May 2024 UPDATE
I had my blood drawn again this morning, and I am happy to say that the check-in process has improved exponentially. This time, after checking in (in the parking lot) by clicking the link in the text I received, I was called in less than 10 seconds after walking in the door!

The actual collection of my blood for testing went fine - no problems at all, but the check-in process is certainly one of the most inefficient processes I've ever encountered.
I was able to schedule my appointment online (great!), and the online process even took my insurance information to speed things up once I arrived (also great!).
It was a different story, however once I arrived. Clicking the check-in link provided in the text I received did nothing. While checking in at the kiosk, I had to retrieve my insurance card AGAIN and have the kiosk scan it (along with my license).
I was called in almost immediately after checking in at the kiosk (great!), told to have a seat, and then asked FOR MY INSURANCE CARD AND ID once again! Seriously, this is the THIRD TIME I've retrieved my insurance card for this visit. Then, to add insult to injury, I had to sit and wait while the technician TYPED INFORMATION FROM MY INSURANCE CARD INTO THE COMPUTER. It gets even better! After typing the info from my card, she SCANNED IT into the PC. I was ready to scream! LOL!
If anyone at Quest Corporate is reading this, do yourselves a favor and hire a Process Improvement Analyst. I'm sure what I described is not the only inefficiency you folks have. Eliminate that waste and you'll improve the bottom line, and more importantly, improve client satisfaction.
