Bring InnerAge Biological Age Testing to Your Practice
Most patients have no idea how fast they are actually aging. Their chronological age tells them when they were born. Their biological age tells them how their body is performing.
Those two numbers are often very different, and the gap between them is actionable.
What Is InnerAge by InsideTracker?
InnerAge is a biological age score calculated from a patient's blood biomarkers. It is built by InsideTracker, a longevity science company founded by researchers from MIT and Tufts University.
The test analyzes up to 20 blood biomarkers across key health categories including inflammation, metabolic health, liver function, kidney function, and hormonal balance. The result is a single biological age score and a detailed breakdown of which specific biomarkers are pulling that number up or down.
What makes InnerAge useful in a clinical setting is what comes after the score. InsideTracker generates personalized recommendations covering nutrition, supplementation, exercise, and lifestyle changes that are tied directly to the biomarkers driving the result. Your patients leave with a clear picture of where they are and a specific plan for improving it.
Why Biological Age Matters More Than Chronological Age
A patient who is 45 chronologically might have the biological profile of a 38-year-old. Another 45-year-old might read as 54. The difference comes down to lifestyle, metabolic health, inflammation levels, and a handful of other measurable factors.
The problem is that most routine bloodwork does not give patients that context. Results come back as in-range or out-of-range, with very little actionable information attached. InnerAge changes that. It takes the same bloodwork and translates it into a number your patient can understand and track over time.
According to InsideTracker's published data, 80% of customers improve at least one at-risk biomarker on follow-up testing. 75% improve their healthspan category scores. And 60% reduce their InnerAge. That kind of engagement is hard to generate with a standard lab panel.
How it Works
Adding InnerAge to your practice is straightforward. Here is the workflow from start to finish.
Step 1. Your patient schedules a blood draw. HealthLab automates the scheduling process. Blood draws are available at Quest Diagnostics locations nationwide, or through an at-home phlebotomist service for patients who prefer it. Your team does not have to manage the logistics.
Step 2. The sample is analyzed at a CLIA-certified lab. Results are typically ready within 5 to 7 business days. All analysis is done at a certified laboratory, which matters when you are presenting results to patients in a clinical context.
Step 3. Results are delivered through the InsideTracker platform. Your patient receives their InnerAge score, a full biomarker breakdown, and their personalized action plan through a dedicated portal. HealthLab delivers results electronically, so there is no manual handling required on your end.
Step 4. You deliver the clinical context. HealthLab builds secure telehealth follow-ups into the workflow so you can review results with your patient, discuss the recommendations, and map out a plan. Reminders and re-engagement go out automatically.
InsideTracker recommends retesting every 3 to 4 months. That gives enough time for dietary, exercise, and lifestyle changes to produce measurable effects on biomarkers. For your practice, that means a recurring engagement model built into the service from day one.
A Recurring Revenue Model for Your Practice
InnerAge is not a one-time test. It is a quarterly check-in that patients come back for because the data is personal, visual, and improves over time.
HealthLab's platform handles client billing directly so you can charge for the service, the consultation, and any follow-up care without building a new billing workflow from scratch. The quarterly testing cadence also creates a predictable, recurring revenue stream that is increasingly rare in clinical practice.
For fitness centers and wellness practices, InnerAge fits naturally into existing performance or longevity programs. For insurers offering member wellness benefits, it is a data-rich tool that gives members something tangible to track. For clinics, it deepens the patient relationship beyond the annual check-up.
InnerAge is also HSA and FSA eligible through InsideTracker's Truemed partnership, which removes a common friction point for patients considering the cost.
Personalized Patient Dashboards
Every patient gets a personal health portal where they can track their InnerAge score, their biomarker history, and their progress on recommendations over time. The dashboard updates with each new test, so improvement is visible and motivating.
HealthLab automates the patient communication around this. Reminders go out before the next test window. Follow-up appointments are scheduled without your team having to chase anyone. Patients stay engaged because the system keeps them in the loop.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
InnerAge is a biological age score calculated by InsideTracker using blood biomarker data. It tells your patient how their body is aging relative to their chronological age, and identifies the specific biomarkers they can improve to lower that number.
-
A standard blood test tells patients whether their results are in range or out of range. InnerAge takes that data further by calculating a biological age score and generating personalized recommendations tied to the specific markers driving that score.
-
InsideTracker recommends testing every 3 to 4 months. This gives enough time for lifestyle changes to show up in the biomarkers, and gives patients four data points per year to track their progress.
-
InnerAge 2.0 analyzes up to 20 blood biomarkers including markers of inflammation (hsCRP), metabolic health (glucose, HbA1c, triglycerides), liver function, kidney function, and hormonal balance. InsideTracker's broader Ultimate panel covers up to 48 biomarkers across 10 healthspan categories.
-
InnerAge is not typically covered by standard health insurance, but it is HSA and FSA eligible through InsideTracker's Truemed partnership. HealthLab handles client billing for the service directly through the platform.
-
HealthLab can have the InnerAge workflow live at your practice in one day. From day one, your patients can schedule blood draws, receive results electronically, and access their personalized dashboard.
