Quest Diagnostics, Aetna's national preferred laboratory, now has an Ithaca location.

Aetna members generally have higher out of pocket costs for lab testing when they use a non-preferred, hospital based lab, or out of network lab.  You can now have your blood  work, ranging from routine to complex, performed at Quest Diagnostics.

Using Quest Diagnostics, Aetna's preferred lab, whether you are enrolled in IC's POS II plan or the High Deductible Health plan, can reduce your out of pocket costs. See below for an example of cost savings.
