Patient access forms can be submitted as follows: If you need a form, you can download a PDF copy of the Patient Request to Access or to Disclose Protected Health Information (PHI) (Access Form) in English or Spanish. If you need to obtain a "paper" copy of a lab test result, you can submit a written request using any patient access form. Note: Certain historical lab test results may not be available in electronic format in MyQuest. (If you live in the state of Maryland, you cannot retrieve your results electronically at this time. If you don't see this option, your account is up to date and you don't have any additional electronic lab results. If you want access to your historical results dating back to January 1, 2010, go to the Results page, scroll to the bottom of your results list, and tap or click the Find my historical Quest results link (located under Looking for your historical lab test results?).
Once your identity is confirmed, results will start appearing in your account within 24 hours, but it may take up to a full week for your MyQuest account to populate with results for all of your tests that were performed within the last year. Note: If you change your personal information or email address, you will need to reverify your identity if you want to continue to receive and view your lab test results. Additionally, Quest Diagnostics does not share any protected health information (PHI) with the identity verification service.
No private records or credit data were used, nor does Quest Diagnostics have access to or save this information during any point in the verification process. Different questions are presented on each attempt so that someone can’t read questions, look up answers, then come back and try again. This is why the questions are different than those used to reset a password. The questions were designed based on that compiled data to generate random questions that only an individual can answer (to prevent guessing) things like the color of a car you owned some years ago, or the address of a town you lived in. The data used comes from a large compilation of public records and other commercially available data sources.
This is a necessary step in protecting sensitive healthcare information. The purpose of KBA is to verify the identity of an individual in order to grant the appropriate access to healthcare records in a situation where they are not physically present. Their data quality and question-generation algorithms are the industry gold standard. Our KBA solution is provided by LexisNexis®, a global leader in online security. To protect your privacy and the integrity of your health record within MyQuest, Quest Diagnostics uses a technology called knowledge-based authentication (KBA) to verify that a patient is who they say they are. Otherwise, results will be available within 2–5 days of your visit to a Quest Patient Service Center.Ĭreate a MyQuest account quick reference guide If you had lab tests done at Quest Diagnostics within the last year, those lab results will be available in MyQuest within 24 hours.
