New year, new labs: LabCorp and Quest Diagnostics now in‑network for Georgia plans

As we enter the new year 2025, care providers have the opportunity to initiate member screenings and lab work without delay. To help detect and manage health issues in a timely manner, setting a proactive course for member wellness throughout the year.

Even broader access for members and more options for care providers

We are pleased to inform you that starting January 1, 2025, both our national preferred providers, LabCorp and Quest Diagnostics are in‑network providers for our Commercial HMO/POS plans in Georgia. Not only does this expansion broaden the spectrum of diagnostic options available, but it also enhances convenience for members through increased specimen draw locations.

By expanding our network, members and care providers will benefit from:

  • Increased convenient testing locations and appointment scheduling: Online appointment scheduling, conveniently located patient service centers, and timely access to results.
  • Expanded testing options including specialty testing expertise: Broad menu of routine and esoteric tests including molecular, genetic, and genomic testing.
  • Streamlined workflow and enhanced efficiency: Easy to use lab management services for ordering tests and supplies, scheduling a specimen pickup, and tracking order status.

Care providers are encouraged to communicate this update to their patients and leverage the expanded network for efficient and effective care delivery. Ensuring early and routine screenings aligns with our commitment to comprehensive, preventive healthcare, contributing to better health outcomes for all.

We are committed to helping patients more easily access the care they need. You can find our participating laboratories — including LabCorp and Quest Diagnostics — in our online provider directory at Find Care.
