NY resident - can I book Quest outside of NY/NJ/RI via Goodlabs?
Hopefully this is a straightforward question. I've been having some trouble figuring out how to best go about getting tested outside of my home state of NY and it's horrific, braindead blood testing laws.
When checking out on goodlabs, I'm able to select a Quest lab that's in Connecticut. On the next page though, as shown in the attached pic, if I put in my actual home address in the "Your information" page it will tell me "This lab does not accept orders from New York or New Jersey."
As a workaround, it's easy to just put in a friend's address, and that gets me through to the payment page.
My questions are:
- Is there any problem or issue with doing this? For example -- does the address I enter here have to match my ID at the testing site? Or are there any other unforeseen issues this might cause?
- On the next and final payment page, given that all my credit cards have New York as my home address and zip code, will my payment be accepted? If not, is there a workaround for this that would allow me to book my test and get tested at a CT Quest Diagnostics lab?
I'm assuming it's totally legal for a NY resident to go get tested in another state, but if that's not correct, please correct me.
Thank you!
