomarker levels. We recommend informing your healthcare provider of any test results, especially if you are on prescription medications, so they can interpret results in context.
