Colon Cancer Screening Test (FIT) at Quest Diagnostics: test code, price, and how to order

Quest Health, Quest Diagnostics's own consumer site, lists the FIT Test at $79.00 (list price checked Oct 10, 2026). Through TestWell the same Quest Diagnostics draw is $59.99 plus one $6 lab processing fee — $65.99 all-in, $13.01 less for a single test, and the fee is per order, so adding tests widens the gap. Either way you walk into a Quest Diagnostics patient service center with a requisition — through TestWell a licensed physician authorizes the order, no doctor's visit needed.

Three ways to get a FIT Test at Quest Diagnostics

  1. With a doctor's order. Your clinician sends a requisition to Quest Diagnostics; the lab bills your insurance and your share depends on your plan and deductible. Ask for the Quest Diagnostics test code 11290 if you want the same test.
  2. On Quest Health. Quest Diagnostics's consumer site sells the FIT Test at $79.00 (list price, checked Oct 10, 2026); a physician network authorizes it and you draw at a Quest Diagnostics center. Check their checkout for any service fee.
  3. Through TestWell. $59.99 plus one $6 fee per order. A licensed physician in our network authorizes the order, the Quest Diagnostics requisition arrives by email (usually within minutes), you walk into any Quest Diagnostics patient service center, and results post to your portal in 3–5 business days. Add tests to the same draw without another fee.

How to walk into Quest Diagnostics with a TestWell order

  2. Open the emailed requisition on your phone (or print it) and bring a photo ID.
  3. Walk into any Quest Diagnostics patient service center; most take walk-ins, and an appointment on Quest Diagnostics's site shortens the wait.
