Fwiw, since it seems like a number of people on here have Kaiser, my experience asking my Kaiser pcp for these as a mid-30s otherwise healthy person:
-lp(a) and apob were covered
-ldl is computed on the standard panel, not an actual measurement
-accidentally got lp(a) twice and it varied quite a bit, so they may use different labs that are calibrated differently
-hs-crp is not offered
-doctor didn’t seem particularly aware of the more “niche” tests but was open to putting them in during my yearly physical
