Users will be able to access the results through Quest Diagnostics’ MyQuest app by Care360, using a smartphone, tablet or desktop computer. The pilot program for the service began on Nov. 21, 2016. Consumers can order tests via forms available on the Quest Diagnostics website.
Quest’s laboratories are accredited by the College of American Pathologists. The company is an advocate for providing patients with direct access to lab testing, and through a recent collaboration with Safeway, it is offering lab testing services at 12 Safeway locations in five states.
“Consumers expect the most accurate and up-to-date diagnostic information to proactively manage their health so that they can make educated decisions, and we are pleased to begin offering this service to residents of Colorado and Missouri,” said Steve Rusckowski, Quest Diagnostics’ president and CEO.
