Yes, I've asked my insurance company and they're looking into this matter. Usually our insurance requires lab work done in same state as ordering physician. But since we use Quest which is nationwide, it depends on which location Quest is billing from, ie. Arizona vs California. If it's California(where I live) Quest is in-network statewide but just not sure if it's also in-network in Az which is something our insurance has to find out. I was just wondering if anyone else here in this forum has run into same issue and if it's standard policy for insurance to require blood draw in same state as ordering provider.

@caretakermom I am not a transplant recipient but I have used Quest for many years. When I moved from California to Oregon almost 4 years ago, they had to do some masterful software working behind the scenes to correlate everything between the two states. In the end, it was not a problem, and my health insurance had no glitches. Hope this helps you in some way, and eases your mind a bit. It's not fun to be left wondering what might happen, and good for you for looking into it, so you don't get a "surprise" billing!
