Can HCG Results Vary If Its Done In Different Places As 5 Weeks Pregnant?

Hello,
I am about 5 weeks pregnant. I had an HCG test earlier this week (569) at my ob's hospital and was planning on having my follow-up HCG test at Quest because it's 30 mins closer to me and faster overall, which is especially important because I have a toddler. The nurse at my ob's office told me that they won't be able to compare the results if I go to Quest. I am wondering why this would be the case.
Thanks, Madeleine
