Paying for It

You can pay with an HSA or FSA card at checkout, or submit a receipt to your plan administrator (subject to your plan's rules). Rythm deliberately doesn't bill insurance: that skips insurer authorization requirements and eliminates unexpected insurance billing, while your HSA and FSA funds still apply.

Getting Started

Rythm ships to all 50 states. You don't need to schedule an appointment with your personal physician to order the required ordering and laboratory processes are handled within Rythm's clinical workflow.

The Subscription

Rythm is built for repeated longitudinal testing, because that's where the insight lives but the subscription is flexible. Test monthly while you're establishing a baseline or actively making changes (Rythm recommends at least three tests before widening the interval), then skip for up to 90 days or adjust your cadence per the current policy.

How Fast Are Results?

Within 48-72 hours of your sample reaching Rythm's laboratory.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Rythm different?

Most blood testing companies charge $500 or more for a single test per biomarker, providing only a one-time snapshot that doesn’t capture your long-term health trends or reflect your true baseline. This approach can lead to missed patterns or even misdiagnoses due to limited data. Rythm takes a different approach, using monthly tracking to build a detailed picture of your health over time. This allows for more accurate insights, better optimization, and a clearer understanding of how your body is evolving.
