Lab Testing Consent

Last updated: June 1, 2026

By placing an order, you read and agree to the following.

1. Consent to testing

You are choosing, on your own, to order the lab tests you selected. You consent to having your blood drawn at Quest and to having the selected tests performed on your sample. You understand that to make this lawful, your lab order is authorized through a licensed physician network arranged by our lab-ordering partner, and that this authorization does not make you that physician's patient and does not give you a medical evaluation, advice, or care.

2. Results are not a diagnosis and not medical advice

Your results are raw lab data. They are not a diagnosis. They are not medical advice. No one at Dirt Cheap Labs reviews your results with you, interprets them for you, or tells you what to do. A result that is flagged high, low, or abnormal does not by itself mean you have or do not have any condition.

3. Talk to a doctor about your results

We strongly recommend that you share your results with a licensed physician or other qualified healthcare provider who knows your history and can interpret them in the context of your health. Do not start, stop, or change any medication, supplement, or treatment based on these results alone. If you have a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Do not wait on a lab result.

4. No physician-patient relationship

Using the Service does not create a physician-patient relationship between you and Dirt Cheap Labs or between you and the physician who authorizes your lab order. That physician's role is limited to authorizing the order so the lab can run it. They do not examine you, advise you, or treat you.

5. Limits of self-ordered testing

Self-ordered lab testing has limits. You choose your own tests, so you may order tests you do not need or skip tests you do need. A single set of results is a snapshot in time and can be affected by things like fasting, hydration, recent exercise, medications, and timing. Lab tests can produce false positives and false negatives. Results are most useful when interpreted by a clinician who knows your full history. You accept these limits when you order.

6. State availability

Self-ordered lab testing is available only where direct-to-consumer lab testing is permitted, and it cannot be fulfilled in some states. If you live in a state that restricts it, we may not be able to serve you, and Quest may not process your draw.

7. Your acknowledgment

By placing an order you confirm that you are 18 or older, that you have read and understood this consent, and that you are ordering these tests for yourself, voluntarily, with this understanding.
