# Order lab tests in New Jersey

> Order online, get physician authorization in minutes, and walk into any BioReference Laboratories location in New Jersey — Newark, Jersey City, Paterson and statewide — no appointment needed at most sites. Results post in 1–3 business days; tests start at $14.99 with HSA/FSA accepted and no insurance or doctor's visit required.

## Lab options in New Jersey

Orders placed from New Jersey are processed through **BioReference Laboratories**, a CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited national reference laboratory. New Jersey licensing rules route self-ordered tests to BioReference rather than Quest or Labcorp; pricing and the results portal are the same, only the draw site changes. Some tests carry a BioReference-specific price, shown on each test page.

New Jersey lab orders route through BioReference Laboratories — the state requires direct-to-consumer orders to run through an in-state licensed lab, and BioReference is actually headquartered here (Elmwood Park), with one of the densest patient service center networks in North Jersey. Practical upside: many national DTC lab services simply don't serve New Jersey at all, while TestWell routes automatically — and on many tests the BioReference price is lower than the standard rate, which checkout applies without you doing anything. Collection is walk-in at BioReference centers; at-home phlebotomy isn't currently offered on the New Jersey route.

**Major cities served:** Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Elizabeth, Edison.

## New Jersey questions

### Why does my New Jersey order go to BioReference instead of Quest or Labcorp?

New Jersey requires consumer-initiated lab orders to route through an in-state licensed laboratory, so TestWell automatically sends NJ orders to BioReference — a CLIA-certified national lab headquartered in Elmwood Park, NJ. Same physician review, same portal results; checkout handles the routing and applies BioReference pricing automatically.

### Where do I get my blood drawn in New Jersey?

At any BioReference patient service center — the network is densest in North Jersey (Bergen, Essex, Hudson counties) with coverage across the state. Your requisition arrives by email after physician approval; bring it with a photo ID. Walk-in only for now: at-home draws aren't offered on the NJ route.

## How it works in New Jersey

1. Choose tests or a panel at https://www.test-well.com/tests and check out (card, HSA or FSA).
2. A physician licensed for New Jersey reviews and authorizes the order — included in the price, usually within minutes.
3. Walk into any BioReference Laboratories location in New Jersey with the emailed requisition and a photo ID; most centers take walk-ins.
4. Results post to your secure TestWell portal in 1–3 business days with reference ranges and flags.
