Quest Diagnostics experience

Patients

Overview

We partner with Quest Diagnostics to offer fast, affordable blood testing. Access your Quest order and schedule your blood draw directly from your Fullscript account with guided steps to walk you through the process. Everything you need is available digitally—no waiting for a test kit. This guide covers how to complete your Quest testing and access your results.

Does your order contain testing from Diagnostic Solutions, Doctor’s Data, Precision Analytical (DUTCH), 3×4 or Genova? Learn more about the specialty lab testing experience

Pay for your testing

After your provider creates your testing recommendation, you’ll receive an email with a link to view their plan.

If your provider has not paid for your testing upfront, you will first complete payment through a secure checkout process right from your Fullscript account. Use our checkout and payment guide for detailed step-by-step instructions.

Note:

All lab testing on Fullscript is cash-pay only and is not reimbursable with insurance. This includes direct insurance reimbursement and retroactive reimbursement through a Superbill.

Fullscript doesn’t determine HSA/FSA eligibility for lab tests. Patients should check with their plan administrator to confirm HSA/FSA coverage.

Quest Digital Requisition Form 

Once you or your provider completes payment, you’ll receive an email from us letting you know that your digital Quest requisition form is ready in your patient account. Your digital requisition form includes information about you, your provider and the testing ordered. Your digital requisition form typically generates within minutes, but it may take up to 24 hours.

Your digital requisition form is all you need to schedule your blood draw with Quest. 

You can print the form or show the digital version by navigating to Labs, clicking View Details, and choosing View requisition.  

Accessing your Quest digital requisition form in your Fullscript account.

Tip!

Use your mobile Fullscript patient app to quickly pull up your Quest requisition form when you arrive at the draw center. No printer needed!

Schedule your blood draw 

Once you have access to your Quest requisition form, you’re ready to schedule your blood draw. You’ve already paid the $10 Quest blood draw fee during checkout, so there’s no further payment due when scheduling your appointment or when you arrive at the Quest patient service center.

We recommend scheduling an appointment to reduce your wait time. Quest serves scheduled patients first, so walk-ins may experience delays—especially in the mornings when draw centers are busiest.

Note:

If you’re located in Arizona, use this guide to schedule with Sonora Quest.

Follow these steps to schedule your Quest blood draw appointment:

  1. In the Labs section, find your test and choose View Details. Then click Schedule appointment.
  1. Next, select your nearest Quest patient service center location.
  1. Choose the day and time that work best and select Schedule your appointment. If you need to choose a different patient service center, simply click back to search for another location.
  1. Once your appointment has been successfully confirmed, select Add to calendar. From this screen, you can always Reschedule appointment or Cancel appointment.
  1. If you need to return to this screen, navigate to the My health area of your Fullscript account, and select Labs. Click View details to see your testing instructions, view your digital requisition form and manage your Quest appointment time all in one place.
  1. Once you’ve selected your appointment date and time, we’ll send you a confirmation email with your appointment details and a QR code for quick and easy check-in. You’ll also receive automated reminders before your appointment to ensure you’re fully prepared for your blood draw.

Prepare for your test

Once you schedule your appointment, it’s time to begin thinking about how to prepare for your test.

Find all your testing instructions right in your Fullscript account by navigating to Labs and clicking View Details. If your provider has included any special instructions for you around testing preparation, like stopping a supplement or medication, you’ll be able to view that here too. 

The lab’s instructions and any special instructions from your practitioner can be found in your account.

For some blood tests, you may need to fast for up to 8 hours before your draw. If fasting is required, it will be noted in your instructions. Fasting means no food or drinks—except plain water—during this time.

Where you will see if your test(s) require fasting or not.

Avoid waiting until the day of your blood draw appointment to determine if you need to fast, as this could lead to rescheduling your appointment or receiving inaccurate results. If you’re unsure if fasting is required, reach out to our customer support team and we’ll be happy to help you.

If fasting is a challenge, book your appointment for early in the morning and bring a drink and snack with you to enjoy afterward.

Tip!

Set a reminder on your phone or place a sticky note in a visible spot, like your kitchen, to remember to stop eating or drinking before your scheduled appointment.

Blood draw appointment

On the day of your blood draw, you’ll need to bring a form of ID and either your printed requisition form or a device to show the digital version when you arrive at the draw center.

To check-in for your appointment, you can use the QR code from your email or text appointment reminder or use the kiosk screen inside the building to provide your name and date of birth.

When the phlebotomist calls your name, they’ll confirm your identity and then proceed to draw your blood.

You’ve already paid for your testing and the blood draw, so there’s no payment due at the time of your appointment.
