Quest Sensitive E2 test questions (my local labcorp closed, looking for options).

[lowtdunce]

My nearest Labcorp closed so I have double the drive time to the next nearest lab. I can maybe get testing done at my doctor's office which has a quest lab. My question is what is the Quest equivalent for the labcorp sensitive E2 test code 140244?


Secondly, can one expect the results from the quest and labcorp sensitive tests to be fairly close to one another or would switching to Quest mean I need to find my range within their test?

If you need repeatability the two labs are not the same though you would think they are or should be, they have different ranges for the Ultra Sensitive...I never mix my labs.

Get this, cost to run the test at my local quest lab is $25 draw fee and $250 to process it. ROBBERY compared to discounted labs/labcorp. What a joke. For that cost I can make the longer drive 5-6 times.

Is there anything out there like Discounted Labs that uses quest labs?

I have insurance that picks up 100% at Quest for me but I see the bills and it's thousands of dollars...thousands. Plural. For really basic stuff you can get on discounted for a few hundred if it's that much.

I was going to suggest private MD labs though I remember using that one with Lab Corp not sure if there's a either/or option
