Please read these terms before using the Site.
Effective date: [EFFECTIVE DATE]
These Terms govern your use of novanyou.com (the “Site”) and the NOVA & You laboratory testing service, operated by Nova & You Inc. (“NOVA & You,” “we,” “us”). By using the Site or placing an order you agree to them.
What the service is
NOVA & You is a direct-to-consumer laboratory testing service. You browse tests on this Site and complete checkout, account creation and results access through the Luminate Health platform and its laboratory network. All laboratory orders are reviewed and authorized by a licensed clinician as required by law. When you check out you also agree to the Luminate Health Terms of Service, and your information is handled by Luminate Health under its Privacy Policy.
Important disclaimer
NOVA & You laboratory testing services are intended for informational and wellness purposes only. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. We cannot diagnose a condition or illness, and using the Site or service does not create a doctor-patient relationship. Quiz recommendations are general suggestions based on the answers you give, not a diagnosis or medical advice. Always consult your healthcare provider about medical concerns or before making health decisions. If you think you have a medical emergency, call 911.
Conditions of purchase
To add a test to your cart you confirm that:
- You are over 18 years old.
- You are purchasing the test for yourself. We do not support ordering tests for other people, including minors.
- You will have your samples collected in one of the 27 states where the service is available: AZ, DE, FL, GA, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MT, NE, NH, NJ, NY, ND, OH, OK, PA, SD, TN, UT.
- Your order expires 30 days after purchase if no sample has been collected (see Cancellations, refunds and expiration below).
Results and interpretation
You accept responsibility for seeking interpretation of your results and do not hold NOVA & You or its affiliated laboratories responsible for interpreting them. False positive and false negative results are possible, and results may or may not alert you to a serious medical problem. Results can vary with age, sex, time of day, diet, medications and the limits of current technology. A normal result does not mean you do not need medical attention, and an abnormal result may not be abnormal for you, because your complete medical history must be considered. A physician is best able to evaluate what your results mean.
Results are usually available in your patient portal within 2 to 5 business days, depending on the test (some tests, such as the gut microbiome panel, can take up to 2 weeks). Your results are not reported to any physician. It is your responsibility to share them with your healthcare provider. If a result needs timely attention, a healthcare provider will contact you, so please give a valid phone number.
Pricing, clinician fee and payment
- Prices are in US dollars and may change.
- Each order price includes a clinician oversight fee. Because the state of New Jersey requires testing to be approved by a medical professional, part of the price covers that approval, and the fee is collected on behalf of the clinician or clinician group.
- Mobile phlebotomy may carry an additional fee.
- We accept major credit and debit cards, processed by a third-party payment platform.
- We do not bill insurance, and tests are not reimbursed by insurance. HSA/FSA eligibility depends on your plan, so check with your plan administrator.
Cancellations, refunds and expiration
You may cancel your order at any time before specimen collection. To request a cancellation or refund, contact help@novanyou.com.
- Cancel within 24 hours of purchase: 100% refund.
- Cancel after the clinician review but before specimen collection: refund less a $60 non-refundable physician review and administrative fee.
- After specimen collection, once laboratory processing has begun, or after results are released: no refunds.
If we are unable to perform the requested testing, you receive a full refund unless services have already been provided. If a specimen is insufficient, contaminated or otherwise unsuitable, we may ask for a repeat specimen, and a refund is not issued solely because a repeat is needed. Approved refunds are typically processed within 5 to 10 business days to the original payment method.
Orders expire 30 days from purchase if a specimen has not been collected. If an order expires, a $60 non-refundable processing fee is kept and the rest is refunded to the original payment method. To test after expiration you must place a new order.
Sample collection
- Depending on your test, you can visit a Patient Service Center, schedule a mobile phlebotomist, or use a self-collection kit.
- Collection kits are shipped to the address you give at checkout. Do not visit a Patient Service Center for a self-collection test, and do not schedule a mobile phlebotomy visit until your kit arrives.
- Follow the kit instructions carefully. Collecting and returning your sample properly is important for accurate results.
- Some tests require fasting. If yours does, do not eat or drink anything except water for at least 8 hours before collection. Improper preparation can make results inaccurate.
