Prepare for a test
Arrive prepared for a smoother visit
If your doctor provided you with an order for a test, you will need to visit one of our more than 2,250 Patient Service Centers to have your specimen collected.
We’re here to help you have the best experience possible. Arriving prepared can help make your visit go smoothly.

Get a lab order
Get a lab order from your doctor
Your doctor may prescribe lab testing as part of your visit. Or you can request a specific lab test from your doctor. A lab order can be printed or digital. If your doctor doesn’t hand you a printed lab order, we recommend contacting them prior to your Quest appointment to confirm that it was sent electronically.
Alternative option: Purchase your own test
Another option is to buy the test for yourself. It's a simple way to get the test you need, without a doctor's visit.
