Immunity Panel Cost: Hep B + MMR + Varicella Bundle Compared (2026)
An immunity panel bundles Hepatitis B surface antibody, MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), and Varicella IgG tests into a single blood draw — the full set of titers required by virtually every nursing and allied health program. Prices across portals range from $136 to $189. This page compares all available panel pricing with verified data from each provider's public website as of June 2026. LabReqs (via SchoolTiters.com) currently offers the lowest price in this comparison at $136.
Key takeaways
- LabReqs has the lowest listed panel price at $136.
- DirectLabs and RequestATest (Quest) both list $149.
- All five providers define the panel identically: Hep B + Measles + Mumps + Rubella + Varicella.
- For most providers, the panel is cheaper than buying the three tests individually.
Our recommendation
- At standard prices, LabReqs ($136) has the lowest listed immunity panel price and is the only provider that bundles all five components identically for under-$140.
- With the student discount (code SCHOOL2026), LabReqs' panel price falls below $136, making it the best-value option for students ordering the full Hep B + MMR + Varicella set.
- LabReqs is the only listed service that also accepts orders for patients under 18.
Why: LabReqs $136 standard vs. DirectLabs $149 and RequestATest (Quest) $149. Student discount code SCHOOL2026 reduces LabReqs further.
What an immunity panel includes
An immunity panel (sometimes called an immunization titer panel or immunity blood test panel) combines five separate titer tests into one blood draw and one order. Virtually all providers tested for this comparison define the panel identically:
- Hepatitis B Surface Antibody (anti-HBs) — quantitative, in mIU/mL
- Measles IgG — confirms immunity to rubeola
- Mumps IgG — confirms immunity to paramyxovirus
- Rubella IgG — confirms immunity to German measles
- Varicella IgG — confirms immunity to chickenpox (VZV)
Because all five providers define the panel consistently, a direct price comparison is valid here. This is different from STD panels, which vary substantially in what they include. For a full explanation of what each titer measures and what results mean, see the Titer Testing Guide.

All prices are from each provider's public website as of May 2026, sorted cheapest-first.
| Provider | Listed price | Fees note | Est. total | Lab network | What's included |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LabReqs Lowest price | $136.00 | None stated | ~$136 | LabCorp and other national networks | Hep B Surface Antibody, MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella), and Varicella titers |
| DirectLabs | $149.00 | None stated | ~$149 | Quest Diagnostics | Measles IgG, Mumps IgG, Rubella, Varicella, and Hepatitis B Surface Antibody Immunity Quantitative |
| RequestATest | $149 (Quest) / $169 (LabCorp) | None stated | ~$149–$169 | Quest Diagnostics or LabCorp (your choice) | Hepatitis B, MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella), Varicella (Chickenpox) |
| Walk-In Lab | $155.00 | None stated | ~$155 | LabCorp and Quest | Hepatitis B Surface Antibody, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Varicella-Zoster (VZV) immunity titers |
| Accesa Labs | $189.00 | None stated | ~$189 | Quest and LabCorp | Five common titers: Hepatitis B, MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella), and Varicella |

Panel vs. individual titers: which costs less?
If you need all three tests, buying a panel is almost always cheaper than ordering titers individually — at the same provider. The comparison below uses verified individual prices where available:
| Provider | Panel price | Individual sum (Hep B + MMR + Varicella) | Panel saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| LabReqs | $136.00 | $38.88 + $79.00 + $46.99 = $164.87 | ~$28.87 saving |
| DirectLabs | $149.00 | $99 (Hep B) + $74 (MMR) + n/a (Varicella not listed) = $173+ | At least $24 saving |
| Accesa Labs | $189.00 | $49 + $99 + $59 = $207 | ~$18 saving |
The panel consistently saves money versus buying three tests individually. However, if you only need one of the three titers — for example, your MMR and Varicella are already on file — it is cheaper to order only the missing test. Check your school's specific requirements before deciding.

Understanding the immunity panel and its price
The immunity panel combines five separate titer tests — Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs), Measles IgG, Mumps IgG, Rubella IgG, and Varicella IgG — into a single blood draw and single physician order. Each component measures IgG antibodies to a specific pathogen; a reactive (positive) result for each generally indicates protective immunity, while equivocal or negative results are treated as non-immune for school and healthcare compliance. For result interpretation and immunity thresholds per test, see the Titer Testing Guide.
The individual components are commonly billed under these CPT codes: 86706 (Hep B surface antibody), 86765 (measles IgG), 86735 (mumps IgG), 86762 (rubella IgG), and 86787 (varicella IgG). These codes may vary by laboratory and insurer.
Prices differ across portals because of different portal markups, which national lab network is used (Quest vs. LabCorp), and whether the portal passes lab-order fees through separately. All five providers in this comparison define the panel identically and run it through either Quest or LabCorp — test methodology is equivalent across networks.

Frequently asked questions
Which portal is cheapest for the full immunity panel?
LabReqs lists the lowest price at $136. DirectLabs and RequestATest (Quest) are both $149. Walk-In Lab is $155 and Accesa Labs is $189.
Is the immunity panel the same across all providers?
Yes — all five providers define the panel identically as five components: Hepatitis B Surface Antibody, Measles IgG, Mumps IgG, Rubella IgG, and Varicella IgG. This makes direct price comparison straightforward for this particular test.
Can I buy the immunity panel if I only need one or two titers?
You can, but it may not be cost-effective. If you only need one test, an individual titer will almost always be cheaper. Use our individual titer comparison pages (linked above) to find the cheapest price for just the test you need.
Does the immunity panel include a TB test?
Standard immunity panels do not include a TB test. LabReqs offers a separate bundle called "Immunity Panel + TB QuantiFERON Gold" at $268 that adds the QuantiFERON TB Gold blood test (commonly billed under CPT code 86480, may vary by lab). TB testing is typically ordered separately. See the QuantiFERON TB test cost comparison for standalone TB test pricing.
Which lab is cheapest for the full immunity panel?
LabReqs (via SchoolTiters.com) has the lowest listed price at $136 for the full Hep B + MMR + Varicella panel. DirectLabs and RequestATest (Quest) are both $149. Walk-In Lab is $155 and Accesa Labs is $189. With student discount code SCHOOL2026, LabReqs' price falls further below $136.
Does insurance cover an immunity panel titer test?
Insurance coverage varies by plan. The five components are commonly billed under CPT codes 86706 (Hep B), 86765/86735/86762 (MMR), and 86787 (Varicella). Some occupational health and student health plans cover immunity testing for school compliance. Check with your insurer before paying out of pocket.
How long do immunity panel results take?
Most portals deliver all five panel results within 1–3 business days after the blood draw. All components are run from a single blood sample at a Quest or LabCorp patient service center. Allow an additional day for specimen transport and processing.
