Effective November 19, 2025

Corewell Health Laboratory is transitioning to Quest Diagnostics as our primary reference testing laboratory.

  • New LAB Numbers: All tests will receive new LAB numbers, which must be updated in your EMR compendium if interfaced.
  • Collection Devices: Some tests may require different collection devices.

    • November 19, 2025: Focus on tests currently referred to ARUP.
    • December 17, 2025: Focus on tests currently referred to Mayo Clinic Labs.
