For GLP-1 program operators
GLP-1 program baseline and monitoring labs.
A repeatable lab cadence for the program you run: baseline before, monitoring during, on the panel your clinicians decide.
The operational case
Why programs build a labs cadence
A baseline before enrollment gives your clinicians objective starting numbers, entered under their own authority as part of intake.
Periodic monitoring during the program lets your clinicians follow each participant on a schedule they set, rather than reacting after the fact.
A repeatable cadence keeps operations clean. The same order runs at each interval, so a growing roster does not turn into a scheduling problem for your team.
This page is written for the program operator and clinician. Clinical content is pending optional clinical review.
Categories, not protocols
Categories clinicians commonly include
Programs vary, and the panel is a clinical choice. The categories below are generic groupings clinicians often consider when they design a cadence. Your clinicians decide the panel, the intervals, and how results are used.
Metabolic
Broad chemistry panels a clinician may use to see a general baseline and track it over time.
Glycemic
Glucose-related markers such as HbA1c that some programs include.
Lipid
Cholesterol and related markers a clinician may choose to follow across a program.
Thyroid
Thyroid markers some clinicians add to a baseline or monitoring set at their discretion.
These are category labels only, not a recommended protocol or panel. New Century Labs does not decide which tests belong in your program.
How NCL supports it
Support for the cadence you set
Repeat orders. Once your clinicians define a panel, the same order runs at each interval without rebuilding it every time.
Draw access near participants. Participants get drawn at one of 2,500+ CLIA-certified sites nationwide, close to home rather than tied to one location.
Fast results. Results return to the ordering clinician typically in 24–72 hours, though some individual tests may take longer.
A transparent per-test model. No setup fee, no monthly fee, no minimums, a small support-based clinic fee, and a small per-draw fee. Specific rates are shared with qualified programs; see how pricing works.
Ordering responsibility and every clinical decision stay with your licensed clinicians. Nationwide refers to draw access only.
Getting started
Standing up the cadence
Bring your clinicians’ panel. Tell us the baseline and monitoring tests they want to run, and we price them on our national laboratory network.
Set your intervals. Your clinicians decide when participants are tested; we make the repeat order easy to run.
Go live in about a week. Onboarding typically takes 5–7 business days from the call to your first order. See the full sequence on how it works.
Common questions
Does New Century Labs decide the panel for a GLP-1 program?
No. Your clinicians decide the panel, the intervals, and how results are used. We supply the test menu, cash-pay pricing, the draw network, and results delivery. Ordering responsibility stays with your licensed clinicians.
How do repeat monitoring draws work across a roster?
Once your clinicians define a monitoring panel, the same order runs at each interval, and participants get drawn at whichever of the 2,500+ nationwide sites is closest to them.
How fast are results for a follow-up interval?
Typically 24–72 hours from the draw, returned to the ordering clinician. Some individual tests may take longer.
What does pricing look like for a program?
No setup fee, no monthly fee, and no minimums, plus a small support-based clinic fee and a small per-draw fee. Specific per-test rates are shared with qualified programs on request; the pricing page explains the model.
