QuestDirect™

You can use QuestDirect™ to select and pay for lab tests. Licensed professionals from PWNHealth LLC and affiliated professional entities (collectively, PWN) will provide clinical oversight of your lab testing, including ordering your selected tests, when appropriate. Then, have your specimen collected for the testing you purchased:

• In-person. If you purchased a test with an in person option, make an appointment and go visit a collection location such as a Quest Patient Service Center to have your specimen (blood and/or urine) collected by a phlebotomist. (Not applicable to the COVID-19 Active Infection test.)

• At a drive-thru. If you purchased a COVID-19 Active Infection test with the drive-thru option, go visit the drive-thru (at the appointment time you made during purchase) and self-collect a specimen with a nasal swab. A healthcare worker will be there to observe and talk you through the self-collection process.

• At-home. If you purchased a test with an at-home self-collection kit, wait for your at-home kit to arrive and follow the instructions to collect your own specimen (blood [via a finger stick] or nasal swab) and then return the completed kit to Quest in its prepaid, pre-addressed packaging.

Specimens are then delivered to a Quest laboratory for testing. When testing is complete, your results are confidentially evaluated by a physician at PWN. Any result requiring prompt attention will be communicated to you by PWN and all results are sent directly to your secure MyQuest™ account. Test results will be available in your MyQuest™ account in 2–5 business days from the time your specimen is received, depending on your test.

Quest offers testing you can purchase for yourself, with physician oversight, as follows:

• Tests with an In-Person at Quest or In-Person at Drive-Thru option can be purchased in all states except Arizona, Alaska, and Hawaii, as well as Puerto Rico.

• Tests with an At-Home Kit option can be purchased in all states except Arizona, New York (with the exception of the COVID-19 Active Infection Test and FIT Colorectal Cancer Screening), Alaska, and Hawaii, as well as Puerto Rico.

Please note that New York residents may purchase an at-home collection kit for a COVID-19 Active Infection Test and a FIT Colorectal Cancer Screening. New York residents may not purchase any other at-home collection kits.

We strongly recommend that you share your test results with your doctor in order to make the best health decisions.

When you purchase testing from QuestDirect, be aware of this important information:

• QuestDirect tests 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 QuestDirect are solely your financial responsibility.

COVID-19 testing may be fully paid by your health plan or by the government, with no out-of-pocket cost, when billed directly to your health plan or the government. For more information about a no-cost COVID-19 Active Infection testing option with QuestDirect, click here.

Note: QuestDirect is unable to provide you with a receipt that contains the basic information generally required by health plans for reimbursement. If you are planning to submit for reimbursement via your savings account, these codes may be helpful.

• Testing purchases include a non-refundable cancellation fee. For additional information, please review the Cancellation Policy and Expiration Policy for the testing you purchase.

Quest is working with PWNHealth LLC and its affiliated professional entities (collectively, PWN) to provide independent physician services to you in connection with QuestDirect. 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 any of your lab results, and in some states, the 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.

Licensed PWN physicians provide oversight for all lab tests, based upon the information that you share. This includes ordering tests, if appropriate, and evaluating results once available. You will have the opportunity to speak with a PWN physician to discuss any of your lab results; and in some states, the PWN physician will be able to provide treatment for some conditions. If one or more of your results indicates that you need prompt attention, or is a positive sexually transmitted disease (STD) or HIV result, you will receive a call directly from the PWN care coordination team. All of your test results will be sent directly to your MyQuest™ 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.

You look for lab tests that meet your specific health needs. Many of the tests require that you visit a collection location (such as a Quest Patient Service Center, drive-thru, or pop-up collection site) to have your specimen collected, but for some of the tests your specimen can be collected at home via an at-home kit. Once you find tests you are interested in, you select them online and pay for them online. Licensed professionals at PWN will provide clinical oversight of your lab testing, including ordering your selected tests, if appropriate. You then have 60 days to come to a collection location to have your specimen collected for testing at Quest Diagnostics, or 70 days to collect your sample (using the instructions included with the at-home kit) and then return the at-home kit in its prepaid, pre-addressed packaging to Quest Diagnostics. The results of your testing will be confidentially evaluated by PWN. Any result requiring prompt attention will be communicated to you by PWN and all lab test results are sent directly to your secure MyQuest™ account.

Note: If you purchased a test with in person specimen collection option and are unable to come in to have your specimen collected within 60 days of purchase, your purchase will expire. Additionally, if you purchased a test with an at-home collection kit and are unable to return your completed kit within 70 days of purchase, your purchase will expire. For more information, please see our Expiration Policy.

Some of our tests have two prices because we can offer you the choice of collection location. You can have your specimen collected (in person at Quest), going to a drive-thru where you are observed while collecting your own specimen (in person at a drive-thru), or receiving an at-home kit, where you can collect your own sample (at home) using the included instructions and then return your kit to a Quest Diagnostics laboratory in its prepaid, pre-addressed packaging.

If you are looking at the list of tests, a banner message of At-Home Kit Only or At-Home Kit Available appears below the picture and above the name of the test. Additionally, you can sort the list of tests to only show tests that have at-home kits by selecting the Show At-Home Kits Only check box.

If you are looking at the page that tells you information about a specific test, underneath the price you will see a box with Test Options in it. Clicking the arrow will show you the test has different options for collecting a specimen: an In-Person at Quest option (or a In-Person at Drive-Thru option [COVID-19 Active Infection testing only]) and a Receive At-Home Kit option. If there is no Test Options box, and you can't choose an option, the specimen is always collected In-Person at Quest (where you go to a Quest Patient Service Center).

If the test or at-home kit for a test that you are interested in is sold out, click the E-mail Me When Available link to sign up to receive a notification email when the at-home kit is back in stock and/or the test is available for purchase.

The test is the same high-quality validated solution offered to providers.

In traditional healthcare, a patient’s medical provider assesses the patient and makes a determination whether testing or other treatment or diagnostic procedures are medically necessary and appropriate. Any fees for services are then typically submitted for reimbursement to a health plan or the government or paid for out-of-pocket.

With QuestDirect, you can conveniently select a test and purchase it online. A physician licensed in your state reviews each test request, and if appropriate, places an order for testing. Afterwords, you have the opportunity to speak with a licensed physician about your results.

We can’t tell you which tests to purchase. You can find an explanation of the tests on our website, but if you’re not sure which to choose, please speak with your doctor.

While browsing through the available testing options, click Learn More to find out more information about the tests that are offered, along with any pretesting requirements.

You can purchase tests for yourself, with physician oversight, as follows:

• Tests with an In-Person at Quest option can be purchased in all states except Arizona, Alaska, and Hawaii, as well as Puerto Rico.

• Tests with an At-Home Kit option can be purchased in all states except Arizona, New York (with the exception of the COVID-19 at-home kit and the FIT Colorectal Cancer Screening), Alaska, and Hawaii, as well as Puerto Rico.

Please note that New York residents may purchase an at-home collection kit for a COVID-19 Active Infection Test and a FIT Colorectal Cancer Screening. New York residents may not purchase any other at-home collection kits.

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

1 Start by finding the tests you are interested in purchasing.

Click Browse Our Tests to access the lab tests which are available for purchase. If you're looking for a specific lab test, you can search for it, or limit the list you are viewing to specific types of lab tests by clicking one of the health categories. If you are interested in purchasing an at-home kit, you can also filter the test list to show at-home kits only.

2 Determine if a test is right for you and add it to your cart.

Once you have found a test you are interested in, click Learn More, review the available information, and then click Add to Cart. (If a test is offered with sample collection in person or at home with an at-home kit, you will have to pick your sample collection option prior to adding it to the cart.) Next, you may be asked several questions that will help determine if the lab test you selected is right for you. If it is, the lab test will be added to your cart. If it isn't, then the test will show as unavailable for purchase.

Note: The system currently doesn’t support purchasing tests with different collection options (for example, in person, in person at a drive thru, or at-home using a self-collection kit) as a single transaction. In fact, each at-home self-collection kit, drive through collection option, or in person collection option must be purchased individually as a separate transaction.

Please purchase tests with an in person collection method in one transaction and then purchase each test with an at-home kit or drive-thru option individually in a separate transaction.

3 Check out. Go to your cart () and checkout:

a If you already have a MyQuest account, sign in; otherwise, click Continue as a New Customer.

You must have a MyQuest account if you want to purchase tests for yourself because MyQuest provides a secure way for you to receive your lab test results. If you don't already have an account, you can create one as part of the checkout process.

b If you are purchasing a test where your sample will be collected in person at a patient service center, schedule an appointment time and the location where you will get your specimen collected or click Decide later.

Keep in mind that for tests where your sample is collected in person, you have 60 days to go to a Quest Patient Service Center and get your sample collected.

Note: If you are purchasing a COVID-19 Antibody test, for the safety of our patients and employees, you must schedule an appointment time. For all other testing, appointments are strongly encouraged and will receive priority. If you walk in, you will have to wait for the next available opening.

4 Finish setting up your MyQuest account. (If you created a new account as part of your purchase.)

Before your lab test results can be delivered, you will need to verify your identity and authorize delivery of your results to your MyQuest account. You can do this by accessing your MyQuest Notifications () and completing the following two Actions Required:

• Verify. You must validate your identity to fully utilize the platform.

• Authorize. You must provide Privacy Authorization to receive test results.

Yes, you can purchase multiple tests, but please note that our system currently doesn’t support purchasing tests with different collection options as a single transaction. In fact, each test with an at-home kit or drive-thru collection option must be purchased individually as a separate transaction.

Please purchase tests that have an in person sample collection option in one transaction and then purchase each test with an at-home collection kit or drive-thru collection option individually, in separate transactions.

No. You can only purchase tests for yourself. Laboratory tests must be performed on the person whose name is on the order. The order accompanies your specimen through testing, and the result will only appear in your MyQuest account after you verify your identity.

Additionally, if you are coming in for sample collection, we verify ID so that we know that the person who purchased the testing and the person who has presented are the same.

Testing on this website is only available for those 18 years or older.

Note: If you want to get your child, who is under 18, tested for COVID-19, please visit the QuestDirect Find the right COVID-19 test for you website.

You never need an appointment if you purchased a test with an at-home self-collection kit. If you are purchasing a COVID-19 Antibody test, for the safety of our patients and employees, you must schedule an appointment time. For all other testing, appointments are strongly encouraged and will receive priority. If you walk in, you will have to wait for the next available opening.

If you choose not to schedule an appointment, please remember that you have 60 days from the purchase date to come in for testing. And when you do come in, please bring your order number or a copy of your order details with you.

No, you do not need to make separate appointments.

When you come in for your appointment, make sure to let your phlebotomist know that you would like to have your sample collected for your doctor-ordered tests and your purchased tests.

Note: If you purchased an at-home self-collection kit, you need to follow the included instructions to collect your sample and then return the at-home self-collection kit as directed. No Appointment is necessary.

Once you have successfully purchased testing, a confirmation page appears (with an option to print your receipt). You will also receive a confirmation email.

Please be aware that when you visit a Quest Patient Service Center:

• Masks or face coverings are required while in a patient service center (a bandana or handmade mask is acceptable), even if you got a COVID-19 vaccination.

Note: Quest Patient Service Centers cannot accept patients who are currently experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, or those who have experienced COVID-19 symptoms within the last 10 days.

Protecting your health is more important than ever. Quest Diagnostics Peace of Mind program makes it easier and safer to access the routine testing you need. For more information, click here.

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.

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 QuestDiagnostics.com/home/patients/prepare-for-test/fasting for additional  fasting information.

For tests that require fasting, it provides the most reliable results. If you did not fast and want us to perform the test anyway, we’ll note it on the report for reference.

Below are some common questions about the Comprehensive Health Profile. If you have additional questions, please ask them in Quest Chat. (Quest Chat is accessible from the bottom of each page or by clicking the Contact Quest > Message Quest menu option.)

What is a Health Quotient Score? 

The Health Quotient Score (HQS) is a numerical representation of your health from 1–100. This score is unique to you and factors in family health history, health and wellness behaviors, biometric measurements, and your lab test results. The higher the score, the lower your potential risk for chronic conditions. You can use this number as your baseline, then set a plan for lowering your risk and track your progress over time.

Note: Some states do not permit a phlebotomist to take blood pressure. For instances where blood pressure is unavailable, the HQS algorithm has been adjusted to exclude blood pressure from the calculation. Additionally, an HQS will not be available if you have not taken the Health Risk Assessment or if no biometric measurements were provided.

What is a Health Risk Assessment? What if I don't complete it?

A Health Risk Assessment is a brief survey that captures family health history and current health and wellness behaviors. The information you provide contributes to your Health Quotient Score and your 12 unique Risk Factors. This survey only takes a few minutes to complete and you can complete it at any time, before or after your lab results are available.

To access the Health Risk Assessment:

1 Go to MyQuest or QuestDirect and sign in with your MyQuest credentials.

2 Click the person () icon > QuestDirect Orders.

3 Locate your purchase for a Comprehensive Health Profile in the Open Orders tab.

You will see a tracker that will show you what steps you need to complete.

4 Click Fill Out Health Risk Assessment and then answer all the questions.

What are the 12 unique Risk Factors?

The 12 Risk Factors are as follows:

• Alcohol

• Blood Pressure

• Cholesterol

• Diabetes

• Exercise

• Nutrition

• Preventive Screenings

• Safety

• Self-Care

• Stress

• Tobacco

• Weight

These Risk Factors are calculated from the same data as your Health Quotient Score and provide areas of focus for you to consider in improving your health or maintaining a healthy lifestyle. In the report they are broken out into 3 different color-coded categories:

• Low risk. This is a healthy risk level. Continue making healthy choices.

• Moderate risk. This risk level means you may be at an increased risk for health conditions associated with this factor. You can improve your risk level by making healthy lifestyle choices.

• High risk. This risk level means you may be at high risk for health conditions associated with this factor. Review your results associated with this factor and next steps.

What are biometric measurements? What if I don't provide any?

Biometric measurements refer to height, weight, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, and waist or hip circumference. If you know your biometric information, you can provide it in the Health Risk Assessment; otherwise, you can have these measurements collected during your appointment. If you are uncomfortable with providing or having these measurements taken, your Health Quotient Score may be unavailable.

Do I need to fast before having my sample collected?

Fasting (not eating or drinking anything except water) for 8–12 hours before your sample is collected is recommended, but not required, for the Comprehensive Health Profile. For most, not fasting is acceptable; however, those who choose not to fast may show elevated triglyceride levels.

How do I keep track of what I need to do?

You can keep track of your purchase and any steps you need to complete from the Order Details page. To do this: 

1 Go to MyQuest or QuestDirect and sign in with your MyQuest credentials.

2 Click the person () icon > QuestDirect Orders.

3 Locate your purchase for a Comprehensive Health Profile in the Open Orders.

You will see a tracker that will show you what steps you need to complete, along with a button that will be enabled when your lab results are available.

• If you have not yet scheduled an appointment, click the Schedule an Appointment link to do so.

Please note that fasting (not eating or drinking anything except water) for 8–12 hours before your sample is collected is recommended but not required for these tests.

• If you have not yet completed your Health Risk Assessment, click the Fill Out Health Risk Assessment link to do so.

4 Go to your appointment, have your sample collected, and your biometic measurements collected.

5 When you receive notification (via email) that your results are available in MyQuest, you can access them from the Results page in MyQuest or from the Order Details page in both MyQuest and QuestDirect. If you are accessing your results from the Order Details page:

• A green View Results button indicates that your lab results and Health Quotient Score are available for review.

• A white View Results button indicates that you have not yet completed the Health Risk Assessment and that your Health Quotient Score is unavailable, but your lab results are available for review.

6 Contact PWN Health to set up a one-on-one consultation with a doctor to discuss your results and set measurable and achievable health goals.

Note: Quest urges you to share your results with your doctor to make the best decisions for your health.
