Quest & Lab Corp
By using Quest Diagnostics or LabCorp, you will pay the least amount of coinsurance (10%), after deductible, for lab services. Since lab services are subject to deductible and coinsurance, by using a high quality and low-cost provider, your out-of-pocket costs will be reduced, saving you money without sacrificing quality.
Not only do you save money, but Penn State also pays less in provider charges when you use a Quest Diagnostics or LabCorp facility. Because the University is self-insured, any charges not paid for by employee deductibles and coinsurance are paid by Penn State.
