Do I need to visit my primary healthcare provider before making a purchase?

No. We offer 75+ lab tests that you can conveniently purchase online without visiting a doctor’s office. However, most of our lab tests will require you to visit a Quest Diagnostics Patient Service Center to have your sample collected.

Are Quest's lab tests the same lab tests that doctors and hospitals use?

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.

What services does PWN provide?

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 one 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 one 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.

 

Services provided by PWN are subject to its terms and conditions and privacy policies. To read PWN's terms and privacy policies, click here.

Which test should I purchase? What if I have a specific condition?

You can find an explanation of the tests on our website (which includes the age range for tests that are available for children), but if you're not sure which lab test to choose, please consult your doctor.

I purchased testing for my child through QuestDirect. Where can I find information about the test's status/result?

You can find your child’s result in your MyQuest account at Quest Diagnostics MyQuest website. If you need information about the status of your child’s test, please contact Customer Support. Visit the Customer Support page for information on how to contact customer support.

Can I purchase a test for a minor?

No. At this time, Quest Consumer is not selling lab tests for minors. Please contact your child's physician for more information on obtaining testing for your child.

Are there any states or territories where I cannot purchase lab testing?

Lab tests are not currently available in Arizona, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.

 

Note: In Arizona, Sonora Quest Laboratories offers testing that you can purchase through My Lab ReQuest™. Visit www.MyLabReQuest.com to learn more.

Can I get my lab test results prioritized or expedited?

No. Lab test results cannot be prioritized or expedited.

How do I purchase tests for myself?

Click "Shop" on the top navigation bar of this site to browse and select tests to add to your cart. If you haven't already done so, you will need to create an account to proceed to checkout.

Can I buy tests for someone else? Can I purchase for a minor?

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 one or more tests for one 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 two home collection kits for yourself and three 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).

What questions do I have to answer before I purchase a lab test? And why?
On selected tests, you'll be asked relevant medical questions. This is to help confirm that the test you’ve selected is right for you.
What does Quest do with the answers to these questions? Does a doctor see them?
PWNHealth and its affiliates will review your purchase to ensure it's medically appropriate before submitting a test order for processing. PWNHealth will also review your test results and contact you directly if your results require prompt attention. Should you have any questions, PWNHealth and its affiliates are available to discuss.
The site won't let me add a product to my cart, why is this?
You may live in a state where our tests are not available. Additionally, some tests are not available to people of a specific sex or age.
Can I buy more than one of the same tests at a time?
You may be able to purchase multiple home collection kits for some tests during a single purchase. Review the product page to see if you can purchase several home collection kits during a single purchase.
How will I know that I successfully purchased a lab test?

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 your lab test(s) listed on your Orders page in your Account.

The site won't let me purchase an item that I have put in my cart, why is this?
You may live in a state where our tests are not available, or your age or gender may exclude a purchase. Check that there are no duplicate tests in your cart. Also, check that the address on your account is not a P.O. Box; we can only accept a street address.
The site is automatically reducing the costs of my tests when I put multiple tests in my cart. Why is this?

If you purchase a single test and a panel of tests, or two 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 the Cholesterol Panel is already part of the Basic Health Profile.

How do I use my promo code?
You can use your promo code during the checkout process. On the Cart page, you will see a text box labeled ‘Enter Promo Code.’ Type in your promo code and then apply the code. Your discount will then display as a line item in the subtotal, and the total will be updated to reflect the discount.
What if my promo code isn't working?
Make sure you have typed in the promo code correctly, that the code hasn't expired, and that the promo code is valid for the product(s) that you are purchasing. Please see the information provided with your promo code and/or Special Offer Terms at the bottom of this website for specific eligibility details.
What if I forgot to apply my promo code during checkout? Can I add it later?
Promo codes must be entered during checkout. They cannot be retroactively added to an order. If you are unsure if you added a promo code, check your receipt or review your purchase on the Orders page. If a promo was applied, you will see the discount in a line item of the subtotal and in the total.
If I cannot find certain lab tests on questhealth.com, what should I do?

Currently, there are over 75+ lab tests available for purchase on questhealth.com, including those for allergies, cardiovascular health, sexual health, and more. These are the same quality tests that doctors use and trust. Furthermore, additional lab tests are added to questhealth.com regularly.


Click “Shop” on the top navigation to browse our tests.


Note: Your doctor can still order more specific or complex diagnostic tests from Quest Diagnostics, covering the widest range of medical scenarios.

Do I have to confirm my email for my newly created account in order to purchase a test?

If you are creating a new account during your first checkout, you will receive an email to confirm your email address after you complete the first purchase. This confirmation is required to see your results.


If you have purchased a test previously, for your added security, we will ask you to confirm your email before making a new purchase or viewing results if you haven’t already done so.


Note: If you change your communication email address, you will need to confirm the new email address too.

What payment methods can I use?

The following credit cards are accepted: Visa®, Mastercard®, and American Express. Debit cards and Apple Pay are also accepted. Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards can also be used if they work as credit/debit cards.


You may be able to use FSA/HSA funds to purchase a lab test. However, we do not determine eligibility of expenses under the rules for your HSA/FSA. Please check with your health account administrator to see if these expenses are eligible for reimbursement under your plan.

Can I use a Health Savings Account (HSA) or a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) card?

Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards can be used as long as they work as credit/debit cards. You may be able to use FSA/HSA funds to purchase a lab test. However, we do not determine eligibility of expenses under the rules for your HSA/FSA. Please check with your health account administrator to see if these expenses are eligible for reimbursement under your plan.

Will my insurance cover the tests that I purchase?

No. The lab tests available for purchase on questhealth.com are only for individuals who want to pay directly for testing and do not want to seek reimbursement from their insurance carrier or the government. You understand that Services purchased under or through Quest are solely your financial responsibility.

Note: COVID-19 testing may be available with no out-of-pocket costs for eligible insured individuals when billed to a health plan, including Medicare and Medicaid. View $0 out-of-pocket testing options or reach out to your healthcare provider.

Is my payment information secure?
Yes. We use Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt your credit card number, name, and address information so only QuestDiagnostics.com is able to decode your information.
I just purchased Quest testing. Why don't I see a charge on my credit card?
Log in and check the Quest Orders page for the status of your purchase. If your transaction is NOT on the Orders page, it is likely that the charge is still being processed by your credit card company.
What if tests were not performed?
If we were unable to perform a test that was purchased, you will see a "Test Not Performed" (TNP) message on your result, and you will be refunded to the original form of payment used in the purchase.

How do I schedule an appointment for lab testing?

Do I need separate appointments for the tests my doctor ordered and the tests I purchase from questhealth.com?

  • Scheduled appointments are strongly encouraged and will receive priority. If you walk in, you will have to wait for the next available opening. Please arrive and check in 10 minutes before your appointment time. If you check in more than 10 minutes late for your appointment, you will be served as a walk-in.

Are there any dietary restrictions I need to be aware of before I get tested?
Some blood tests require that you refrain from eating or drinking anything but water (fasting) prior to having your blood drawn. Fasting or diet requirements will be detailed in your confirmation email.
What is fasting?

Fasting is where you do not eat or drink anything except water before having a lab test – usually for 8 hours or more. If you have prescription medications, you should continue taking them during this time. Please visit www.QuestDiagnostics.com/patients/get-tested/prepare/fasting for additional fasting information.

Do I really have to fast? What if I didn't?
