If you are a same sex couple, we suggest that you each do the test Alifert - woman or Alifert - man.

Why do I have to go to a laboratory to have a blood test done?
These are 2 distinct steps:
- the laboratory takes the blood sample and measures your parameters
- we then process your parameters through our algorithm, to give you the appropriate advice.
We are independent of medical analysis laboratories, which allows you to choose the laboratory that is most convenient for you.
That is why we do not include the cost of blood tests directly in the price of our tests.
Are Alifert tests reimbursed by Social Security?
Alifert tests can be prescribed by a healthcare professional, but are not yet covered by the French health insurance system.
We are strongly committed to ensuring that they become covered as soon as possible!
Do I need a doctor's prescription to get the blood test?
No, you do not need a medical prescription.
You can do a blood test in a medical laboratory near you by booking an appointment and simply presenting the blood test request form, which you can download from our platform.
However, if you have a medical prescription, the blood test will be partly covered by the French national health system and by most private health insurance companies.
