Quest Diagnostics, Inc., Clinical Pathology Laboratory (CPL) and Lab Corp, Inc. are the preferred outpatient clinical reference laboratory providers for Blue Cross Medicare Advantage PPO members.

Note:This arrangement excludes lab services provided during emergency room visits, inpatient admissions and outpatient day surgeries (hospital and free standing ambulatory surgery centers).

As previously indicated, if lab services are performed at the participating physician's or other professional provider's office, the physician or professional provider may bill for the lab services.
