Since Quest has changed recently, I have had nothing but problems with their ESCREEN set up. Can not go back and make a comment when you need to, shy bladder causes screen to forward out and cause an incomplete test. And a incomplete test that should be good to go is now defunct and cannot be re-done. It is completely user unfriendly and not forgiving. I have called Quest, and they tell me they can not help me, it is a ESCREEN issue. Funny thing is I have no issues at all with ALERE on ESCREEN. These problems have caused donors to have to come back in to retest and many drive from far. The burdens put on donors and collection sites is TREMENDOUS!!! I so look forward to using FORMFOX!!!!

I called about a billing issue. Was on hold for almost a half an hour before the most ignorant person picked up the phone. She didn't want to hear what I had to say or really let me explain anything. She stated she can suspend my billing until it gets sorted with my insurance. I said, "Please do that." She said, "Ok it's done." I thanked her and she hung up on me. Very poor customer service on Quest's end and I can see why almost all of their reviews are bad.

So the billing experience I have with them is horrible. I got 4 bills back in April of 2019 which were correct and were paid off using their online system two weeks ago. I get a collocation notice for those same invoices that were paid in full and cant even get anyone on the phone and when you do get them on the phone they hang up on. I wish there was a negative star to give these unprofessional horrible company. I don't recommended anyone using these labs. They get paid very high from our insurance and our pockets and we deserve respect. They will be hearing from my lawyer very soon.

We purchased "At home Covid-19 active infection kits" back in September. My husband & I needed them for travel and to avoid a 14 day quarantine at our destination. We canceled the trip & didn't use the kit. Their policy states that the kit expires 70 days after purchase. If it goes unused, they would refund us our money automatically. Well, that didn't happen. I called several times & got nothing but run around. I talked to 5 different people & was given 3 different phone numbers to call. 2 of those people tried to tell me that I'd have to wait another 70 days to get my refund. That's when I read them their own refund policy off the website only to leave them stammering for excuses.
I ultimately called my credit card to disputed the charges & got my money back that way. This is shameful considering the kind of year 2020 has been not to mention it's Christmas time. People are trying to put a nice Christmas for their families & this business thinks they can keep people money with no services rendered. SMH!! Go to LabCorp instead. They know how to run a business properly & professionally.

You cannot ever reach a human being, ever. Can't reach anyone at the local center, anyone to discuss a bill, can't make an appointment on the phone OR on the website. Quest likes to make money, yet they DO NOT want to share it with human beings. They hire human beings as sparingly as possible. The IVR is nothing but "press this" and "press that" and eventually you will not reach a human being but be forced to hang up, or the IVR will hang up for you.
This company is just grossly capitalistic: they want to make all their money ON HUMAN BEINGS and all their tests, yet they don't want to hire CUSTOMER SERVICE employees. They want to make their money here, but refuse to employ people--aside from drivers and phlebotomists. HIRE SOME HUMAN BEINGS---IN THE DOMESTIC MARKET OF THE UNITED STATES WHERE YOU MAKE ALL YOUR MONEY---TO DO CUSTOMER SERVICE. I hope the government finds its way to fining QUEST for being in medical care and services, yet categorically refusing to provide services.

Quest simply doesn’t adhere to their appointments for labs. 5 of us, including ourselves, were waiting in the waiting area for more than 40 minutes. We all had a 1 pm appointment. The waiting area was full. During this time of COVID, there was less than 3 feet of distance between people. Lab staff were rude. We were like a bunch of cows being herded into a room. I am not utilizing my this lab anymore.

I had a 9:00AM appt scheduled weeks in advance. I get there and put my appt code in and the scrolling screen tells me I have 54 min until I get in. Imagine with an appointment scheduled. I left and called their customer service to complain and ask for a solution. They told me that their waiting time shown is not reliable and I should have waited and my appt was forfeit. They recommended to go to another location which had a 3 min wait time as a walk in with driving time 20 min. I said ok I'll give that a shot. I arrived at the location only to be told that this is an appt only location!
I begged them to take me and finally they put me on the schedule for a 10 min wait. 10-15-20-30-40 min went by and I asked whether I was going to be called and they told me the computer system is down for several hours. I left of course returning to the original location where I had an appt. I put myself as a walk-in and was told I had a 68 min wait time. I chose to be notified by text when I should show up. I went home and I never got a text message. 2 hours later I went to the same location to look at the monitor to see where I was in the scheduling. My name was not even there. I then decided this is enough and called my doctor's office who charged me $25 to take my blood so I did this instead. Money well spent. As you can see my experience with them was awful and not the first time. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this place who can't even organize a reliable schedule to get patients through.

This company is not time conscious at all and their results are not accurate. They will tell you to expect your result in 2 days and the 2 days will turn to be a week or longer. I'll suggest using LabCorp instead of this company.

I wish there was a "no-star" review because even one star is more than they deserve. In a nutshell, I went to get some labs done, and after a week without hearing from them, I decided to call the main toll-free number. After waiting over 20 minutes, the agent that took care of my call informed me that I had to get retested due to "Inconclusive Results." I wish I could say this without exaggeration, but ALL the answers that I received were "I don't know..." I was at a loss for words; I didn't know what to do because all I got from her was the same response.
I decided to go back to the testing location to learn that there was a note that I had to get retested, but there was no reason explaining why I needed to get retested. As if I were trapped in an inescapable labyrinth, the woman at the testing center, also responded with "I don't know..." What a disgrace! It is evident that people's health is certainly not what Quest is concerned about. I have tried to call HQs, but that is not an option. You will hear "all of our agents are still busy at this time."

Quest Diagnostics did a few of blood tests for me upon my doctor's request. I paid some of their bills through my Insurance E-Portal. My Insurance sent checks to Quest, one of the checks wasn't picked up by Quest, and they stated sending past due bills. Dear Quest! My responsibility is to pay my balances, your responsibility is to manage your billing processes. I had to call my Insurance to find out what is going on with my bill, that's how I've being told that the check wasn't picked up by Quest. I also tried to call Quest billing dept. It didn't work. Operators don't pick up calls. Finally I had to pay that amount again directly to Quest. I would never recommend Quest Diagnostics to anybody.

Awful, just awful. I made an appointment which they confirmed. I'm disable and live an hour drive from the location. I got on time for my appointment but the place was closed. NO NOTICE, NOTHING. Called the main office of Quest Diagnostics, they were insisting that the location on 571 Main St. Cobleskill, NY is open and requested that I go to the door while on the phone. I did as requested, place was dark and closed. The lady on the phone was able to lean somehow that they decide to close for Friday November 13th... But kept making appointments and confirming them without any regard for the people actually coming to the appointments made only to learn that they drove for nothing and they can just hang out outside but the location itself is closed! How lovely is that?!

Went for my annual blood work. There was no sanitizing between people. The phlebotomy left the tourniquet on and removed the needle from my arm causing a huge hematoma. In this covid time you would think a lab would be more careful.

My daughter has special needs. All parents with children with special needs knows that things can be difficult at times for them. We had an a person at the Niagara Falls office that had no compassion for her and made us leave. I called and asked for a supervisor to speak to me about my concerns but the supervisor never called me back. My understanding from this experience is that Quest Diagnostics hates children with special needs. Maybe there is an organization that I can report them too.

My doctor asked me which lab I want to use and chose Quest because they were close to me, I went first time in Oct/2020, gave blood and later got the statement of roughly $260, which I paid (by the way I have the Platinum coverage by Blue Cross of Texas). Then I had a second appointment a couple of weeks later. The very rude tech asked me to pay $25 at that time, which I did. A week later I got a bill of approximately $9 for that second visit. Where is that from? I emailed Quest - no response at all! Today 11/07/2020 I log in to pay the $9 and see another bill of $319 for one of the two tests already done. I haven't been to Quest ever since. What type of scam is this? How come a bill shows up almost 2 months later after a test? They know it is insurance paying and will try to drain them as much as they can.

I went to Quest Diagnostics for blood work because I believed to be pregnant at age 49. Not only was the woman who took my blood savage about it, she also put in the wrong address. Apparently they lost my lab results for my blood work but my urine as well. Then my doctor calls me with lab results an hour later, who's results he was reading to me is unclear because he told me I wasn't pregnant completely crushing my soul, to go to an obgyn to find out in fact I am pregnant. Please do not go to this place. Use Lab Corp instead. I would never return to the lab or my Doctor again, very unprofessional.

I have been going to Quest for 10 years now. The office staff know me by name and treat me as a friend. But as far as the billing department goes it's terrible. I have sent numerous e-mails to them to date and not one e-mail has ever been answered, this was even before COVID. I get billed twice for the same visit except they change the invoice numbers so it seems different. I even get billed for dates I never went. I try printing a receipt after I pay my invoice but they are always blank. Just their info prints out not but none of my info does. I know how to print including PDF files so it's not me. Why would an honest company do that? Even their e-mail receipts have no invoice numbers on them. So now I am forced to take digital photos which I put into files for future use.

Quality of service is very poor; the couple of staff people are very discourteous. Test results, in my case, have not been provided after a whole week waiting for. There is no way to communicate with them; the 1 800 number is a joke if you want to speak with a human being.... My fault for having given a new chance.

I went for request labs at Quest Labs Ste 9200 1411 Flagler Dr WPB Fl on 9/10/2020. An upcoming Endocrinology appointment the following wk relied on these results. My dr office could not access the results at all... nor could I from the app. It was as if I never did my lab work in the system. I called the Quest # and even the representative could not find my labs. The following day a technician (most likely the one who drew blood) had the audacity to say.. "I was told you were complaining about your missing labs." I said "Yes... I needed that for an important dr appointment".
She explained that my labs were not mixed up with someone else's but destroyed because of no identifying labs. (WTH) NOW I have to go back into that place to REDO labs (placing myself into Covid19 exposure AGAIN) because they mishandled it. What pissed me off is the lady's remark... "I was told you were complaining". #1 NOT PROFESSIONAL and no apology for their mistake and #2 YES... You MISHANDLED MY LABS. I WILL NOT be frequenting that facility anymore if they can't do their job accordingly. I don't know all the specs to their job... but mishandling sensitive materials like that and inconveniencing me to redo them is VERY DISTASTEFUL... especially during this pandemic area.??? To whoever that employee and office.

Quest is awful, not helpful, and if you are self pay forget about having any financial help. I’ve been to many drs, labs, they offer adjustments. After a few tests and $1800 later Quest offered no financial help or adjustments. They were very rude. Simple tests about checking my thyroid $200, blood type $300, and goes on to a total of $1800. Ridiculous! Never again will I use Quest for lab work. I advise you to never use Quest either unless you want to be surprised with an outrageous bill!!

I worked at Quest Diagnostics for years and always thought they were the best lab out there. However, recently I had a terrible experience. I had my blood drawn on Sept. 1 for Sjogrens antibodies A&B, and I have just one question: WHERE IS MY TEST RESULT? I don't know what else to do. Quest customer service won't respond to any e-mail or request for results. For crying out loud - it has been 12 days since my blood was drawn, and the test takes 1-3 days to perform. I have contacted customer support 6 times...6 TIMES...and no response from them whatsoever!! What the hell is going on?? This is HORRIBLE customer service, guys.
I don't know if I should get my blood redrawn or not. Was the specimen lost? They could AT THE VERY LEAST give me some kind of update at this point. I have a follow-up with my doctor in two days (BTW, my doctor does NOT have the results either), and we will not be able to move forward in my treatment without those results. This is UNACCEPTABLE. Quest Diagnostics operated much more efficiently when I was there years ago. WHAT HAPPENED?? Sadly, today I cannot recommend Quest Diagnostics. Sorry.

This was not the first time that I received another trash invoice from the Quest Diagnostics. Earlier, they had wrongly billed me duplicate and I had to spend a lot of time, energy, and effort to make the matter clear to them and to finally get rid of them. Now it was another folly of them. The incompetent agent sitting in their lab forgot to enter my new insurance information in their system on September 08, 2019. On the first place, she never asked for my ID card and insurance information. I myself had to hand them over to her.
The lady who took my new insurance card and ID card to make photocopies of them was just too busy chatting with her colleagues and was not paying any attention to me. She was very rude. I submitted my feedback information in response to their survey a couple of days after my lab test date. I clearly stated in the feedback that I provided my new insurance information. But instead of disciplining their employee, they sent me a new invoice stating that I had no insurance.
Then, for two days in a row, I tried hard to contact them through the phone number they had provided on their invoice. After waiting for 20 minutes each time, they hung up on me and I was unable to talk to someone. On the following morning, I tried to update my insurance information through my MyQuest account on their website, but after entering my lab Code and Bill #, when I put my date of birth or phone, I received an error message and so was unable to proceed further. Their lab, billing department, and both phone and website are a complete fiasco. I again scheduled an appointment with their lab for this year’s tests by mistake, but seeing all this, I had to cancel it. Instead, I have scheduled my appointment with LabCorp. Now, I will never go to any Quest Diagnostics lab. The management of Quest Diagnostics is just silent and is as corrupt as their employees.

I was tested more than a week ago and I have not received my results, nor have I been able to effectively contact anyone to even understand if there might be a problem. They continuously direct you to "MyQuest" site for results but there is no information about my appointment or status of the testing to even know if I should keep waiting or if there could have been some problem. Their so-called "help number" in my scheduling email does not provide any options and then hangs up. The chat function has a limited number of automated responses and none of them have helped resolve my questions or provided any useful information. After a significant effort it seems nearly impossible to get in touch with an actual human. Not only is this a customer service failure, it's a public health risk for a company purporting to provide COVID-19 testing.

I have a next-door neighbor who baked me some cookies about three weeks ago; it was completely innocent and assumed I was a smoker as her son said I was cool, from what he tells me. I do not smoke ** as I am a commercial driver. It was brought to my attention the next day that the cookies I was given were, in-fact, "Pot" cookies. So I went to my doctor, who told me that I tested at 52Ng/Ml and will not pass a drug test as the dot cut off for THC is 50Ng/mL and has to be below that mark to be considered a negative. So I waited and waited. On the 24th of August, I went in and took a drug test for a new job. Your lab tested my urine at 41Ng/mL which was below 50Ng/mL and should have been deemed a negative test as per DOT standards.
§ 40.87 What are the cutoff concentrations for drug tests?
**
(a) As a laboratory, you must use the cutoff concentrations displayed in the following table for initial and confirmatory drug tests. All cutoff concentrations are expressed in nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). The table follows:Initial test analyte
Initial test cutoff 50 ng/mL3 (I tested at 41Ng/mL) -9 below the cut off level.
(b) On an initial drug test, you must report a result below the cutoff concentration as negative. If the result is at or above the cutoff concentration, you must conduct a confirmation test.
(c) On a confirmation drug test, you must report a result below the cutoff concentration as negative and a result at or above the cutoff concentration as confirmed positive.
So by notifying my employer and then submitting the results to the DOT Clearinghouse, you violate HHS federal drug-testing standards and my heppa as you relaying inaccurate information that violates my rights. I am looking at getting this cleared up and removed from my records as a positive test and re-categorized at a Negative result as my results fall below the cutoff level of 50Ng/mL, which is set forth by DOT.
I am resorting to any means necessary and up to legal action against Quest labs to have this removed and compensation for damages to my carrier and emotional state. I cant work. You took my carrier from me by not following federal guidelines on testing. I would like to be contacted on this matter and would like to resolve this without legal action... I will wait for your response as DOT Clearinghouse will also be reversing the listing as contested misinformation and notifying the state licensing agency to inform that you're not following the guidelines set for cut off levels in your drug testing.

This supposedly is an appointment only location. I am immune compromised and rarely leave my house (per 5 doctors). I had an appointment at 8am, when I limped over there were NINE people waiting. One gentleman with a cane. Another in a wheelchair. 3 of us had appts at 8am which is impossible because there are only 2 phlebotomists at this location (who are great at their jobs). The door ALWAYS opens at 8am sharp. By 8:20a I left. I cannot stand for any length of time. I did get through to Quest Corporate. I am supposedly going to be getting a call from the Supervisor of that location. I don't have very much hope. This is one way to lose customers. Make them cluster during a pandemic and don't open the door and don't email the patients that "sorry you'll have to reschedule." WRONG WAY TO RUN A BUSINESS WITH THE PUBLIC. I rescheduled for Wednesday. Again, not hopeful. The big machine eats up the little people.

I would like to tell you about my last two experiences at Quest Diagnostics located at 293 Commerce Ave, Manteca, CA. On both visits, the waiting room was packed and social distancing was impossible. On both visits, patients are allowed to enter the main waiting room BEFORE THEIR temperature is taken. Reasonably temperatures should be taken at the entrance to the Diagnostic center not AFTER. Because of this faulty setup patients who could potentially have Covid19 will be sitting in a crowded waiting room possibly infecting everyone else while they are waiting to have their temperature taken.
Also, when I came in for lab test on my first visit the technician only did two tests instead of the several tests required. Of course, I did not realize this until I got my results back a few weeks later. So I then returned for the rest of the required tests and then I was told because the doctor used the incorrect code I would have to pay for the test. When I asked if the office could call my doctor I was told that there were 40, yes, FORTY people in the waiting room and office staff does not have time to be calling doctors. When I offered to step outside and call my doctor I was told I would lose my place in line and it would be a long wait. My next option was to leave without being tested, which is what I did. I am very disappointed in the unsafe overcrowded conditions at this Quest and feel like the staff is concerned that THEY don’t get Covid19, which is understandable, but the patients should not be subjected to it either.
I certainly didn’t want to have to come in to have lab tests and face greater exposure and I will not ever be returning to this Quest Center. Hopefully, I will find safer conditions at the other Quest centers in Manteca. During this pandemic, Quest should change their method of operation and have appointment only testing and take temperatures outside the door and keep 7 or less people in the waiting room at all times in order to maintain social distance of the posted 6 feet.

Had a mix up with getting a sample sent out, but Quest never reached out to me, rather it was my PCP. This set off a multi day goose chase and hours wasted sitting on hold with Quest's central phone line. Additionally, dealing w/ Quest HQ was particularly frustrating because the customer service reps kept giving me incomplete or sometimes, outright incorrect information. How are you going to keep me on a 20-30 min hold every time I call and then give me the wrong information? Oh that and the fact that the local line doesn't appear to even take phone calls? Like every time I would call and hit the option for general information it would just be like "sorry this line is not available now" and then hang up.
So every time I had a question about this protracted and awful experience I had to drive over there and ask in person. That and 1/2 the time, I would ask a question and the staffer would tell me to call customer service who don't know things about their own business. I'm sure the staff there got irritated whenever they saw my car pull up but honestly I do not, cannot, will not care. If I could give Quest the company -5 stars I would. General advice? Don't ever get sick so that you won't need to get tests run by this miserable excuse for a business.
EDIT: Also, Quest incorrectly ran some tests for me (I wanted them to send my blood along only, not test it) and now refuse to actually address the mistake. I've been dogging them about this billing issue for 2 weeks and have been given the run around at every turn....I've been told on 2 separate occasions that they would get back to me. I even had my doctor's office reach out to them. And all 3 times times guess what happened? Nothing!!! The next time I need blood work done, I think I might actually just drive to another town so I can go to Lab Corp instead cause this is ridiculous!

I have never visited any of the locations or ever heard about this until receiving a bill for a blood test supposedly ordered by my physician 2 years ago with a threat it was an unpaid bill. My incurable covers the all the services rendered by my physician other than a $30 co pay. Because I was threatened via calls and mail that my delinquency will be reported to credit agency, I paid the outstanding amount, saved proof that the amount was paid in full with 0 balance outstanding. Payment was was finalized on 6/28, paid online. Since then I have not seen my primary physician or any doctors, I’m still receiving calls from this company. I shouldn’t have paid the bill because according to my insurance statement the procedure was covered and billed already. Not sure how to get rid on the calls, threats and prevent additional payments to this company.

I am sorry but The way this lab is processing the covid 19 swabs is ridiculous. I am a front line worker and have been home for a week and a 1/2 still waiting on pending results meanwhile 4 other people that I know went with me and after me and got their results and all are stay-at-home moms and work from home. I believe the lab is processing these wrong. Front line workers should be top priority, not stay-at-home moms, not people that work from home. The cure for this is self quarantine for 2 weeks. If they are home obviously they're not going anywhere their quarantine if you need to go out into the public.Nurses, doctors, restaurant workers, police officers, firemen ect., all should be priority. This lab is wrong on how they are processing it. I understand the flow is in enormous right now but again priority workers comes 1st and we aren't on unemployment like the rest of the world!!!

Today, 7/27/2020, at 2:00 pm, I went to Quest Diagnostics in Greeley, CO at the Safeway grocery store location to have blood drawn for 4 tests prescribed by my doctor. The man who drew my blood had the shakiest hands. I wondered if he had had 10 cups of coffee. His hands visibly shook. He missed entirely the vein, or he went right through it. Then blood actually forced itself out of the puncture. The blood sprayed his hands (wearing gloves). I suggested coming back another day (in order to get a different phlebotomist), and he asked, "Why?" I didn't have the heart to tell him. He ended up using the vein in my other arm. I have a rather large puncture and bruise on my right arm, the one he began with. The left is only moderately bruised. I'll probably use a different Quest when needing cheap labs. I guess you get what you pay for. Ridiculous, it's more expensive using my insurance. I was not given a receipt for services.

To wait over 10 days to get Covid results is uncalled for. This company say due to the current rise in cases it will take from 3 to 7 days but other companies give results in 24 to 48 hours. For such a big named company they do a terrible job. Should have gone to Lab Corp.... Quest you're pathetic.

Government and insurance companies need to crack down on the labs doing COVID 19 testing. Should deny payment for the test if the results are not given within 3 days. Went to a testing site last friday (8 days ago) done by Quest Labs. Still have not gotten results. Went to another site on Thursday (2 DAYS AGO), got my results at 6:20 am this morning. Some of these labs are not interested in providing usable results and just want to play numbers. Limit the volume of testing to a level that can be processed in 2-3 days or forfeit payment.

I will start by saying I am the sole breadwinner in my family. I have a wife and four children. On 7-14-2020, I took a COVID-19 test at my local physician's office (Dearborn, Michigan). The staff at that site stated I would have my test results back by 7-17-2020. After making repeated calls for results, my physician's office suggested I call Quest Diagnostics to obtain my test results. After being on hold for over twenty minutes, their representative stated, "They have my sample. It is still in a pending status." She also included, "We cannot provide you with a date when your results will be ready."
As a result of their inability to provide test results, I have lost my employment. I do not understand how this same lab can quickly produce test results for major sports teams and government officials, and someone like me, Joe Taxpayer, must wait weeks to get results. Even the NBA grew weary of the wait from Quest and replaced them with BioReference Laboratories. The time it takes to get test results for someone like me, Joe Taxpayer, is deplorable.
My test results, along with many others, are low priority. My question, now that I have lost my job, will Quest Diagnostics hire me? If Quest receives federal money, the funding should stop until they can prove they can produce results in a timely fashion. Additionally, Quest should assume responsibility for the loss of income and reimburse those who lost employment due to their ineptness for anyone else in my position.

Unfortunately, the Office Manager was trying to justify the Nurse's action in regards that in my own copy the first page is missing and started educating me about the lab work process! I repeated to the Office manager the same point that I am not required to bring my personal copy and teared off my copy and asked them to assume that its doesn't exist, and I never did bring one!!!

I got a call from Credit Collection Services initially, saying my bill was overdue. The reason? Quest got my address wrong. I wanted to confirm that this was a real bill for a valid service because I had never received an invoice, so I set out to get an itemized invoice. When I first called, they asked for my invoice number in order to answer my questions about my bill. However, because I had never received my invoice, I did not have my invoice number. I asked them to send me my invoice, and corrected my address. I did not receive my invoice within the 2-3 weeks they claimed it would arrive by. So I called again. This cycle continued for 3 months.
Quest got my address wrong 3 times and my email wrong twice. It took 9 phone calls each with a hold of 1 to 3 hours over the course of 3 months to receive my invoice, without which I couldn't pay my overdue bill. The only reason I received an itemized invoice was because I had a customer service representative from my insurance provider sit on hold with me for 2 and a half hours and request it from the representative. When I finally did receive my itemized invoice, it was so confusing I really didn't understand what I was being charged for. There were 2 $103 charges for "laboratory testing". I had to pay the nearly $300 out of pocket still not really knowing why I was billed.
The phone menus are endlessly confusing. Part of the reason my address was so difficult to convey was that the phone lines to Quest customer service are very quiet. Neither I nor the insurance representative who helped me with this issue could properly hear the Quest service agent. It is ridiculously unprofessional of Quest to not provide their customer service agents with properly working equipment. It is also unprofessional for Quest to not provide an invoice number to customers who are contacted by Credit Collection Services, and it results in it being very difficult for customers to contact Quest with any questions about their bill or review their bill online in any way. Quest needs to change their customer service policies. They need to hire more representatives, give them better equipment, and probably pay them more. The system takes advantage of errors to make customers pressured to pay without reviewing their bill.

They also say, "We have "escalated" the situation and it should be delivered by end of day." The results never come in at the end of day. The whole point of going through quest is so called fast easy results sent at your convenience. In actuality I paid $350 for a test that the results are in but I can't view them along with the rest of quest support team and it may take a week (not including weekends) for the support I need.

Then they call me up three days later and tell me they lost the urine sample from the tests they did do and I have to do it again which means another day fasting.

The technician at the Colorado Springs, CO location in Safeway needs to take a class in customer relations, customer service, empathy, and overall good manners. She acted as if I was a bother to even being sharing the same space in the world with her. She turned me away very hastily 3 times. Once for being 3 minutes late and she was closing. Once for not having the kit required (would have been nice to know the day before when I was turned away), and once for having my kit picked up from another location and dropping off with her (I was told I could do that from the other location).
The other location was way out of the way, but they were extremely nice, helpful, and ultimately took care of me. If people are not oriented toward helping others, they should not be in a service vocation. This girl needs to find a job in a closed office away from human beings. On top of her bad attitude, the wait was longer considering nobody else was there. Horrible experience and will go out of my way before ever going there again!

They never fail to get payment first and require you to sign electronically when you have no idea what you are signing. Over half the time when I am sent there for labs they deny that the doctor sent them even when I was standing there when they were sent. Quest never takes responsibility for anything. Their technicians have bad attitude and have no desire to be helpful or pleasant. The only thing they are interested in is getting paid.

My teenage daughter went in for labs this month and we never received the results. After some digging, our doctor found out my daughter’s blood was marked with her twin sister’s name! Her twin sister was not even there. Before her blood was drawn, my daughter presented her lab prescription, health insurance card and driver’s license. How in the world could they mess this up?! Then Quest was going to just change the name on the bloodwork, but that’s unethical and against FDA regulations. They ended up saying they need to redo her labs...I said never will I use Quest. This is appalling and apparently has happened to other people at this same location. This is a costly mistake. Never again will I use Quest.

In addition on Dec 12 there was chaos at the blood drawing site. Per the technician (no name tag visible) there was a new booking system that forced them to see more patients per hour but it was not allowing any of the many patients with appointments to scan in. Everyone was waiting more than an hour past their appointment time.
I had many, many tubes of blood drawn and there were printed labels with my name on it. Left a message on their website and then realized that there is no proof of my complaint. You can only write a message on their website or call by phone Monday-Friday but neither way gives you proof of their negligence. After more than 8 days I have no idea where my blood tests are.

I had received a reminder in my email and printed out the form along with the date, confirmation number, etc. I had a problem signing in and one of the workers did try to help. That is the only help I received. I had to wait for one hour, at least 12-13 people who came in after me were taken ahead of me, in spite of my reminding the workers that I had been waiting for so long and why should they be called before me. At that point, the attitude of the workers seemed to change, and was told I did not have an appointment and would have to wait until I was called.
I again tried to show my appointment info but they ignored it, saying I did not have an appointment. I don't know what their problem is, other than they cannot handle someone who, rightly, complains.

Asked to create security questions, filled in blanks per instructions and it would not acknowledge, just a little asterisk saying I need to fill it out. IT IS filled out but will not allow me to proceed. Online website is very user unfriendly, Still unable to access anything. I give up!!!

Quest Diagnostics at Frisco, TX location staff is very rude and denied giving out specimen collection kit. Quest staff said they will give out specimen collection kit only if I have doctor order but funny thing is I have order from doctor but still denied giving out collection kit. Such a useless and arrogant staff that I ever seen in my life. Neither they are customer friendly not ready to help customers or courteous with the customers. Quest management should take it as serious to improve their staff behavior and policies to be courteous with their customers. Otherwise, their competitors will take over the market.

I received a bill from Credit Collection Services for a $17 blood lab test. Quest Diagnostics had NOT sent a bill nor did they contact us to leave a message. Our credit rating before this was in the 800's.

This Lab facility doesn't even deserve one star. The Phlebotomist "Ki KI" was so rude. Just jabbing the needle right in my arm without warning. She seemed very agitated and treated me like a rude interruption in her day. I am not sure if I feel confident that my Labs will be done accurately. I feel I paid my copay for nothing, in regards to the lack of professionalism in that facility. I'm very upset on how I was treated. This was at the Pompano Beach facility on Federal Blvd. Bad place to go. Holly **

Why do we bother making appointments? The staff was standing around, chatting, taking their sweet time in the office area. They only had two phlebotomists taking patient and doing the blood work. We sat there for over an hour and half and were never called in. It's incredibly frustrating to walk in fasting and still have to wait. When I remaining half of the people that were there waiting before I arrived were still sitting waiting for their name to be called. This is so ridiculous.

The invoice has two numbers you can call--one is a pay by phone and one for questions. I called the number for questions and it rang and rang until it just hung up on me. No voice mail-nothing! Then I tried the Pay by Phone number and after I jumped through a number of prompts I finally got a live representative, but then they put you on hold FOREVER. Also it seems that there are issues with them following procedure in acquiring necessary records from the medical provider in order to fully process insurance claims.

Every time I go to Quest for blood we, which is every 3 months, I am rudely pressured into putting a card on file so they can automatically bill me. I am hesitant because they have already made a mistake once. After this last time, I will never give them my card again. The Quest employee taking my blood said it would be at least 4-6 weeks before anything came out and they would email me a day or two in advance with my invoice so I wasn't caught off guard. None of that happened. No email and it was after 2.5 weeks I was charged.
I called to ask for an invoice to be sent so I could send to my HSA for refund. He didn't want to send it to me until the money was done processing. It was already out of my account at this point and that is essentially a bill. So you charge me and then don't want me to see the charges until you know for sure you have your money!? Absolutely ridiculous! That is extremely shady. I should see the lab fees well before I am charged. From now on they can mail me my bill. I will not be providing my card information further.

I went to a lab for blood work, the lab was not a Quest lab nor was there any statements provided that Quest labs would be the company used for the processing of these tests. I received a bill from Quest labs and it was $642.25, for 4 lab/blood tests. I called to ask about this and was told that they can not do anything, this is the bill and did not care what I had to say. I have been paying $100.00 a month, my current bill is now $342.25. I had to get the same EXACT tests done again, this time my Doctors office did them and they were not sent to Quest Labs. My bill for these EXACT tests was $142.12 that is a difference of $500.18. This is WRONG and something needs to be done ...companies like QUEST should not be able to get away with screwing the customers like this. And the facility that drew my blood should have had to tell me that my blood was going to Quest Lab...where are the patients rights???

Horrible staff. Walked in at 12:00, signed in, they took patient who signed in after. When I went in, at 12:55 and told her it was employment drug test, she said, "Sorry we close at 1 for a meeting today." It clearly says on the website and door, they close at 2! She said once a month they close at 1 for a meeting. Well how are patients supposed to know that?? And it was only 12:55, how long does it take to get a urine sample anyway? These are most lazy, unprofessional, rude and horrible employees. I have been to more than 10 of these labs from Michigan and Florida, and they are rude and lazy wherever we go.

Horrible billing process and service. Normal process with my insurance carrier is service provided, service provider contacts insurance company, they pay what they cover, then difference is billed to patient. Quest demands payment upfront before insurance company pays. Cannot follow process at all. We are pass deductible so insurance company will pay 100%. I would say Quest is illegally ripping the patient and insurance companies off. They cannot be trusted.

Today at about 11:20 am I went to the Anthem Village Henderson NV, Quest office. I walked in with a lab slip and told the gal at the desk I was not getting anything done today but just wanted to know if the tests the doctor ordered were covered by my insurance, Medicare. She said "call Medicare". I said, "You can't just look at the lab slip and tell me if it's covered?" She said "no. Call Medicare". Not only did she not try to help me, her tone was so rude. I just turned around to walk out. As I was walking out with a real Smart Alec voice she said, "BYE." If she would have tried to help me and said, "I'm sorry this is our policy" I would have understood. But no, rude rude rude.
From Quest I went to Labcorp. I walked in then told one of the employees the same thing and showed my lab slip. She looked at my lab slip and told me it was all covered by Medicare. She even went a step further and told me the doctor also wants a urine test, so drink plenty of water before I come in. What a different experience. I came home and made an appointment at Labcorp. I know I am only one person, but I will NEVER go to Quest after that very unpleasant experience. I will make sure to pass it on to all my friends and family. Thank you for your time.

On June 12 my doctor sent a work order to Quest Diagnostics in Carlsbad, CA for a CMT blood test. When I went for the test on June 28, 2019 they couldn't find the work order at the Los Coches office. That day I had my doctor's office send a new FAX to the Los Coches office. I finally went in on July 5, for the blood draw. Today, July 10, (6 days later) I went to see the doctor to discuss the test results. The doctor's office didn't have the test results. The doctor's office tried to get the report while I waited. I finally gave up over 40 minutes later and left, consequently a wasted trip. I will switch to a different lab and forget ever going to Quest again. Jim **

Quest is the worst Lab place you could ever go to. I have insurance with a $35 co-pay. They still made me put $80 down and had the audacity to bill me for another $21. This company sucks. I won’t even send my dead dog to you guys! My husband have labs in a week prior. He didn’t have to put $80 down. His bill was only $61. Same insurance. Crazy.

Online wouldn’t accept my verification to view my results so I emailed, took 3 business days for them to email back so I called and they said “we can’t help you with that. You have to email them. Let me see what the turn around time is for your results. Oh it just says pending so you can have your doctor's office call us, but I see all your results here except for the one that is pending. No. I can’t tell you the results until they are ALL finalized.” Stupidest thing I've ever heard. Then it didn’t even let me do the 2 question survey after our call, it just disconnected. I don’t blame the employee, but what did they hire her for? Just so you can call and say hi to someone? Because she had no help to offer me. Quest needs to figure stuff out and and have someone available to talk to for fixing problems. I should be able to call and have them immediately give me access to my results. I won’t be using Quest in the future.

On June 28, 2019 I went into Quest Diagnostics (Quest Diagnostics - Upland Foothill 1399 E Foothill Blvd Ste B, Upland, CA 91786) to get blood drawn for my doctor and the gentleman who was drawing my blood was talking too much and ended up drawing more blood than was necessary for the test I went in for. After he took my blood he showed me the vials with my name on them and there was one too many and I told him one of the vials is not me and he was like oops and chucked it in the trash and that didn’t sit well with me so I’m writing this review for anyone curious about Quest Diagnostics, this is how they operate. Very unprofessional and careless. I would not use this company again as they hire individuals who are not tune to attention to detail, and in the industry they work that is something that is required and just as necessary as knowing how to breath, especially when you are dealing with individuals and their blood!

Due to a staff person's error in my doctor's office, my labs were mistakenly sent twice to Quest, which is not covered by my insurance. My doctor's office and the insurance (BCBS) communicated with Quest about this, and the following solution was negotiated: My insurance company sent me a check for the amount they would cover (a little over $110), and Quest agreed to accept it as payment for all charges. I confirmed this with a Quest representative on the phone, then endorsed the check and sent it to Quest, who cashed it. Subsequently I received an invoice for $50 from Quest on two occasions; each time I called and the person I talked to agreed that it was an error and that I should ignore it.
Recently I received a bill marked THIRD NOTICE for the same amount. I called and talked to a Quest representative again, who said that I was wrong and that I owed the $50. He transferred me to his supervisor; she told me the same thing again in no uncertain terms, claiming that Quest would never agree to such an arrangement. I have given up at this point because none of this was ever put in writing to me, so I paid the $50. This is a terrible way to do business, and I hope the $50 dollars is worth the negative publicity they'll get via word-of-mouth and social media as I report my experience.

Early in May, my doctor ordered all of my normal labs done during my yearly physical. Quest handled the labs, since they are located in my doctors office. They took my debit card number and told me my portion of the bill would come to 154.95 after my insurance. I called and paid this amount to Quest over the phone the next week, by credit card. A few days later, I received my EOB from my insurance, telling me that they had paid the claim to Quest for like 92.00 and that I owed nothing. I have been on the phone with Quest no less than six times asking for my refund. (UPDATE: TEN times) I have sent them the EOB, I have called with a rep from my insurance company on the phone who verified when the company deposited the money into their account.
Three (UPDATE 5 times) times now I have been told that my refund was being rushed and two months later, NOTHING still. Victoria ** told me three weeks ago that she was the supervisor and was "rushing" my credit card refund and as of two days ago, had yet to put it through AGAIN. Nothing but lies, incompetence and horrible customer service from Quest the entire time. I am fighting for money I never even owed them in the first place. And they are STILL billing for me the invoice, which they have been told by a rep from my insurance company is paid and deposited already. Complete and utter crap.
I will NEVER use Quest again, ever. I will make sure that people know how horrible this experience has been. It may not mean anything to a huge corporation like Quest, but meanwhile here in the real world, some of us are living paycheck to paycheck and would love a true story. Update: I spoke with Quest again two days ago, who said they mailed me a check on the 14th, and came home to an email yesterday from the Better Business Bureau telling me that Quest JUST MAILED the check yesterday. Buyer beware with this company. I will NEVER spend another penny with this company.
