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

Quest Diagnostics reported 71% of net revenues from the physician channel in 2025.

Physician and hospital channels together represented 89%

Hospital laboratory services contributed another 18%.

Together the two largest disclosed customer-source channels accounted for 89% of net revenues.

Physician mix was nearly four times hospital mix

Dividing 71% by 18% gives approximately 3.9 times.

Use Diagnostic Lab Hospital Channel Revenue Mix to compare the two channels on the same issuer basis.

Customer channel is not payer mix

A physician-ordered test may be paid by a commercial insurer, government program, client, or patient.

The 71% figure identifies demand origin, not who reimbursed Quest.
