![]() But the damage has been done and doctors to this day still dont think twice about using them because of a formerly good reputation they had once upon a time, I mean afterall what do doctors care how much youll have to pay out of pocket, they arent the ones paying right? Not to mention doctors are hustlers too, people are becoming more and more aware of this, before one could trust their doc, his or her word was enough, but now, with all the bribes, kickbacks from companies, and corruption, theres always that doubt, that"are they telling me the truth or just trying to make a buck off me?" so for all we know the relationship between a doc and quest could be "hey if you send us all your patients for lab work, we'll give you a percentage of the money we get from them, its a win win! So in theory they could be in cahoots with each other, and guess what? We'd never know. At one point they were probably honest and trustworthy, which is how so many doctors and patients even crossed paths with these bottom of the barrel parasites, but those days are long gone seeing as how they realized just how much they can get over on people and the fortunes that can be made in laboratory work. So my opinion is that a.) theyve just massively inflated prices and bill their patients through the wazoo to get what they were making before, just legally now, or b.) because they lost so much money from that lawsuit and getting busted theyve now starting upping prices far more to make up for the fortune theyve lost, either way this company disgusts me and I know im not alone, just google the name and almost every result that comes up will have a header like "complaint boards for quest diagnostics" or "scam alert: quest diagnostics" "scam reports: quest diagnostics" all kinds of results similiar to these, wheres the good you ask? Well there probably is none if you ask me. Some people never learn though, and I guarantee if this company were to get audited in depth or watched very closely by the billing association there will be some foul play found, I rpomise you that. Funny thing is not long ago they got in trouble with the law and board for employing some sketchy and illegal billing to their patients, paid a huge penalty fine which was just a smack on the wrist for them and easily affordable and went about their business. I was uphauled when I seen the amounts theyve been charging on my tests, $5, 000, $6, 000, ect each time, and this particular last time I was billed in the amount of $400, which is outrageous for something routine and should be covered, but something tells me the greed in quest just wanted more than they got from my insurance company, so who do they bill? Me of course to get that extra money, thieving like this on thousands if not millions of people, can you imagine how much excess money they make each year? just painting a picture here for you. The blood work the doctor ordered was very common and routine, nothing special, it was not tearing apart my dna sequence and recoding it to turn me into a superhuman like the price of my bill would indicate, no, it was simple, routine bloodwork that im sure any other lab wouldve only charged a quarter of the price, if that. ![]() My story is an all too common one, had bloodwork done, which was medically necessary, all was good, then recieved a big fat bill from them. My hope is that people read this and if it can even save some people the frustration and money of dealing with these thieves then my mission is accomplished, and on a greater scale if everyone who is sick and tired of being overcharged without a choice bands together and requests an a different lab we will hurt them where it counts, money. ![]() Im finding that if you specify to most docs that you refuse to use this lab and you would like it done by an alternative one, most have several they can go through and will choose a different one for you, mine did when I brought the issue of them overcharging up. ![]() ![]() Quest diagnostics is a joke, how and why they are so widely used is beyond me. ![]()
