Refer Sharp Health Plan members to in-network labs
Laboratory expenses are one of the biggest contributors to a patient’s healthcare costs. That’s why Magellan* and our health plan client, Sharp Health Plan, ask you to refer members to an in-network provider.
Sharp Health Plan members who require outpatient lab work associated with mental health and/or substance use disorder treatment must be referred to a lab contracted directly with their health plan.
In-network labs include:
- Laboratory Corporation of America (Labcorp)
- Pacific Rim Pathology
- Quest Diagnostics
Questions?
If you or a Sharp Health Plan member has any questions about coverage for outpatient lab services associated with their mental health and/or substance use disorder treatment, contact Sharp Health Plan Customer Care at 1-858-499-8200. Note: All genetic and pharmacogenetic testing requires prior authorization from Sharp Health Plan.
