I do not often give 1-star reviews. In most cases I prefer not to give a review at all if I have nothing nice to say, but I just can't stay quiet about Quest anymore.
I'll admit out of the gate that I don't know what parts of the process this place is responsible for and what corporate is responsible for, so I'll just outline the entire awful process.
First, I tried a walk-in because appointments were booked for a blood test I was supposed to get for weeks out. Well, I spent somewhere around 2 hours in their cramped, terrible little waiting room to no avail. Alright, I guess walk-ins aren't the best idea here - so next, I made a reservation and came back 3 WEEKS LATER.
Did I mention they don't have staff to greet you? They have these little terminals and if you go in and 1 of the 2 is not broken or the screen isn't flickering, consider yourself lucky.
Getting blood drawn was actually the only OK part. The staff was OK to me, and I'm told my veins are hard to miss, so I got off easy there.
Then there's the billing - which is what "inspired" me to write this. I have been arguing with them about a bill - that BOTH of my on-file insurances have already agreed to pay for - for over a year now. First they were confused because I guess Quest doesn't train their employees on how to handle patients who have 2 insurances. After several months where I'd call each month and be told the issue was resolved, I'd get a new bill (read: the same bill) and start the process all over again. So I removed my secondary insurance for THEIR convenience, since the tests were so routine it'd all be covered by my primary anyway. Nope, guess how many bills I got where they billed my secondary and ONLY my secondary insurance? Not 1, but 2!
So I had my primary literally call them to explain the situation. I was told it was resolved.
Oh hey, it's my Quest anniversary and what do I get? Another bill. Billing the wrong insurance. Told it's past due.
It echoes many other reviews on here, but sometimes I wonder how many hours of my life I have wasted trying to get them to do the thing they are supposed to have done from the start.
As of now, the issue is STILL not resolved, and I'm not confident me dedicating more of my life to it on Monday is going to change that.
I know not everybody has a choice in where they get their blood drawn, but if you can avoid this place I highly recommend you at least try.
Just... ugh. If I never go to another Quest again it'll be too soon! read more
