In the past, Grassroots Labs has been unable to offer lab testing to residents of NY, NJ, and RI because of state laws prohibiting this. Recently we have been informed that Quest Health is now offering testing to residents in these states. While we are working on adding this functionality to the Grassroots Labs platform, this does provide residents from those states an option for testing that is less expensive than getting an order from the primary care provider or urgent care and then going to the lab and self-paying or using insurance to get their labs.
A couple of points to note:
- Quest Health's Limited Test Menu - Currently Quest Health offers about 90 tests for purchase compared to Grassroots Labs 350+. That said, most routine testing for acute and chronic conditions is available at Quest Health.
- Costs are higher at Quest Health - Testing at Quest Health can be between 50-100% more expensive than at Grassroots Labs. That said, as written above, it is a more affordable option for residents in NY, NJ, or RI than going to the lab directly with your doctors order.
Residents from NY, NJ, and RI can now get testing through Quest Health's online lab marketplace.
