![]() ![]() I often need to make several appointments (sometimes daily or weekly). I like the fact that I can make appointments online. They have been always good with no complaints and that is why this is my favorite quest in Ellenton florida I don’t know her name but she has red hair and freckles and fair skin, so I would like to know her name. But I didn’t have to spend my entire day there without eating and just sips of water. So she could have explained this and what they had to do then I wouldn’t have spent about 6 hours there. That I understood but the nurse that was so rude and kept saying that they are not taking any walk ins. I wanted all day that they were open to find out because of them being behind they where behind schedule Finally at 20 minutes to 3 one of the other nurses explained to me that they need that extra 20 minutes to finish paperwork to get blood samples out. This time it was different I know I was a walk in but I needed to have my hemoglobin checked because if it was even lower I would have to go to the hospital and get a couple of pints of blood. I have always have no problem at my every 12 weeks appointment but in this case it was a late doctor appointment and I needed to get my blood drawn but it took this one rude nurse to make my experience unhappy and a bit angry when she told me after a few hours being here as a walk in. It only takes one person to make the experience uncomfortable Btw, I’m director of a nonprofit medical research institute - and am writing this review to congratulate Quest and to help you help yourself by looking for trends. So help your doctor, by looking to see if any of your lab values show a trend (for better or for worse) instead of waiting until a value is outside the reference range. The AMA, the CDC, the NIH - everyone is now recognizing that YOU are better off when *participating* in your healthcare. Doctors usually scan your most recent lab report, only looking for an H or L - few doctors will also study your last three or four lab reports - they will miss a trend. A trend are much more meaningful than a simple “H” or “L” (high or low). ![]() I just noticed a somewhat hidden feature: tap on any value and you’ll get a graph of all your history at Quest - this helps you to detect a trend, if your lab tests have been done by Quest. ![]() We strongly recommend that you share your test results with your doctor in order to make the best health decisions.QUEST has does an excellent job reporting lab results, with useful information about the meaning of the values.

Health plans do not cover all healthcare services. In certain cases, for tests that Quest Diagnostics knows are likely not covered based on a health plan’s policies, we’ll issue you an AWN to notify you of your potential financial responsibility, and we’ll ask that you review and sign it if you’d like to proceed with the service(s). If you have questions about your coverage, contact your insurance company. Your responsibilities typically include copays, deductibles, coinsurance, and any testing services not covered by your plan. Whether you’ll owe a portion of lab testing completely depends on your insurance. We don’t hold your funds and won’t charge you if your insurance pays the full amount. You’ll authorize an amount based on the estimated out-of-pocket cost of your lab test-but we’ll only charge your card if there’s a patient cost after we bill your insurance company. You will need to provide a credit, debit, or health savings card during your Quest Diagnostics visit. ![]()
