FAQs
How is this different from a lab test?
Modern Checkup uses the same Siemens Healthineers test pads that Quest and Labcorp run on their analyzers. The chemistry is identical; we package it for at-home use and read it with your phone instead of a lab analyzer.
Differences worth knowing: a lab uses a calibrated optical analyzer in a temperature-controlled room. Your phone uses the AccuraCheck™ color reference card and image processing to deliver semi-quantitative results in the same clinical range. For most people most of the time, this is more useful — because trend matters more than a single decimal place.
Will my doctor accept the results?
Most providers welcome the trend data. Modern Checkup generates a clean report you can share at your next visit, with the testing methodology and date-stamped results your doctor needs to interpret them.
What if I get an abnormal result?
An elevated reading is a prompt to follow up, not a diagnosis. We recommend re-testing to confirm the trend and sharing your report with your doctor, who can order confirmatory lab testing if needed.
Can I pause or cancel my subscription?
Yes — anytime, from your account. There are no commitments or cancellation fees. Pause for a month or cancel entirely whenever you like.
Is my data private?
Your results are yours. We never sell your health data, and your reports are only shared when you choose to share them.
What's HSA/FSA eligibility?
Modern Checkup is typically eligible for HSA and FSA reimbursement. We provide an itemized receipt you can submit to your benefits administrator.
How do I take the test?
Dip a Siemens strip, then scan it with the AccuraCheck™ app using the included color reference card. Results appear in about 60 seconds and are saved automatically to your trend.
