MyQuest for Patients

This app is very user-friendly, I love being able to schedule appointments from a doctors office or anywhere at anytime of day or night. Having the ability to view and carry the results around with me to share with my healthcare team is an added bonus. Simply request that your doctors share the test results, there is a fast turnaround (I waited less than 12 hours for the results to be loaded.) Other patients commented they were frustrated for not getting instant access or immediate results so keep in mind, like everything in the healthcare system there is a process but if you read the rules and follow instructions you can get the information you need in a very timely manner.

It would be great if the results were loaded automatically and you didn’t have to make a request to be able to see your results. The appointment scheduler and entry of insurance information either does not work or the collectors at the PSC offices are not trained on how to access the information. I am a Quest employee with lab services as a benefit and my doctors office was billed repeated for my labs when I provided my insurance card and employee number at the time of my appointment and blood draw. Then after my doctors office called and I called three different numbers I hope that Cheryl got everything taken care of for me. I feel sorry for patients that don’t know who or where to turn when issues arise. This is all to difficult even as an employee and even more embarrassing as a patient/employee. Things need to improve for the general public and especially for the older age group of patients.

For over a month I have sent screenshot after screenshot, changed my password numerous times to still get the same message, please try to login at a later time and to contact MyQuestSupport. Each time I log the request I get the same response.. I show you have successfully logged in (mind you I have sent another screenshot that has the time with the error message IMMEDIATELY after I get the quest support email so obviously that’s not true) . It tells me to change my password.. So I try again, then send ANOTHER screenshot back to myquest support showing, still not successful. A day later, I get the same idiotic email stating they show I successfully logged in. First off, you inputted someone else’s test results in my chart and ever since I informed you that you made a mistake you have locked me out of my account. At what point will your support desk actually read the emails and see that I’ve followed every direction with still no luck?!

I like to be proactive with my tests, so I really like the ability to get the results before I see my doctor to discuss them. Not only does MyQuest provide the results of the current test, but also previous tests, and trend charts that easily lets you check your progress. Love the ability to view not only an iPhone formatted version, but to display the full 'paper' format. My only gripe is that it takes about a week to get the results, but I understand this is mandated, I think, by government rules. Nanny state. The ability to get current and past results for easy comparison (doctor is usually to busy to look up past results) and discussion with my doctor is why I will always come back to Quest for my tests.

I have cancer and I’m on what’s called a watch and wait protocol. As part of this protocol it is essential to monitor blood markers. This app is perfect for that because I can watch for trends. What isn’t perfect about this app is the fact that Quest sent some recent results to my husband. That means that I’m unable to track my results accurately because I’m missing an entire set of blood test results. I’ve been going back and forth with Quest about this for months and they keep saying they don’t have my blood test results. They have them, they just sent them to the wrong person. I would consider this to be two separate HIPAA violations. 1. They sent my protected health information to the wrong person and 2. They are denying me access to my own records. Be watchful because any time you make health records available electronically, there’s more room for error.
