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.
