I am a retired former medical director with Quest Diagnostics. Depending upon which regional laboratory that performs the test, the usual turn around time (TAT) for test performance and results reporting to your health care provider who ordered the test is 24-48 hrs depending upon the integrity of the integrity/quality of the sample submitted for analysis and the/ integration of results reporting with the electronic health record platform used by the practice/health care system. You may also access your test results more rapidly by establishing a free MyQuest personal account. Your results are generally reported as soon as they are available.

I get my blood drawn at UCI lab in Irvine. I get most of my results within few hours. Bu for Ultrasensitive PSA, they FedEx the sample to a lab in Salt Lake City. I called them once and they told me it takes 24 to 48 hours for the results unless they have to repeat the test for some reason.
If I can wait for 3 months to get the blood drawn, few more days to get the results is no problem for me! I only called the lab out of curiosity and also to check if my blood sample actually got there.
