- Unilabs lists these prices on its ordering website, ae.unilabs.online. Its terms mention a service fee without stating the amount.
- DarDoc is a home collection service, and these are the prices its website lists test by test. The website also advertises a 20% coupon, which is not the price shown here. Zavis did not verify the total at checkout.
- Healthchecks360 is a booking platform that works through partner labs. Its terms say prices may vary from centre to centre, and its pages do not state VAT or a collection cost.
- Smart Care Polyclinic in Deira lists these prices on its laboratory page and calls them list prices. The page offers 30% to 50% off when four or more tests are chosen, with the discounted price sent by the clinic; that discount is not in the prices shown here. The page does not state VAT.
