What blood work costs, and what is reimbursed
In healthcare you often learn what something cost only afterwards. With Mario Test you know in advance: one fixed price per package, everything included. This page sets out what you pay and what your insurer does and does not cover.
What you pay at Mario Test
* All prices apply to a blood draw at your home within the A10 ring. One fixed price, everything included: a BIG-registered nurse who draws your blood at home, the materials, the analysis by a recognised laboratory and a report you understand. Live outside it? Then the price is on request: WhatsApp your postcode and what you want tested.
What is included: a BIG-registered nurse who draws your blood at home, the materials, the analysis by a recognised laboratory and a report that explains every value. Packages range from € 159 to € 539. A single marker is possible from € 149.
Within the A10 ring the draw at your home is always included, wherever you live. Outside the A10 the price is on request: WhatsApp your postcode and what you want tested and you hear the total before you commit. Two of you at the same address? The second person gets € 40 off.

Is blood work reimbursed?
From basic insurance: no, without a medical indication
Preventive blood work you order yourself without a referral is not covered by the basisverzekering. Basic insurance covers testing that follows from a medical question, not testing you order out of interest.
From supplementary insurance: sometimes partly
Some supplementary policies reimburse an amount for prevention or a health check. This varies widely. Check your policy under preventie, gezondheidscheck or leefstijl.
Through your GP: then your deductible applies
If your GP orders blood work because there is a medical reason, it is covered by basic insurance. But it does count against your mandatory deductible, the eigen risico, which is € 385 in 2026.
Note the distinction that surprises many people: the GP consultation itself sits outside the deductible, the lab costs that follow from it do not. The conversation is free, the tubes are not. If you have not yet used your deductible that year, you still pay those lab costs yourself up to 385 euro.
| Route | Covered by basic insurance | Counts against deductible | Price known upfront |
|---|---|---|---|
| GP, with medical indication | Yes, the lab costs | Yes, up to € 385 per year | No, usually only afterwards |
| The GP consultation itself | Yes | No | Not applicable |
| Ordered yourself, preventive | No | No | Yes, in advance |
| Mario Test | No | No | Yes, split and in advance |
Why the price is known in advance here
In regular care the bill runs from the lab to the insurer and only then to you, which is why you rarely get a figure beforehand. Because you pay directly there is no intermediate step: the amount is fixed in advance and you can see which two components it consists of.
What that also means, stated plainly: you pay the whole thing yourself and nothing comes back from your insurer. What you get in return is choosing what gets measured and knowing the cost beforehand.

Frequently asked questions
Is a blood test without a referral reimbursed?
No, not by basic insurance.
Preventive testing without a medical indication is excluded. Some supplementary policies reimburse part of it under prevention or health check.
Does this count against my eigen risico?
No, because nothing is claimed from your insurer.
You pay directly, so your mandatory deductible of € 385 in 2026 stays untouched and available for care later in the year.
Is it cheaper through my GP?
That depends on your deductible.
If your € 385 deductible is already used up that year, GP-ordered blood work costs you nothing extra. If not, you pay those lab costs yourself. The consultation itself sits outside the deductible, the lab costs do not.
Do I pay extra for the draw at my home?
Not within the A10 ring. Outside it the price is on request.
Within the A10 ring the draw at your home is always included in the fixed price. If you live outside it, WhatsApp your postcode and what you want tested, and you hear straight away what it costs.
Are there any additional costs?
No, you get one figure in advance.
There is no registration fee, no subscription and no surcharge for the result or the report. The package price is what you pay.
Why not go to a collection point?
Because then you travel, wait and are often fasting on the way.
With Mario Test a BIG-registered nurse comes to you, at a time that suits you. You get a report that explains every value and you can simply message your questions.
Note: a blood test gives you insight and direction. It does not prove or rule out a condition on its own. Results are meant for prevention and for tracking change over time, not as a diagnosis. For symptoms or values outside the reference range, see your GP.
