Diagnostic Lab Hospital Channel Revenue Mix measures the share of Quest Diagnostics net revenue generated through hospital laboratory services.

Quest Diagnostics reported 18% of net revenues from the hospital channel in 2025.

Physician revenue was nearly four times hospital revenue by mix

Physician laboratory services represented 71% of net revenues.

The 71% physician share was approximately 3.9 times the 18% hospital share, and the two channels together represented 89% of net revenues.

Hospital channel is a customer-source measure

The channel identifies where laboratory demand originates, not who ultimately pays the claim.

Use Diagnostic Lab Physician Channel Revenue Mix to compare customer-source concentration on the same basis.

Channel mix is not hospital market share

The 18% figure does not measure the share of all U.S. hospital testing performed by Quest, nor does it isolate inpatient testing.

It is Quest's own revenue mix.
