asked questions
In which states are your services available?
In all states except NY, NJ, and RI. Regulations in these 3 states don't allow customers order lab tests online. For ordering lab tests online you need to use a local address in the state where the testing is allowed.
How old do I have to be to get tested?
Any age is fine. We test both adults and children. Tests for children must be ordered by their parents.
Do I need health insurance?
No. We do not accept health insurance. This helps us keep our prices low. We do accept HSA and FSA cards.
Do I need a prescription from my doctor to get lab testing done?
No. One of our own doctors will order the tests you choose. This prescription is included in the test price. Simply order tests, take the requisition form we will provide to the lab, and you will be able to get tested.
Is it possible to use a lab order (requisition) from my doctor?
No, but it does not matter. When you order the same tests from us, the price for your order includes a requisition signed by one of our doctors.
Is it possible to get a requisition without ordering tests?
No. We only provide lab order and tests together as a package.
Does my order expire?
Your lab order is valid for 6 months. You can find the expiration date on the requisition form we will provide to you. The lab order cannot be used after the expiration date.
Where will I have my blood drawn / specimen collected?
You will go to one of about 2,300 Quest Diagnostics locations all over United States. You can use our lab locator to find the nearest Quest Diagnostics lab in your area.
After placing my order, how soon can I go to Quest
Immediately, unless your test requires fasting. No appointment is necessary.
Do I need to make an appointment with Quest?
No. Appointment is not required. After you place the order with us online you can walk in to the lab any time during its business hours.
Please note, that labs are the busiest in the morning, when people who had to fast are waiting for a specimen collection.
Will I need to pay Quest anything?
No. Your order is fully pre-paid. Quest will not ask you to pay anything else.
How will I get my test results?
We will email you as soon as we get the results from Quest. The email will include a link to download the results as a PDF. The results will always be available under your account on our website.
What will my test results report look like?
The report will contain one or more lines known as components (measurements) for each test that you order. For each component it will have your value (Quest measurement), reference range (normal result range for this component) and whether your result is normal / high / low. Abnormal results will be clearly indicated.
Can I bring the results to my doctor? Will my doctor accept the results?
Yes. The results report is identical to what doctor receives from Quest Diagnostics when the doctor orders the tests for you. To share results with your doctor, we recommend that you print out the report and bring it with you to the appointment.
How do I get my old test results?
Your results will always be available under your account on our website.
Will you send my results to my doctor or insurance company?
No. Your results are completely confidential. You can share them how and when you wish, it is your choice.
