Billing Issues
Status:
Resolved
The complainant verified the issue was resolved to their satisfaction.
Both myself and the owner of the company I work for paid a very large bill to Quest Diagnostics via credit cards. My company paid the bill without me knowing on the same day I did. I am owed a credit from quest diagnostics. I have repeatedly called them within the last three months and no one is helping me get the credit I am due. Its a substantial amount almost $3000. When I call the customer ********************** number on the bill that I paid, they tell me a supervisor will call me back and they never do. Horrible customer ********************** and no one helping me get a credit due to me. I tried to reverse my payment with my credit card company but they declined due to insufficient records of communication with quest diagnostics. All I can do is call them on their customer ********************** number! With no assistance provided. Please help its a very large amount of money for me. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. ********* ******

This company has repeatedly treated me like I am stupid, cut me off, interrupted, refused to help, and collected $90+ on an order that they did not provide and are not helping me reschedule. This is absolutely terrible customer **********************. I called the customer ********************** number after being treated humiliatingly in front of others when I was in the seat to have blood drawn, called for help and left a detailed voice mail requesting follow up and help rescheduling, and never heard back-went to their help section on the companys website today for further help and explained all of this, just to be completely shut down. This company is slimy and does not care about people as humans, just as numbers. As long as they get money, they clearly dont care what you have to say or need. Do NOT use Quest Diagnostics, they are trashy and you can be treated better elsewhere. This page wont allow me to upload the screen shots I have of the entire conversation with the live agent today, but Im happy to email them to anyone who would like to see the disrespect and incompetency on THEIR end.

Dear ******* ********,

Thank you for contacting Quest Diagnostics regarding your recent date of service. Our goal is to differentiate ourselves with unsurpassed customer ********************** and unparalleled laboratory testing.

We do apologize for this happening, your physician that ordered the testing was notified that the testing was not able to be done. All the tests were cancelled, and you were not charged. Please know this is not our standard quality of care.

It is in the best interest of the patient to speak with their ordering physician. The ordering physician can make the medical determination on if you need to return to perform the testing.

Should your physician want the testing done again, they will need to provide a new order. We encourage you to make an appointment if you are going to return.

I appreciate the opportunity to respond to your concerns.

Sincerely,

Dear ****** *******,
Thank you for contacting Quest Diagnostics regarding your September 13, 2024, visit to our ******************************* service center. I apologize for any inconvenience you experienced. Our goal is to differentiate ourselves with unsurpassed customer ********************** and unparalleled laboratory testing.

Please be assured that we take patient contacts very seriously. It is the policy of Quest Diagnostics to thoroughly investigate each complaint and to implement any appropriate or corrective action when an area is identified as needing improvement or an employee in need of counsel, coaching, re-education, or re-training.
Please also know that at the time of service, the phlebotomists must verify demographics as well as insurance information before performing the draw. At the time of service, if a due balance populates from a previous date of service, we try to collect the payment. At times, there may be an estimated patient responsibility for the testing being performed that day, and the phlebotomist will ask the patient for a card for the pre-authorization.

Hearing from our customers helps us to ensure that we provide excellent customer ********************** as ********************* are the center of everything we do. Thank you for your feedback, I can assure you that it was used to improve the customer experience at the collections site.

As a valued customer, we hope you will continue to use Quest Diagnostics in the future.

Sincerely,

On 09-18-2024 I had to sit at quest diagnostics in ********* ********** for hours for a 2 minute blood draw. I told them that my doctor had scheduled a standing order for a blood draw because timing for me is an issue as I have to drive 35 minutes to get to ********* Quest Diagnostics. They advertise that walk-ins are welcome but I was informed after I arrived that scheduled appointments have priority and I would be seen if they could fit me in well, if their appointments are booked all day, when the h*** do I get in? Wait for 8 hours for a 2 minute blood draw? This is the most poorly ran business I have ever encountered. End result: I left without my required blood draw which was needed as I was hospitalized when I was out of the country. The sad part- I got better care and a blood draw in a third world country within 10 minutes of arriving at their medical center but I cant get a needed blood draw from Quest Diagnostics even though they advertise walk-ins are welcome. I rate this business -3 stars! I will not be getting my blood draw from here any longer. I advise all people to go somewhere else for a blood draw.

I was a bone marrow transplant patient at ******************************* Hospital last summer. QUEST LABS required me to pay two lab bills done in January/ February 2024, stating that my insurance wouldn't pay it. The Stanford Director of Transplant Services contacted my ******* *** sent Quest the corrected code. I was told by Quest, about 2 weeks ago, that the code was accepted, and I would receive my reimbursement in 10 - 12 business days. However, when I called them today to doublecheck on it, (as I still haven't received it), Quest now told me that it will take 30 - 60 calendar days to receive it! Meanwhile, Quest sits with my money, which should be sent to me in a timely manner. In today's world of technology, they most likely just have to push a button. Instead they are holding my money for no reason. Thank you for your time!

They’ve done so months ago and I misplaced the address to follow up. I’ve never heard back and bills are piling up.

Her arm went numb, pale, loss feeling and cold within 30min of visiting quest. Her school sent her to the ER. Symptoms returned less than 24 hrs later and she needed to return there along with following up with a neurologist. I have multiple bills totaling $3,923.92.

This is the letter that I am drafting: **Subject: Complaint Regarding Quest Diagnostics Billing Practices** Dear Quest Diagnostics, I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with your company's billing practices. I have experienced significant frustration and inconvenience due to inaccurate and misleading billing statements. On May 10, 2024, I received a bill (number *********** for a procedure performed on April 22, 2024. I promptly paid the full amount of $107.79 on May 28, 2024, via financial institution bill payment. The bank check was cleared on June 7, 2024. Despite this, I received another bill dated June 14, 2024, stating that I owed the May 10th bill. I contacted Quest Diagnostics on June 20th to inquire about this discrepancy. The representative, Desiree, acknowledged that there was a mistake but could not provide a clear explanation. To my further dismay, I have now received a third and fourth letter (July 14 and August 29) from Quest Diagnostics, threatening to take this matter to a collection agency and negatively impact my credit score. This is completely unacceptable, especially considering my repeated attempts to resolve this issue. I am deeply troubled by Quest Diagnostics' persistent harassment and improper business practices. This behavior constitutes a form of extortion and is a clear violation of my consumer rights. I demand that Quest Diagnostics immediately correct this error, cease all harassment, and provide me with a written confirmation that this matter is resolved. If Quest Diagnostics fails to take appropriate action, I will have no choice but to pursue legal remedies, including potential class action litigation. Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter. Sincerely, Frustrated paid customer
