Answer: For quality control and chain of possession they may assign you a container with a serial number. (So that you don't have a refilled container with someone elses' sample) You may have to fill the container in a room without water (So that you can not dilute your sample) When you hand them the container they place a stick-on thermometer. (To verify that the sample has the proper temperature and did not come out of a bag) Don't drink too much or your sample may appear diluted. Don't drink too little, or your sample size may notelet enough for testing. Water is better than coffee or juice.

Quest Diagnostics Lab Called And Asked For Another Specimen?

From Other - Health Forum:

Quest Diagnostics Lab called and asked for another specimen? I could just be freaking out a little but I went to Quest Diagnostics to get blood work done because I have been experiencing fatigue. I did the labs last week, and they called today and said they needed another specimen. When I asked the operator why? she couldn't tell me. I just wanted to ask if anyone has experienced this, and is it bad that they're asking for another specimen?

Answer: I used to draw blood. I can tell you that a few things can go wrong if the person taking the blood from you forgets a couple things. The first is that a tube that is supposed to stay liquid develops a clot in the tube. This can happen if the person taking blood doesn't invert the tubes right after getting the sample. These tubes have anticoagulants in them to prevent clotting, but if you don't mix the blood with the anticoagulants then getting a clot in a tube that not suppose to develop a clot. This is very common. Another is something hemlocks. Meaning that the red blood cells actually get split and release the content of the cell destroying the sample. Hemlocks happens when they use a needle that is too thin, basically shearing the cells as they enter the bevel of the needle, or they have trouble getting the sample and that sometimes causes hemlocks. In any case these 2 will certainly be the most probable cause of why your getting called back. The techs don't tell the secretary why. They don't need to know why and they don't care why. There is nothing wrong with your results just your sample, that is why your getting called back. Now if your doctor want you to get something redone then it is your results. A lab calls you back only if they can't get results, usually because of the reasons I mentioned

How Do I Handle This Quest Diagnostics (Medical/Lab) Billing Issue?

From Other - Health Forum:

How do I handle this Quest Diagnostics (medical/lab) billing issue? I attend a doctors office that uses a "sliding fee scale". Depending on how much money you make, that is what you pay. Back in August my doctor ordered me to do a AU (urine analysis) and told me that it would only cost me $5. I did the AU in my doctor's office that day and they sent my lab to Quest Diagnostics. Now Quest Diagnostics is saying I owe them $339?!?!?! How should I go about handling this? Thanks :)

Answer: Quest Diagnostics always messes things up... I had some testing done last year and they tried making me pay $1,500 for it when I only needed to pay $20. Just call them and let them know what your doctor said or if you have insurance, stuff like that. Just call and it should straighten everything out :)

What Do You Call A Person Who Works In A Lab Who Analyzes Blood And Other Bio hazardous Material?

From Medicine Forum:

What do you call a person who works in a lab who analyzes blood and other bio hazardous material? An example of where they work would be like Quest Diagnostics Lab. I want to know what its called because that's the career I'm choosing in college. They test blood samples for hemoglobin and all that other stuff. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THEY ARE CALLED!

Answer: The people testing blood in a clinical setting such as through a commercial lab like Quest are Laboratory Technologists or Clinical Lab Technicians. To get a job that gets you into the lab to do testing requires in most cases a BA or BS in chemistry and a special certification (a certificate course in addition to college) as a lab technologist where you learn more instrumentation such as those used in a commercial lab. That would make you competitive to do such work. Biomedical scientists do research on blood or the effect of things on blood chemistry. That work, not something they do at Quest, is an entirely different field.

From United States Forum:

Are you subject to any agreements relating to your present or any former employer(s)? What does this mean? I'm applying on line on Quest Diagnostics & this was one of the questions it asked me on the application.

Answer: A lot of companies make employees sign agreements stating they will not work for a competing company for so many years after their employment is terminated. They're referring to that type of agreement.
