QUEST DIAGNOSTICS INC - SC 13D - GENERAL STATEMENT
OF BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP                                    DATE FILED: 8/25/1999
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Item 1.        Security and Issuer.

               This Schedule 13D relates to common stock, no par value ("Common
Stock") of MedPlus, Inc., an Ohio corporation ("MedPlus"). The address of
MedPlus' principal executive office is 8805 Governor's Hill Drive, Suite 100,
Cincinnati, OH 45249.


Item 2.        Identity and Background.

      This statement is filed by Quest Diagnostics Ventures LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company ("QDV"), and by Quest Diagnostics Incorporated, a
Delaware corporation ("Quest Diagnostics") (collectively, the "Reporting
Persons"). QDV is a wholly owned subsidiary of Quest Diagnostics.

      Quest Diagnostics, together with its subsidiaries, is the nation's leading
provider of diagnostic testing, information and services.

      The address of the principal executive office of QDV and Quest Diagnostics
is One Malcolm Avenue, Teterboro, NJ 07608.

      Set forth in Schedule I to this Schedule 13D ("Schedule I") are the names,
business address and present principal occupation or employment of each
executive officer and manager of QDV and each executive officer and director of
Quest Diagnostics. Each of such persons is a citizen of the United States.

       During the last five years, neither the Reporting Persons nor,
to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons
listed on Schedule I have been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding
traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

      During the last five years, neither the Reporting Persons nor, to the
best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons listed on Schedule
I has been a party to any civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body
of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject
to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or
prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or State securities
laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.        Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

       The aggregate purchase price of the 383,693 shares of Common Stock
purchased by QDV on June 19, 2000 was $2,000,000. The funds were provided from
QDV's working capital previously contributed by Quest Diagnostics to QDV. QDV
has sufficient working capital available to purchase additional shares of Common
Stock as contemplated by Item 4.

Item 4.        Purpose of Transaction.

        On June 19, 2000, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock
Purchase Agreement") between QDV and Richard Mahoney, the Chief Executive
Officer of MedPlus, QDV purchased 100,000 shares of Common Stock for $521,250
in cash. Also on June 19, 2000, pursuant to a Stock Subscription Agreement
(the "Subscription Agreement") between MedPlus and QDV, QDV purchased 283,693
shares of Common Stock directly from MedPlus for $1,478,750; MedPlus issued to
QDV a warrant described below (the "Warrant"); and QDV agreed to purchase an
additional 1,534,772 shares of Common Stock for $5.2125 per share (or
approximately $8 million), subject to certain conditions described below.
Under the Warrant, QDV has the right, subject to approval by the stockholders
of MedPlus as required by Section 1701.831 of the Ohio Revised Code of the
acquisition by QDV of more than 20% of MedPlus' outstanding capital stock, to
purchase 2,884,513 shares of Common Stock for $5.73 per share. The Warrant
expires on December 19, 2001, subject to earlier termination under certain
limited conditions. In the event that the stockholders of MedPlus do not
approve the acquisition by QDV of more than 20% of MedPlus' outstanding
capital stock, QDV can only purchase 192,547 shares of Common Stock pursuant
to the Warrant. The exercise price of, and the number of shares that can be
purchased under, the Warrant are also subject to certain anti-dilution
adjustments. The obligation of QDV to purchase the 1,534,772 shares is
subject to the conditions (which can be waived


                                                                          PAGE 4

QUEST DIAGNOSTICS INC - SC 13D - GENERAL STATEMENT
OF BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP                                    DATE FILED: 8/25/1999
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

by QDV) that (a) no material adverse change shall have occurred
with respect to MedPlus and (b) the stockholders of MedPlus shall have approved
the acquisition by QDV of more than 20% of the outstanding capital stock of
MedPlus pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and Warrant.

      Under the Subscription Agreement, MedPlus agreed to use its best efforts
to elect a designee of QDV to the Board of Directors of MedPlus as long as QDV
owns at least 10% of the outstanding Common Stock. QDV has nominated Kenneth
Freeman, Chief Executive Officer of QDV and of Quest Diagnostics, as QDV's
nominee for director on MedPlus' Board of Directors.

      Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, for a five-year period ending on
June 19, 2005, QDV has agreed not to purchase any shares of Common Stock from
any person other than MedPlus without the prior written consent of MedPlus'
Board of Directors.

      The purchases of Common Stock by QDV under the Stock Purchase Agreement,
the Subscription Agreement and the Warrant are for investment purposes and
are not (and will not be) registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
However, QDV has, together with certain existing stockholders of MedPlus,
registration rights under an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement
that was executed by QDV and MedPlus on June 19, 2000. There are no
restrictions on transfer of the Common Stock owned by QDV other than
restrictions arising under applicable securities laws.

      MedPlus has scheduled a meeting of its shareholders on July 25, 2000 to
seek approval of (a) the acquisition by QDV of more than 20% of the outstanding
capital stock, and (b) an amendment of MedPlus' certificate of incorporation
increasing MedPlus' authorized Common Stock from 15 million to 25 million
shares. Mr. Mahoney has agreed to vote all shares of Common Stock that he is
legally entitled to vote in favor of permitting QDV to acquire in excess of 20%
of the outstanding capital stock. Mr. Mahoney has also agreed to vote his shares
of Common Stock in favor of Quest Diagnostics' nominee for director of MedPlus
as long as QDV owns at least 10% of the outstanding Common Stock.

      Also on June 19, 2000, Quest Diagnostics and MedPlus entered into a sales
and marketing agreement to jointly market MedPlus' ChartMaxx and E.Maxx patient
record systems. The ChartMaxx and E.Maxx systems support the creation and
management of an electronic patient record, by bringing together in one
patient-centric view information from various sources, including the physician's
records and laboratory and hospital data.

      The foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Stock
Subscription Agreement, the Warrant, the Stock Purchase Agreement, and the
Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, attached as Exhibits to this
Schedule 13D and incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.

      Other than as described above, QDV has no other plans or proposals that
relate to, or may result in, any of the matters described in Items 4(a)-(j) of
Schedule 13D.

Item 5.        Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

      As a result of the transaction described in Item 4, QDV beneficially owns
2,111,012 shares of Common Stock, of which it has purchased 383,693 shares and
has the right to purchase an additional 1,727,319 shares (including 192,547
shares on exercise of the Warrant) without approval of MedPlus' stockholders
This ownership interest represents approximately 25.6% of the 6,225,275
outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June 15, 2000, as reported
in MedPlus' quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended April 30,
2000, as adjusted to reflect the issuance of the shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by QDV. This percentage assumes the purchase by QDV of only
192,547 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Warrant and does not give effect
to the conversion of MedPlus' convertible preferred stock, which is convertible
on a share-for-share basis. The percentage interest is 19.9% after giving effect
to the conversion of MedPlus' convertible preferred stock. Assuming approval by
the stockholders of MedPlus of the acquisition by QDV of more than 20% of the
outstanding capital stock of MedPlus, QDV would beneficially own approximately
44% of the outstanding Common Stock assuming exercise of the Warrant and without
giving effect to the conversion of


                                                                          PAGE 5

MedPlus' convertible preferred stock or the exercise of other outstanding
warrants and options to acquire Common Stock, or approximately 30% of the
outstanding Common Stock after giving effect to the conversion of MedPlus'
convertible preferred stock and the exercise of all outstanding warrants and
options to acquire Common Stock.

      QDV does not have the right to vote the shares of Common Stock that it has
the right to acquire until it purchases such shares.

      Except as disclosed herein, QDV has not effected any transaction in the
Common Stock during the past 60 days.

               with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

      See Items 4 and 5 above.


Item 7.        Material to Be Filed as Exhibits.
