Continuing cardiometabolic screening after Boston Heart
Boston Heart Diagnostics helped many clinicians look beyond the standard lipid panel. If you can no longer order Boston Heart testing, Precision Health Reports can help you keep screening your patients accurately, using Quest or Labcorp labs and a risk report designed by a board-certified lipidologist.
Request provider pricingSee what's includedThe markers that matter most, in context
Every Precision Health Reports (PHR) assessment includes the labs most closely tied to cardiometabolic risk: ApoB, Lp(a), LDL particle number, insulin resistance, inflammation and A1c. PHR then places each result in the context of the patient's own health, with guideline-based risk estimates and personal targets.
PHR is an interpretation service. It does not run its own laboratory, so your patients can use Quest or Labcorp draw sites across the country.
What every PHR report includes
- Comprehensive heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cardiometabolic risk estimates
- Personal targets to discuss with a clinician
- Works with a new draw or labs you already have
- A clinician-ready PDF to optimize shared decision-making conversations
Moving your practice from Boston Heart
Choose a PHR assessment
Standard or NMR, both covering ApoB, Lp(a), insulin resistance, inflammation and A1c. See what's included.
Choose how to order
Order labs through the PHR provider platform, or send us results from labs your practice already orders, including labs billed to insurance.
Give every patient a report
Each patient gets risk estimates, personal targets and a clinician-ready PDF. Repeat assessments show change over time.
Labs chosen for cardiometabolic risk, explained for each patient
A PHR assessment focuses on the markers with the strongest evidence for heart disease and type 2 diabetes risk, drawn at Quest or Labcorp.
ApoB and LDL particle number
Counts the particles that carry cholesterol into artery walls, a more direct measure of risk than LDL cholesterol alone.
Lipoprotein(a)
A largely genetic risk factor that standard cholesterol testing misses. Measured at the first assessment.
LP-IR or fasting insulin (HOMA-IR)
Shows insulin resistance years before blood sugar or A1c starts to rise.
GlycA or hs-CRP
Measures the low-grade inflammation that raises cardiovascular risk.
A1c and fasting glucose
Shows average blood sugar over about three months, plus today's fasting value.
Lipid panel and metabolic panel
Total, LDL and HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, plus kidney function and electrolytes.

What about Boston Heart's specialty tests?
Boston Heart also offered specialty tests such as Cholesterol Balance, HDL Map, Fatty Acid Balance and polygenic risk scores. These are not part of a PHR assessment. Clinicians who want plasma sterols can order them from Mayo Clinic Laboratories through Labcorp.

Frequently asked questions
Is Boston Heart still offering testing?
For the current status of Boston Heart's services, check with Boston Heart directly. If you can no longer order its tests, the core cardiometabolic markers are available through Quest and Labcorp, and PHR can interpret them.
What labs are included in a PHR assessment?
Every assessment includes a lipid panel, ApoB, Lp(a), an insulin resistance marker, an inflammation marker, A1c and a metabolic panel. The NMR version, drawn at Labcorp, adds LDL particle number. See the section above for details.
Can PHR use results from a Boston Heart panel?
If the results include the markers PHR needs, you may be able to use the Bring Your Own Labs option. Send us a question through the contact page if you are unsure.
Our practice billed Boston Heart tests to insurance. Can we still use PHR?
Yes. PHR assessments are not billed to insurance, but your practice can keep ordering labs through insurance at Quest or Labcorp and send the results to PHR for interpretation. Contact us for provider pricing.
Does PHR replace Cholesterol Balance or HDL Map?
No. PHR focuses on guideline-based risk estimates from widely available markers. For plasma sterols, Mayo Clinic Laboratories offers a sterols panel that can be ordered through Labcorp.
Does PHR offer provider pricing?
Yes. Clinics and practices can request pricing through the contact page.
