What is the Quest Select™ Program?
The Quest Select™ program offers you outpatient laboratory testing with no cost to you.
What are my costs when using Quest Select™?
You will incur a $0 copay for over 1,200 different laboratory tests, including blood, urine, cytology, pathology, and cultures included in the program.
What tests are covered under Quest Select™?
The program covers over 1,200 tests, which include:
- Blood testing (e.g., cholesterol, complete blood cell counts)
- Urine testing (e.g., urinalysis)
- Cytology and pathology (e.g., Pap smears, biopsies)
- Cultures (e.g., throat culture)
How can I ensure that Quest Diagnostics will not bill me?
To avoid being billed, you must inform the Quest Diagnostics receptionist that you are a Quest Select™ member and provide your member ID number. If you have a health plan, your member ID will be your health plan ID number. If you do not have a health plan, a unique Quest Select™ member ID will be assigned to you and can be accessed online.
What should I do if my doctor ordered lab work to be done in the office?
It's essential to know your rights. If your doctor works for a hospital, they may refer you to the hospital's lab, which can be more expensive. However, you have the right to request that your blood work or lab tests be performed at Quest Diagnostics instead. Inform your doctor and their medical receptionist that you have a $0 out-of-pocket Quest Select™ membership and ask them to schedule your tests at Quest Diagnostics. Your results will be sent to your doctor and available online through your MyQuest™ account.
Does the Quest Select™ Plan replace my current healthcare benefits?
No, Quest Select™ is a supplementary program. If you do not utilize Quest Select™, your standard deductible and coinsurance will apply, and you will not benefit from the $0 copay feature.
What tests are not covered under the Quest Select™ plan?
The following are not covered by Quest Select™:
- Lab work ordered during hospitalization
- Emergency (STAT) lab work
- Time-sensitive esoteric outpatient testing (e.g., fertility testing, bone marrow studies)
- Non-laboratory procedures (e.g., mammograms, x-rays, imaging, dental work)
- Lab work conducted without using your Quest Select™ benefit
- Testing that is not approved or covered by your existing health plan, if you have one.
