Preparing for your Quest Lab appointment

Here's what to do before your appointment. If you haven't scheduled one yet, you can learn how to do it here.

1. Please remember to download your lab requisition before you visit Quest. You can print it, or bring a digital version.
   1. The requisition can be found within your SelfDecode account on the My Orders page. If you ordered your labs through a practitioner, they will send you the document.
   2. Your lab order will look like the image below. If you do not have this paperwork, please reach out to us or your practitioner before you go to Quest. 

2. Arrive Prepared!

• Wear a short-sleeve shirt or a shirt with sleeves that roll up easily.
• Bring ID that matches the information on the requisition.
• Fasting or other preparation may be required for some tests. Find special instructions by searching for your lab test here.
• Fasting means that you cannot eat or drink anything other than water 8-12 hours before your blood collection. 
• You will not have to pay anything at the lab as everything has been paid for through SelfDecode. The Quest testing location will know this because our account number is on the lab order.  
• When your results are ready, they will be uploaded to SelfDecode and we will email you to notify you of their arrival.
