Exhibit 10.33


                       LabOne Annual Incentive Plan

The Annual Incentive Plan is designed to motivate and reward the 
accomplishment of targeted operating results.  Prior to the beginning of 
each fiscal year, the Committee establishes an earnings per share goal 
under the Plan based upon the Committee's judgment of reasonable earnings 
per share growth over the previous fiscal year.  No incentive payments are 
made if the minimum net earnings threshold is not met.  The size of the 
incentive pool increases pursuant to a formula established by the Committee 
as net earnings increase over the minimum threshold.  The incentive pool is 
distributed in cash ratably to designated officers and managers at year end 
according to a pre-established weighting.  The weighting is based upon 
senior management's subjective evaluations of each individual's potential 
contribution to the Company's financial and strategic goals for the year, 
and is reviewed and approved by the Committee.
