Information for Physicians
Lab Card Select is a discount program that offers low-cost outpatient laboratory testing when specimens are directed to Quest Diagnostics.
How the Program Works
Your patient should present his/her Lab Card Select Card or healthcare
card with the Lab Card Select logo. In order for your patient to benefit
from the cost savings of Lab Card Select, their specimens must be sent
to Quest Diagnostics for testing. For courier pickup call Quest Diagnostics
at 1-800-750-1253. In most cases, test results will be faxed the next
morning – before your office opens. If you are unable to collect
your patient’s specimens, you can send them, along with a test requisition,
to an approved Quest Diagnostics patient service center. At the patient
service center, specimens will be collected by a trained medical professional
and sent to Quest Diagnostics for testing.
If you do not have Quest Diagnostics test requisitions, you can use any prescription pad that has your fax number on it. To order personalized Quest Diagnostics test requisitions, call us at 1-800-750-1253.
If your patient’s specimens are sent to a laboratory other than Quest Diagnostics, they will not receive the savings this benefit provides. The Lab Card Select Program includes most outpatient laboratory tests. STAT tests, bleeding time tests, and tests performed while your patient is in the hospital are not covered by Lab Card Select.
Client Services
Quest Diagnostics’s client services staff is available to assist
you weekdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturdays from 7:30 a.m. to 4
p.m. CST. Emergency calls will be answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
By calling client services at 1-800-750-1253, you can order additional
tests or obtain information on abnormal ranges, results reporting, supplies
or billing. Furthermore, we have established a network of in-house medical
and technical experts who are available to provide you with specific test
information.
