Patients are responsible for arranging payment for the collection fee via credit card at the time of scheduling. While the specimen collection will not be billed to the Health Plan, the laboratory tests performed would be billed as a health care claim to your Health Plan under the terms of the existing contractual agreements and in accordance with the Quest Diagnostics usual procedures.

Your mobile phlebotomist will collect your insurance information for your lab testing. Billing for lab testing is separate from the mobile specimen collection fee required when scheduling your in-home appointment.

A $55 fee applies for the in-home specimen collection and sending the samples to a Quest Diagnostics laboratory.

You may use any major credit card to securely submit payment for the collection service fee at time of scheduling.

Your health care provider will submit your lab order to Quest Diagnostics, or you can upload your lab order during the in-home collection scheduling process.

All patients may choose to have their specimens collected at a Quest Diagnostics Patient Service Center. To schedule an in-center specimen collection, visit appointment.questdiagnostics.com.
