I often need to make several appointments (sometimes daily or weekly). I like the fact that I can make appointments online. Btw, I’m director of a nonprofit medical research institute - and am writing this review to congratulate Quest and to help you help yourself by looking for trends. So help your doctor, by looking to see if any of your lab values show a trend (for better or for worse) instead of waiting until a value is outside the reference range. The AMA, the CDC, the NIH - everyone is now recognizing that YOU are better off when *participating* in your healthcare. Doctors usually scan your most recent lab report, only looking for an H or L - few doctors will also study your last three or four lab reports - they will miss a trend. A trend are much more meaningful than a simple “H” or “L” (high or low). I just noticed a somewhat hidden feature: tap on any value and you’ll get a graph of all your history at Quest - this helps you to detect a trend, if your lab tests have been done by Quest. We remain committed to our system’s security, data privacy, and the protection of personal information.QUEST has does an excellent job reporting lab results, with useful information about the meaning of the values. We have also advised law enforcement of this incident. "We hired a third-party external forensics firm to investigate any potential security breach in our systems, migrated our web payments portal services to a third-party vendor, and retained additional experts to advise on, and implement, steps to increase our systems’ security.

In a statement later Monday, the firm representing the American Medical Collection System said it was investigating the "data incident." "Quest Diagnostics takes this matter very seriously and is committed to the privacy and security of patients’ personal, medical and financial information," the company added in the filing. The company said it has not received "detailed or complete" information from AMCA about the breach yet.ĭog Escaped at Newark Airport, Got Lost For Over a Month - But Miraculously Was Found Quest said it was told that as of May 31, information on roughly 11.9 million of its patients was stored on the affected AMCA system.

"(The) information on AMCA’s affected system included financial information (e.g., credit card numbers and bank account information), medical information and other personal information (e.g., Social Security Numbers)," Quest said in the filing. 1, 2018, and March 30, 2019, that someone had unauthorized access to the systems of AMCA, a billing collections vendor.
