My name is **** *******. I am an elderly and disabled man. In 2016, the *************** placed me on SSDI benefits for various medical conditions from which I suffer from.I have been receiving continued harassing medical bills from Quest for tests that have always been covered by my insurance plan. Furthermore, my doctor has contacted Quest to provide them with whatever diagnosis codes necessary to make sure this test continues to be paid for by them. I have repeatedly told this information to Quest, yet they continue harassing me which has caused some of my medical conditions to be exacerbated. My doctors will testify to this if necessary. Because of this, I have consulted with legal counsel. My attorney advised me to try and resolve this matter by contacting the BBB. However, if that does not work, please understand that we will utilize all legal remedies to resolve this matter, which will include but not be limited to contacting all applicable social and news media outlets, government agencies, and filing a lawsuit for costs plus damages.Business Response

quest is committing fraud and tryingto collect payment for services they claim is with an insurance company that i never used. i sent an email in March as well as one of their techs added an email to their system stating that i do not have ***** insurance; never have.
on july 3rd, i spent my time and gas to get a draw and was told that i need to pay a bill before i can get services and that the bill had been paid by insurance. It's just a quirk that their system shows ***** instead of blue shield. this is quest's system and you can't fraudulently add an insurance provider i know nothing of and claim that i owe money to your company and that the mistake is a quirk. that's called fraud. all other bills have been sent to the correct insurance company before and after this 2024 date. the bill is **********. if i am sent to collections for this i will sue quest as i have worked very hard on my credit rating. all other bills have been paid. this is entirely quest's fault and issue.Business Response

Quest Diagnostics made a billing code error which resulted in my card being charged ****** back in Nov 2024.They did not reach out to my physician's office for clarification instead my physician's admin ended up contacting them in Dec 2024. I contacted Quest and they advised that they would rectify (Dec 4).Jan 8, 2025 - my insurance company contacted Quest and informed them that I was owed a refund as the charges were covered. I contacted Quest Jan 24, Feb 6, Apr 14, May 22, last date being June 13 (representative ********).I was told by each representative that I would receive payment within 3 to 5 weeks after calling, which NEVER happened.I would appreciate the BBB's assistance as this has dragged on for far too long.Thank you-Business Response

Dear ****** *******,
T**** you for contacting Quest Diagnostics regarding your refund.
I am sorry that the billing department has failed to get you your refund. Please know that I have requested a rushed check refund in the amount of $100.00. The check will take approximately 2-3 weeks to be received.
Again, I am sorry for the time and effort you have spent on having your concerns resolved.

On April 17, 2025, I was denied medically necessary service and escorted out of the Quest Diagnostics lab facility by the lab technician after providing all necessary documentation including an active insurance card and a lab requisition. The technician did this because I did not provide a credit card and asked to be billed once my insurance was charged.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:The response from the organization asks for the address of the location so I am providing more details. The location where this happened was: **********************************************************************. The employee was ******** Z, and she was simply following the procedure.
I would like confirmation that this procedure will either change or that this is not the procedure. Patients should not be denied medically necessary care when they have provided active insurance cards. I did not provide a credit card because the estimate that was provided to me was wrong. I have no copays for lab work but the estimate stated $25. I asked to be billed as needed after insurance had been charged and instead I was denied care and escorted out of the office.

Re: Claim #**********, Date of Service: 3/17/2025 This claim was initially denied by my insurance as non-covered, and part of the associated charges were billed to my credit card by Quest. However, the claim has since been reprocessed and fully paid by my insurance provider on 6/6/2025, with zero patient responsibility.Despite multiple attempts to inform Quest via the online contact form, the updated insurance payment has not been reflected in your system. My responsibility has not been adjusted, nor have I received a refund for the amount charged to my credit card. I keep getting bills from Quest for this DOS.For privacy reasons, I am not attaching the *** or other documents containing PHI, but I can provide them upon request through a secure method.Business Response

July 17, 2024 when my son had labs drawn at a Quest diagnostics here in *******. I've used my work insurance with Cigna Allegiance. All lab results came back and when the first bill came, I've seen that there is a lab named "UNLISTED SPECIAL SERV/REPORT - CPT code *****" amounting to $89.04 that my *************** did not pay because the reason was "UNLISTED", it has no particular name/procedure on the explanation of benefits of the lab work. Somebody from that lab, she cannot find the specific name of the lab order on their lists, so she entered it as "UNLISTED". So my insurance is not paying this since & Quest has the audacity to charged it to me. I've complained to my *************** **** we did a 3 way phone call involving me, quest diagnostics *** for lab bill and Cigna advisor. The Quest *** said that they will look at the charges, no need to pay on my part and will bill later when they have the answer on why it was entered as "UNLISTED special Service/***ort". Cigna Explanation of Benefits reference code I2289 - please submit with office notes. This is for quest to submit to them what is needed. Then this May 21, 2025, I received the same bill with the UNLISTED special serv/***ort for $89.04, still not resolved and still charge on me. I have called Cigna advisors so they can call Quest on my behalf about how to resolve this today or this year. I'm sure my *************** will cover this particular lab in question had Quest only entered the lab name properly. I'm a Nurse working in a hospital, and I know if you cannot find a particular lab name or procedure name, there is a way to enter it properly. So I need help on this Quest bogus billing of lab work that needs to be straightened out so my *************** can pay them properly.Business Response

They continue to send me bills for the incorrect amount requesting I pay an amount that has not been reduced by insurance coverage. Ive had to call multiple times and they tell me to talk to my insurance and then insurance tells me to talk to Quest Diagnostic because insurance approved the claims.
