Function Health Cost (2026): The Full Price Stack, Verified

What Function Health really costs in 2026: the $365 base, the $499 price drop, imaging add-ons, HSA rules, renewals and refunds. Verified 4 September 2026.

10 min read

Most pages about Function Health cost stop at $365. That is the base membership, and it is accurate, but it is not what people actually pay. This page assembles the full stack: the base, the price history, the imaging add-ons Function does publish, the test add-ons it does not, how HSA and FSA change the real number, what happens at renewal, and what you cannot get back.

Every figure was checked against Function's own pages on 4 September 2026 and linked to the page we checked. Where Function does not publish a number, we say that instead of estimating one.

Who publishes this page, and why that matters

This page is published by Merios, which makes blood-test tracking software. Merios competes with Function Health. You should read this page knowing that.

Because of that conflict, three rules govern it. Merios is not the subject of this page and is never ranked first on it. Merios appears in exactly one row of the comparison table below, plus one section describing where you should not use it. And there are no affiliate links here: no referral codes, no tracked links, no commission if you join Function. That matters more than usual on a page like this, because Function runs a paying referral program and most cost pages you will find are enrolled in it.

If you want the head-to-head, read Function Health vs Superpower. If you want the wider field, read Function Health alternatives priced per biomarker. If you want a comparison where Merios is a candidate, read our own head-to-head and discount it accordingly.

How we priced this

Criteria, stated before any verdict:

  1. Only Function's own published pages count as a price source. Not reviews, not aggregators, not affiliate roundups.
  2. A price with no publication date is not a price. Every figure below carries 4 September 2026.
  3. Unpublished is reported as unpublished. No ranges, no "roughly," no averaging of third-party guesses.
  4. All-in cost is what matters, so the comparison at the end adds the realistic extras rather than comparing sticker to sticker.
  5. Tax treatment is arithmetic, not a discount. We show the HSA effect as a calculation you can check, and label it as ours.

The base price, verified 4 September 2026

At 160+ tests for $365 that is $2.28 per test, which is our arithmetic and not a Function figure. It is competitive: we could only verify one lab-inclusive membership below it, Hundred Health at $199 for 100+ tests, or $1.99 each.

The price history: $499 to $365

Function cut membership from $499 to $365 on 20 November 2025, announced on its own blog. The announcement is unusually explicit about scope: "Whether you're joining Function for the first time, renewing your membership, or gifting to someone you love, it's $365 across the board."

Two things follow from that. Any page quoting $499 is more than nine months stale, and the drop was a 26.9 percent cut rather than a promotion with an end date. As of 4 September 2026 the price has not moved again.

Renewal price versus first-year price

This is the one place Function's own materials are not fully consistent, and it is worth knowing before you commit.

The November 2025 announcement says $365 applies to renewals as well as new members. The pricing page footnote, however, describes "Function's $365 first-year membership," and the announcement carries a similar footnote noting the offer applies to first-year members with different terms potentially applying to renewals and add-on services.

Function does not publish a separate renewal price. Read together, the most defensible reading is that renewal is also $365, because that is what the announcement states in the body text. But the footnote language leaves room, and the membership auto-renews annually. If year-two cost is decisive for you, confirm it in writing with Function before joining rather than relying on this page or any other.

Add-on test costs: what Function does not publish

Function's FAQ says you can "test any biomarker on-demand anytime for an additional member-only cost." Its pricing page says "other items and services require additional payment." Neither states a figure, and there is no public add-on price list anywhere on the site.

Several third-party sites publish tables of Function add-on prices — hormone panels, micronutrients, heavy metals, APOE and MTHFR genotyping, Galleri. Every one we examined presents ranges with a tilde and attributes them to "reported member pricing" rather than to Function. We are not going to launder those into facts. Treat Function's non-imaging add-on pricing as unknown until you are inside the product.

That is a real cost consideration, not a footnote. If your reason for joining is a specific marker outside the standard panel, you cannot budget it in advance.

Imaging add-ons, which Function does publish

Imaging is the exception, and the prices are on functionhealth.com/imaging.

ScanMember priceList price
Annual MRI (head, neck, abdomen, pelvis, about 22 minutes)$899$999
MRI with Spine$1,499$1,699
MRI with Skeletal and Neurological Assessment$3,999Not shown separately
Heart CT$349Not shown separately
Lungs CT$399Not shown separately

Function also advertises "up to a $200 credit off imaging for Function members only," applied automatically when you book, and states that MRIs and CTs are FSA/HSA eligible with a receipt provided. Scans are available at 200+ US locations. Its FAQ notes CTs are offered for ages 35 to 85.

The arithmetic matters here more than anywhere else on the page: one Annual MRI costs more than two years of membership. If imaging is your reason for joining, the membership is the small line item, not the big one. Before booking a heart scan on impulse, read what a coronary calcium score actually tells you.

Galleri multi-cancer screening is listed as available to members, but Function does not publish its Galleri price. For scale, WHOOP sells the same test at $799 on its own storefront — a different vendor, not a Function quote.

HSA, FSA, and what the tax treatment is really worth

Function accepts no insurance at all, so the only mechanism that reduces the real cost is pre-tax money.

Function's FAQ confirms HSA/FSA eligibility, tells you to confirm with your own plan, and is specific about the paperwork: download the Itemized Receipt from Payment History, not the Stripe receipt, and note the itemized receipt only becomes available once you have a scheduled date of service.

The saving is your own marginal rate. Our arithmetic, not Function's:

SituationEffective cost of $365Saved
Paid with after-tax cash$365$0
22 percent federal bracket, payroll-deducted HSA avoiding 7.65 percent FICAabout $257about $108
32 percent federal bracket, payroll-deducted HSA avoiding FICAabout $220about $145

Two caveats. State income tax treatment of HSA contributions is not uniform, so your figure will differ. And a reimbursement from an existing HSA balance saves the income tax but not the FICA, so the middle row overstates it for that route. Confirm with a tax professional rather than with a comparison page.

Card offers, referral credits, and discount codes

Chase Sapphire offer — expired. Function published an offer giving Sapphire Reserve holders 50 percent cash back on a $365 membership, capped at $182.50, and Sapphire Preferred holders 15 percent, capped at $55. Function's own page states the offer is valid "through March 31, 2026." That date has passed. Function's page has not been updated to say so, which is exactly why a verification date belongs on every figure like this.

Referral credits — live, and worth less than they used to be. Function's FAQ states the current program pays "$25 to you for every successful referral" once the referred person stays a member 60 days, plus "$25 toward the first year of membership for the person you refer." The same answer notes that members previously received $100 per referral with nothing for the referred member. Gifted memberships are not eligible, and licensed healthcare professionals cannot collect referral fees.

Podcast and creator discount codes. Codes circulate widely. Function does not publish a list of them, we have no way to verify which are live on any given day, and we would earn nothing from linking them. Assume $365 is your price unless a code visibly applies at checkout.

Refunds and cancellation

Function's FAQ is blunt: "Function does not offer refunds for prior payments." Pauses are not available. You can cancel and rejoin at any time, but the year you already paid for is spent.

There is a second, quieter cost in the structure. The mid-year test is included, but Function's FAQ states you "must use your Mid-Year Test before your annual renewal" and that it "doesn't roll over." Skip it and your effective cost per test rises from $2.28 to roughly $3.65, because you paid for 160+ and used 100+. On an annual prepayment with no refunds, the second draw is the part most likely to be quietly forfeited. Our guide to how often you should actually get bloodwork is worth reading before you assume you will use it.

All-in annual cost against four alternatives

Sticker against sticker is misleading, so this compares realistic annual totals. All alternative prices verified 4 September 2026 on the vendors' own pages.

ScenarioAnnual costNotes
Function, membership only$365160+ tests across two draws
Function, membership plus Heart CT$714Before any imaging credit
Function, membership plus Annual MRI$1,264Member MRI price, before the up to $200 credit
Superpower$349 ($299 first-year promo)150+ markers annually
Hundred Health$199100+ lab tests, cheapest verified per test at $1.99
Quest Health Elite Health Profile$405 one-off$399 plus $6 physician fee, 85+ markers, no membership
Merios (publisher of this page)Free Basic, or $14.99 per monthNo blood draw included at any price

The honest read: on membership alone Function sits mid-field, cheaper per test than buying the same Quest panel retail and more expensive per test than Hundred Health. It moves out of that band the moment you add imaging, and that is where most people's Function bill actually diverges from $365.

When Merios is the wrong choice

We would rather you buy the right thing than the thing we sell. Cases where Function, or another product above, is the correct purchase:

  • You do not already get bloodwork. Merios has no lab and cannot order one. The $365 is buying the draw, and Merios does not replace it.
  • You want a clinician to review results. Function states clinician review of every result as part of the membership. Merios has no clinicians and is not a medical service.
  • You want imaging or cancer screening. Merios does no MRI, CT, or Galleri.
  • You want one bill covering everything. Merios' price excludes lab fees entirely; add a comprehensive panel and your total can exceed $365, at which point Function is cheaper and more complete.
  • You want HSA or FSA reimbursement for the testing itself. Function issues an itemized receipt for a medical service. Software subscriptions are generally not treated the same way.
  • You are not in the Apple ecosystem. Much of Merios' value is Apple Health integration.

What we could not verify

  • The New York and New Jersey price. Function says testing there can cost more; it does not say how much. This is the single most-requested number we could not confirm, and it is the honest answer to "Function Health cost NYC."
  • Add-on test prices for anything other than imaging, including Galleri.
  • The renewal price as a distinct figure. The announcement says $365 across the board; the footnotes say first-year. Both are Function's own words.
  • Whether the Chase Sapphire offer was extended past 31 March 2026. Function's page still shows it without an expiry notice.

For what the money is meant to buy in the first place, what belongs in a longevity blood panel and biomarkers worth tracking for longevity are more useful than any marker count, and blood test tracking apps covers what to do with results once you have them.

Frequently asked questions

  • How much does Function Health cost in 2026?
    $365 per year, billed annually, which Function markets as $1 per day. That price is stated on its pricing page and applies in all states except New York and New Jersey, where its footnote says testing can cost more due to state regulations without naming a figure. The membership covers 160+ lab tests across two draws a year. Imaging, Galleri multi-cancer screening and on-demand extra biomarkers all cost more on top.
  • Did Function Health drop its price, and what was it before?
    Yes. Function announced on 20 November 2025 that membership was moving from $499 to $365 per year. Its announcement states the new price applies whether you are joining for the first time, renewing, or gifting — $365 across the board. Any page still quoting $499 is more than nine months out of date. The price has not moved again as of 4 September 2026.
  • Is Function Health HSA or FSA eligible, and how much does that actually save?
    Function's FAQ says yes and that members can download an itemized receipt from Payment History to submit for reimbursement; it notes the Stripe receipt is not sufficient. Function also tells members to confirm eligibility with their own plan. The saving is your marginal tax rate, not a discount from Function. For someone in a 22 percent federal bracket paying through a payroll-deducted HSA that also avoids 7.65 percent FICA, $365 pre-tax costs about $257 after tax. State treatment varies and some states do not follow the federal rules, so check with a tax professional.
  • Does insurance cover Function Health?
    No. Function's FAQ states it is '100% insurance-free. No deductibles, no co-pays, no surprise bills.' You cannot bill a Function membership to an insurer, and Function does not submit claims. The practical consequence is that if your insurer already covers an annual panel through your physician, the overlapping portion of the $365 buys you convenience and interpretation rather than tests you could not otherwise get.
  • How much do Function Health add-on tests cost?
    Function does not publish an add-on price list. Its FAQ says you can test any biomarker on demand 'for an additional member-only cost' and its pricing page says certain items require additional payment, but no figures are given for individual biomarkers, hormone panels or genotyping. Imaging is the exception and is priced publicly. Third-party sites circulate ranges for other add-ons; none of them cite Function as a source, so we do not repeat them here.
  • Does Function Health cost more in New York City or New Jersey?
    Function's pricing footnote states the $365 membership applies in all states except New York and New Jersey, and its FAQ says testing in those two states can cost more due to state regulations. Function does not publish what the New York or New Jersey price is. If you are in New York City, expect to see a figure above $365 at checkout, and treat any specific number you read elsewhere as unverified.
