Lab Services for CareFirst HMO and PPO Members

March 09, 2012 - We know how important it is to make proper care decisions and recommendations for your patients, our members. It is our goal to provide you with information and resources to help supplement your clinical decision-making and achieve the goals of improving quality and reducing costs of health care.

Did you know that many routine laboratory tests can cost up to six times more when performed in an outpatient hospital lab?

You can save 83% for your patients by referring them to a national freestanding lab.

LabCorp and Quest Diagnostics, the national laboratories for CareFirst, are a cost-effective choice when referring patients.

Members can easily request an appointment online with LabCorp* at www.labcorp.com or with Quest Diagnostics at www.questdiagnostics.com.

*LabCorp is the only network national lab that BlueChoice (HMO) members can use. Please do not refer HMO members to Quest Diagnostics.
