About QuestDirect

You can use QuestDirect™ to select and pay for lab tests for you or your child. Licensed professionals from PWNHealth LLC and affiliated professional entities (collectively, PWN) will provide clinical oversight of lab testing, including ordering selected tests, when appropriate. Then, have specimens collected for the testing you purchased:
• In-person. If you purchased a test with an in-person option, make an appointment for you or your child and go visit a collection location (such as a Quest Patient Service Center, drive-thru, or pop-up collection site) to have your specimen collected.
• At-home. If you purchased a test with an at-home self-collection kit, wait for your at-home kit to arrive. When it arrives, follow the instructions to collect your own specimen and then return the completed kit to Quest in its prepaid, pre-addressed packaging.
Note: You cannot purchase a test with an at-home self-collection kit for a child.
Specimens are then delivered to a Quest laboratory for testing. When testing is complete, results are confidentially evaluated by a physician at PWN. Any result requiring prompt attention will be communicated to you by PWN and all results are sent directly to your secure MyQuest™ account. Test results will be available in your MyQuest™ account in 2–5 business days from the time your specimen is received, depending on your test.
Quest offers testing you can purchase for yourself or your child, with physician oversight, as follows:
• Tests with an In-Person option can be purchased in all states except Arizona, Alaska, and Hawaii, as well as Puerto Rico.
• Tests with an At-Home Kit option can be purchased in all states except Arizona, New York (with the exception of the COVID-19 Active Infection Test and FIT Colorectal Cancer Screening), Alaska, and Hawaii, as well as Puerto Rico.
Please note that New York residents may purchase an at-home collection kit for a COVID-19 Active Infection Test and a FIT Colorectal Cancer Screening. New York residents may not purchase any other at-home collection kits.
We strongly recommend that you share your test results with your or your child's doctor in order to make the best health decisions.
When you purchase testing from QuestDirect, be aware of this important information:
• QuestDirect tests are only for individuals who want to pay directly for testing and do not want to seek reimbursement from their insurance carrier or the government. You understand that Services purchased under or through QuestDirect are solely your financial responsibility.
COVID-19 testing may be fully paid by your health plan or by the government, with no out-of-pocket cost, when billed directly to your health plan or the government. For more information about a no-cost COVID-19 Active Infection testing option with QuestDirect, visit the COVID-19 Testing at No Cost to You page.
Note: QuestDirect is unable to provide you with a receipt that contains the basic information generally required by health plans for reimbursement. If you are planning to submit for reimbursement via your savings account, these codes may be helpful.
• Testing purchases include a non-refundable cancellation fee. For additional information, please review the Cancellation Policy and Expiration Policy for the testing you purchase.

Purchasing QuestDirect Tests

You look for lab tests that meet you or your child's specific health needs. Many of the tests require that you or your child visit a collection location (such as a Quest Patient Service Center, drive-thru, or pop-up collection site) to have a specimen collected, but for some of the tests the specimen can be collected at home via an at-home self-collection kit (at-home self-collection kits are not available for children). Once you find tests you are interested in, select and pay for them online. Licensed professionals at PWN will provide clinical oversight of lab testing, including ordering selected tests for you or your child, if appropriate. You then have 60 days to come to a collection location to have a specimen collected for testing at Quest Diagnostics, or 70 days to collect a sample (using the instructions included with the at-home kit) and then return the at-home kit in its prepaid, pre-addressed packaging to Quest Diagnostics. The results of the testing will be confidentially evaluated by PWN. Any result requiring prompt attention will be communicated to you by PWN and all lab test results are sent directly to your secure MyQuest™ account.
Note: If you purchased a test with the in-person specimen collection option for either you or your child and are unable to come in to have a specimen collected within 60 days of purchase, your purchase will expire. Additionally, if you purchased a test with an at-home collection kit and are unable to return the completed kit within 70 days of purchase, your purchase will expire. For more information, please see our Expiration Policy.

Some of tests have two prices because of the collection location. You can have your specimen collected in person at a collection location such as a Quest Patient Service Center, drive-thru, or pop-up collection site, or by receiving an at-home self-collection kit where you can collect your own sample (at home) using the included instructions and then return your kit to a Quest Diagnostics laboratory in its prepaid, pre-addressed packaging.

If you are looking at the list of tests, a banner message of At-Home Kit Only or At-Home Kit Available appears below the picture and above the name of the test. Additionally, you can sort the list of tests to only show tests that have at-home kits by selecting the Show At-Home Kits Only check box.
Additionally, when you click the Add to Cart button, you will be asked to Select your test option: In-Person or Receive At-Home Kit if there is an at-home self-collection kit available.
Note: You cannot purchase a test with an at-home self-collection kit for a child.

If the test or at-home kit for a test that you are interested in is sold out, click the E-mail Me When Available link to sign up to receive a notification email when the at-home kit is back in stock and/or the test is available for purchase.

The test is the same high-quality validated solution offered to providers.
In traditional healthcare, a patient’s medical provider assesses the patient and makes a determination whether testing or other treatment or diagnostic procedures are medically necessary and appropriate. Any fees for services are then typically submitted for reimbursement to a health plan or the government or paid for out-of-pocket.
With QuestDirect, you can conveniently select a test and purchase it online. A physician licensed in your state reviews each test request, and if appropriate, places an order for testing. Afterwords, you have the opportunity to speak with a licensed physician about your results.

We can’t tell you which tests to purchase. You can find an explanation of the tests on our website (which includes age range for tests that are available for children), but if you’re not sure which to choose, please speak with your doctor.
While browsing through the available testing options, click Learn More to find out more information about the tests that are offered, along with any pretesting requirements.

You can purchase tests for yourself or your child, with physician oversight, as follows:
• Tests with an In-Person option can be purchased in all states except Arizona, Alaska, and Hawaii, as well as Puerto Rico.
• Tests with an At-Home Kit option can be purchased in all states except Arizona, New York (with the exception of the COVID-19 at-home kit and the FIT Colorectal Cancer Screening), Alaska, and Hawaii, as well as Puerto Rico.

At-Home Kits

An at-home kit is composed of items that you need to collect a sample (for example, blood or nasal secretions) and then safely return that sample to a Quest Diagnostics for laboratory testing. Each kit contains an instructional guide that lists all of the materials included with the kit and provides detailed instructions on how to collect a sample. Some instructional guides also contain URLs (links) to instructional videos. If your kit's instructional guide includes a link to a video, it is very important that you watch the instructional video prior to collecting your sample.

When your at-home kit arrives, it will contain everything you need to collect your sample, including instructions and a welcome letter. If you need additional information or would like to see an instructional video on how to collect your sample, please visit our How It Works page.

Preparing for In Person Tests at a Quest Patient Service Center

Please be aware that when you visit a Quest Patient Service Center:
• Scheduled appointments are strongly encouraged and will receive priority. Please arrive and check in 10 minutes before your appointment time. If you check in more than 10 minutes late for your appointment, you will be served as a walk-in.
• If you walk in, you will have to wait for the next available opening.
• Mask wearing is highly recommended and may be required by state/local mandate in healthcare settings.
Note: If you have severe symptoms such as a fever of 102° F or higher for 48 hours or severe and constant shortness of breath, please see your doctor or healthcare provider before making an appointment.

Some blood tests require that you refrain from eating or drinking anything but water (fasting) prior to having your blood drawn. Fasting or diet requirements will be detailed in your confirmation email.

Fasting is where you do not eat or drink anything except water before having a lab test—usually for 8 hours or more. If you have prescription medications, you should continue taking them during this time. Please visit www.QuestDiagnostics.com/patients/get-tested/prepare/fasting for additional fasting information.

For tests that require fasting, it provides the most reliable results. If you did not fast and want us to perform the test anyway, we’ll note it on the report for reference.

Visit the Quest Schedule Appointment page to reschedule or cancel your appointment. You can sign in with your MyQuest username and password or use your confirmation code to find you or your child's appointment.

Note: Some states do not permit a phlebotomist to take blood pressure. For instances where blood pressure is unavailable, the HQS algorithm has been adjusted to exclude blood pressure from the calculation. Additionally, an HQS will not be available if you have not taken the Health Risk Assessment or if no biometric measurements were provided.

A Health Risk Assessment is a brief survey that captures family health history and current health and wellness behaviors. The information you provide contributes to your Health Quotient Score and your 12 unique Risk Factors. This survey only takes a few minutes to complete and you can complete it at any time, before or after your lab results are available.
To access the Health Risk Assessment:
1 Go to MyQuest or QuestDirect and sign in with your MyQuest credentials.
2 Click the person () icon > Your Online Orders.
3 Locate your purchase for a Comprehensive Health Profile in the Open Orders tab.
You will see a tracker that will show you what steps you need to complete.
4 Click Fill Out Health Risk Assessment and then answer all the questions.

The 12 Risk Factors are as follows:
• Alcohol
• Blood Pressure
• Cholesterol
• Diabetes
• Exercise
• Nutrition
• Preventive Screenings
• Safety
• Self-Care
• Stress
• Tobacco
• Weight
These Risk Factors are calculated from the same data as your Health Quotient Score and provide areas of focus for you to consider in improving your health or maintaining a healthy lifestyle. In the report they are broken out into 3 different color-coded categories:
• Low risk. This is a healthy risk level. Continue making healthy choices.
• Moderate risk. This risk level means you may be at an increased risk for health conditions associated with this factor. You can improve your risk level by making healthy lifestyle choices.
• High risk. This risk level means you may be at high risk for health conditions associated with this factor. Review your results associated with this factor and next steps.

Biometric measurements refer to height, weight, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, and waist or hip circumference. If you know your biometric information, you can provide it in the Health Risk Assessment; otherwise, you can have these measurements collected during your appointment. If you are uncomfortable with providing or having these measurements taken, your Health Quotient Score may be unavailable.

Fasting (not eating or drinking anything except water) for 8–12 hours before your sample is collected is recommended, but not required, for the Comprehensive Health Profile. For most, not fasting is acceptable; however, those who choose not to fast may show elevated triglyceride levels.

The Abbott BinaxNOW™ COVID-19 Ag Card Home Test has not been FDA cleared or approved but has been authorized by FDA under an EUA for use by authorized laboratories; This product has been authorized only for the detection of proteins from SARS- CoV-2, not for any other viruses or pathogens; this product is only authorized for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of in vitro diagnostics for detection and/or diagnosis of COVID-19 under Section 564(b)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb3(b)(1), unless the declaration is terminated or authorization is revoked sooner.

IMPORTANT! Please seek immediate medical care if you have signs of a serious medical condition. These include, but are not limited to, persistent fever (lasting longer than 48 hours or greater than 102°F) or a persistent low-grade fever, severe shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, continuous pain or pressure in the chest, severe coughing spells or coughing up blood, irregular heartbeat, confusion, blue lips or face, dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling too weak to stand, feeling very tired or lethargic, slurred speech or seizures, persistent vomiting or diarrhea, or feeling not well enough to stay home. |

The COVID-19 Active Infection Test uses an anterior nares (nasal) swab to collect a sample. An at-home self collection kit can be sent to your home or you can make an appointment at a collection location (such as a Quest Patient Service Center, drive-thru, or pop-up collection site). Options are as follows:
• At-Home Collection. You can collect an upper respiratory nasal sample at home using the collection kit we send to you. This collection kit is sent overnight to your home via FedEx® at no additional charge. Detailed instructions on how to collect your sample are included in the collection kit. Also included is a prepaid, pre-addressed FedEx overnight shipping envelope that you can use to securely ship your sample back to a Quest Diagnostics lab for testing.
• In-Person Collection You visit a pop-up, drive-thru location, or patient service center at your selected appointment time for an observed self-collection of a nasal swab sample. Regardless of collection location, a trained healthcare professional will observe you swabbing your nose to ensure the sample is collected correctly.
Note: Before you complete your purchase, you must schedule an appointment time and collection location. Drive-thru locations may be limited or unavailable in some areas, and collection hours may vary by location.
While you wait on your results, we suggest you continue to follow your federal, state, and local government guidance.
If your results are positive, it is important to contact your healthcare provider immediately, self-isolate, and monitor your symptoms.
If your results are negative, you were most likely not infected with COVID-19 at the time of sample collection. However, it is important to note that in some cases there is not enough SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the sample to detect the virus. This can happen in a certain percentage of cases during the stages of infection. If you are experiencing symptoms, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation, and to take protective measures to avoid infecting others.

This test may be helpful if you:
• Currently have symptoms of fever, cough, shortness of breath, and/or loss of taste or smell. Other less common symptoms may include tiredness, body or muscle aches, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat, and/or runny or stuffy nose.
• Live or work in a place where people reside, meet, or gather in close proximity (this can include healthcare settings, homeless shelters, assisted living facilities, group homes, prisons, detention centers, schools, and workplaces).
• Have been in close contact with someone who has a confirmed case of COVID-19.
• Your employer, public health department, contact investigator, or healthcare provider has identified you as someone who should get tested.
• You are visiting a place that requires testing prior to arrival. This testing can also be used to identify individuals who do not have symptoms of COVID-19 or have no known exposure to SARS-CoV-2, but who are unknowingly infected.
• You are trying to determine if a prior infection with COVID-19 has resolved.
This test may not be helpful if you:
• Currently have severe symptoms that limit your daily activities. Seek medical attention right away if this is the case.
• Have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 3 months. When you test positive, you will not need to be tested again for 3 months, as long as you do not develop new symptoms. For some individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19, parts of the virus may continue to be in their samples for up to 3 months, although they may not be contagious during this time.
• Do not have symptoms and none of the above statements apply to you.

Test results will confirm whether or not you are infected with COVID-19.
If your results are positive, it is important to contact your healthcare provider immediately, self-isolate, and monitor your symptoms.
If your results are negative, you were most likely not infected with COVID-19 at the time of sample collection. However, it is important to note that in some cases there is not enough SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the sample to detect the virus. This can happen in a certain percentage of cases during the stages of infection. If you are experiencing symptoms, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation, and to take protective measures to avoid infecting others.

This test may not detect the virus in early stages of infection. Furthermore, the virus may not be detected if the sample is not collected as directed. Although the possibility is low, a false negative result should be considered if you have had recent exposure to the virus along with symptoms consistent with COVID-19.

The COVID-19 and Flu Test is a molecular or nucleic acid test (for example “PCR” test), which checks for genetic material (viral RNA) produced by the virus. This test uses a nasal swab collection kit, which is authorized by the FDA under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), and will be used to test for COVID-19 (an illness caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2) as well as influenza A and B. The test does not check for influenza C.

This test may be helpful if:
• You are experiencing symptoms including fever, cough, shortness of breath, loss of taste or smell, tiredness, body or muscle aches, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat, and/or runny or stuffy nose
• You live or work in a place where people reside, meet, or gather in close proximity (this can include healthcare settings, homeless shelters, assisted living facilities, group homes, prisons, detention centers, schools, and workplaces)

• Currently have severe symptoms that limit your daily activities. Severe symptoms may include, but are not limited to, persistent fever (lasting longer than 48 hours greater than 102 °F) or a persistent low-grade fever, severe shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, continuous pain or pressure in the chest, severe coughing spells or coughing up blood, abdominal (gut) pain, neck pain, rash, bloodshot eyes, irregular heartbeat, confusion, blue lips or face, dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling too weak to stand, feeling very tired or lethargic, slurred speech or seizures, persistent vomiting or diarrhea, or feeling not well enough to stay home. Seek medical attention right away if this is the case.
• Have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 3 months. When you test positive, you will not need to be tested again for 3 months, as long as you do not develop new symptoms. For some individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19, parts of the virus may continue to be in their samples for up to 3 months, although they may not be contagious during this time.
• Do not have symptoms and none of the above statements apply to you.

Test results will confirm whether you are infected with COVID-19, influenza A or B, or both (COVID-19 and influenza).
If your results are positive (detected), it is important to contact your healthcare provider immediately, self-isolate, and monitor your symptoms.
If your results are negative (not detected), you were most likely not infected at the time of sample collection; however, it is important to note that in some cases there is not enough RNA in the sample to detect 1 or more of the viruses. This can happen sometimes during the early stages of infection. If you are experiencing symptoms, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation, and to take protective measures to avoid infecting others.

This test may not detect these viruses in early stages of infection. Furthermore, the viruses may not be detected if the sample is not collected as directed. Although the possibility is low, a false negative result should be considered if you have had recent exposure to the viruses along with symptoms consistent with COVID-19 or the flu.

Individuals may have COVID-19 and flu testing fully paid by their health plan or the government. If you are looking for that option, see if you’re eligible at QuestCOVID19.com or contact your healthcare provider.
Individuals also have the right to have testing without submitting to insurance or the government for reimbursement. With QuestDirect, you can purchase this testing online.

Flu symptoms are similar in children and adults and include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, and fatigue. Vomiting and diarrhea can also occur and are more common in children than adults. Not everyone with the flu will have a fever.

Children experiencing the following symptoms should get medical care right away:
• Fast breathing or trouble breathing
• Blue-colored lips or face
• Ribs pulling in with each breath
• Chest pain
• Severe muscle pain
• Dehydration (no urine for 8 hours, dry mouth, no tears when crying)
• Not alert or interacting when awake
• Seizures
• Fever above 104°F
• Fever or cough that improve but then return or worsen
• Worsening of medical conditions
• Any other emergency signs or symptoms
Talk to your child’s healthcare provider about any other symptoms that are severe or concerning.

Children are at risk during every flu season. Children younger than 5 years old (especially those younger than 2) are at high risk of getting very sick from the flu and commonly need medical care because of the flu. Some complications from the flu in children can include:
• Pneumonia (an illness where the lungs get infected and inflamed)
• Dehydration (when a child’s body loses too much water and salts)
• Worsening of long-term medical problems like heart disease or asthma
• Issues with brain functioning
• Sinus problems and ear infections
• In rare cases, flu complications can be fatal

New evidence suggests that children who have or have had COVID-19 may develop an inflammatory condition similar to Kawasaki disease or toxic shock syndrome up to 4 weeks after their infection. This condition is called multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). If you suspect that your child has symptoms of this inflammatory syndrome (fever, abdominal pain vomiting, diarrhea, neck pain, rash, eye redness, or feeling overly tired), be sure to see your child’s healthcare provider right away. The good news is that this condition is treatable when caught early.


This blood test is a spike protein test which may detect IgG antibodies from a prior or recent COVID-19 infection, regardless of whether symptoms were present. Positive results may also occur after a COVID-19 vaccination, but the clinical significance is not yet known, nor is it known how good this test is at detecting antibodies in those who have been vaccinated. (This is not a test meant for detecting an active infection* )
It is not yet known how effective this test is at detecting antibodies in those who have been vaccinated. Additionally, how long antibodies remain detectable after infection or vaccination and how long protection, if any, may last is also not known. The results of this test should not be interpreted as an indication of degree of immunity or protection.
Antibodies are proteins that the body produces in response to an infection or vaccine. After a natural infection, current research shows that it may be best to get antibody testing 3 to 4 weeks after symptom onset or known exposure to COVID-19 to increase the opportunity to detect an immune response.
After vaccination, it is not known how long it takes to develop antibodies. Based on the latest research, it may be best to wait 3-4 weeks after your vaccination is fully completed. Antibody testing for the purposes of vaccine decision making is not currently recommended by the CDC.
If you test too soon, your body may not have produced enough antibodies to be detected by the test, which can lead to a false negative result. This test can sometimes detect antibodies from other related coronaviruses you may have been exposed to, such as a virus that causes the common cold. This can cause a false positive result.
COVID-19 is highly contagious, and you should continue to practice preventive measures to protect yourself and others, regardless of your antibody level.
*The antibody test is not meant for detecting an active infection. The swab test (sometimes also known as a molecular, RNA or PCR test) should be used to test for active infection.

The COVID-19 Antibody test is not meant for detecting an active infection. The swab test (sometimes also known as a molecular, RNA or PCR test) should be used to test for active infection.

This test may be helpful if you:
• Have previously tested positive for COVID-19 or were never diagnosed with COVID-19 and are looking to determine if you may have been previously infected with the virus
• Want to know if you have detectable levels of COVID-19 antibodies
• Want to track antibody levels over time
This COVID-19 Antibody Test may not be helpful if you have a compromised immune system or have a condition that makes it difficult to fight infections.
You should not get this COVID-19 Antibody Test and instead contact your healthcare provider if you are feeling sick or have had a fever within the last 72 hours, think you are currently infected with COVID-19, were diagnosed with COVID-19 in the past 10 days or think you may have been exposed to COVID-19 in the past 14 days.

If your child has a food allergy, they may experience any of the following symptoms:
• Tingling or itching of their face, lips, mouth, tongue, or throat
• Hives or skin rash or itchy skin
• Wheezing, chest tightness, or slight trouble breathing
• Runny nose, sneezing, or nasal congestion
• Itchy or watery eyes
• Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, or pain in their stomach
• Feeling tired
• Swollen throat or the sensation of a lump in their throat that makes it difficult to breathe
• Drop in blood pressure
• Rapid pulse
• Dizziness, lightheadedness, or loss of consciousness
IMPORTANT: If you think your child is having an allergic reaction, you should seek medical attention right away!

A food allergy is when your immune system reacts to a certain food because it has mistaken that food as a threat to your body. The response your body has to the food is called an “allergic reaction.” The food you are allergic to is called a “food allergen.” If you think you have a food allergy, it’s important to discuss your symptoms with your healthcare provider and get tested.

Food allergies happen when your body believes proteins in a certain food are harmful and your immune system creates antibodies (called Immunoglobulin E ([IgE]) against the food. Allergies can develop slowly and may also change over time.
IgE levels alone cannot tell you if you have an allergy. Since IgE levels vary over time, they are just one tool used to evaluate an allergy. A healthcare provider will look at your symptoms, medical history, and test results to diagnose a food allergy.

You are more likely to have food allergies if you:
• Have a family member with food allergies
• Have other food allergies
• Have other types of allergies (like hay fever or eczema)
• Have asthma

No, a higher level of IgE antibodies does not mean a more severe allergic reaction to a food. For example, a very low level of IgE antibodies can still mean that your child may have a severe allergy to the food.
Results of this test may not always match with results of other allergy tests (ie, a skin prick test).

Your child’s Food Allergy Test Panel results will be the first step in assessing their immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody reactions to these 15 common food allergens.
• Almond | • Cashew nut | • Cow’s milk |
• Codfish | • Egg white | • Hazelnut |
• Peanut | • Salmon | • Scallop |
• Sesame seed | • Shrimp | • Soybean |
• Tuna | • Walnut | • Wheat |
Having IgE antibodies, along with allergic symptoms, may indicate an allergy. Having a positive result does not necessarily mean that your child has a food allergy. There is also a chance that an allergic reaction can occur even if the results are negative.
Additional tests are often needed to confirm an allergy. Only a healthcare provider/ allergy specialist can confirm a food allergy. You should share your child’s results with their healthcare provider, who can help you decide the next steps in your child’s care. A healthcare provider will look at your child’s symptoms, medical history, and test results to diagnose a food allergy.

Other types of food allergy testing include skin prick tests and an oral food challenge. These tests (administered by allergy specialists), along with a detailed medical history, diet, and assessment of symptoms, help healthcare providers and allergy specialists diagnose and confirm a food allergy.

It’s important to share your child’s results with their healthcare provider before adding or eliminating any foods from your child’s diet. A healthcare provider can help you decide the next steps in your child’s care.

There is no cure for a food allergy. If your child has a food allergy, your child will need to avoid that food. A healthcare provider or allergy specialist can help you and your family create a treatment plan that works for your child. This may include limiting your child’s diet and paying close attention to food labels. Some medications, such as antihistamines and an EpiPen, can help control your child’s symptoms or stop an allergic response from occurring.
Talk to your child’s healthcare provider about any other symptoms that are severe or concerning.
