Summary
EmblemHealth is reminding providers to refer members to participating laboratories only, including Quest Diagnostics and Labcorp. Providers must use the lab list at emblemhealth.com/lablist to ensure proper network participation.
Action Required
Immediately: Verify all laboratory referrals use EmblemHealth participating labs from emblemhealth.com/lablist. Staff must establish accounts with Quest Diagnostics (866-697-8378) or Labcorp (888-522-2677 or nenewaccounts@labcorp.com) if not already contracted. Update referral workflows to check lab participation status before ordering tests to avoid member balance billing.
