I thought Theranos was still operating.
They shut down the draw center in PA, but they still have a lab running and draw centers in AZ aren't they?
It seems like the Wall Street Journal is writing a piece about a small adjustment by Theranos because of the understandably bad optics for their partner in PA.
Theranos is trying to innovate in a space where you cannot even ask how much a service costs.
Personally, I would go to Theranos if they just ran all the same tests as everyone else because they post their prices.
Yes, Theranos was supposed to be based on a new technology (which may still work out in the long run), but just being customer focused would be disruptive in this industry.

Searches on http://www.sunriselab.com/ and http://questdiagnostics.com/home.html show no prices at all.
