No. We have over 50 lab tests that you can conveniently purchase online without visiting a doctor’s office. You may need to visit a Quest Patient Service Center to have your sample collected.
Yes. Our lab tests are the same lab tests trusted by doctors and hospitals across the U.S. and are performed in laboratories that are CLIA-certified.
Quest is working with PWNHealth LLC and its affiliated professional entities (collectively, PWN) to provide independent physician services to you in connection with Quest. PWN services include physician oversight of all tests (based upon the information that you share), including ordering tests, if appropriate, and evaluating results once available. You will also have the opportunity to speak with a PWN physician to discuss the lab results, and in some states (and for adults only), the Licensed PWN physician will be able to provide treatment for some conditions. Before submitting your payment for your testing purchase, you will see the fees collected on behalf of PWN for their services to you. If 1 or more of your results indicates that you need prompt attention, you will receive a call directly from the PWN care coordination team. Additionally, if 1 or more of your results is for a positive sexually transmitted disease (STD) or HIV result, you will receive a call directly from the PWN care coordination team. All of test results will be sent directly to your Quest account.
If you would like to speak with a member of the PWN care coordination team or a PWN physician to discuss your results, you can contact PWN Monday to Friday 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM EST at 1.855.205.6146.

Some home collection kits can be purchased and sent to other people. Review the product page to see if the home collection kit that you are interested in can be given/sent to others.
Note: If you are buying 1 or more tests for 1 or more people, make sure that you select the correct number of tests for each person before adding the item to your cart. For example, if you are purchasing 2 home collection kits for yourself and 3 home collection kits for Jane, you would first select Me, 2, and then click Add to Cart. Then you would select Others, 3, and the click Add to Cart. (Jane's shipping information can then be added during checkout.)
An acknowledgement page will appear after you complete your checkout. Once your purchase is processed, you will get a purchase confirmation email from Quest sent to the email address you used to register your account. You will also see it listed on your Orders page in your Account.
If you purchase a single test and a panel of tests, or 2 panels at the same time, some test components may overlap. In either case, we automatically deduct the cost of the overlapped component from your cart, so you only get charged once for the same test component.
For example, if you add a Basic Health Profile and a Cholesterol Panel to your cart, the price of the Cholesterol Panel will be deducted at checkout because it is part of the Basic Health Profile already.
