The National Phlebotomy Providers Network is the premier mobile phlebotomy service in the nation. It is our mission to ensure that everyone has access to high-quality, affordable, and compassionate healthcare.
We believe in patient-centered care. We actively strive to ensure that our patients are able to reliably and consistently have access to the diagnostic and maintenance tests that are required to ensure their health, well-being, and longevity.
Reliable healthcare should be available to everyone that needs it, and we at the NPPN have made it our goal to fill the gap in the provider-patient chain.
Millions of Americans struggle with mobility, transportation, and caregiver problems that do not allow them to get consistent and reliable blood work done on a regular basis.
At-home and mobile phlebotomy services aim to fix this problem. By removing these common barriers to healthcare, we hope to help empower people to take charge of their health.
A mobile phlebotomist is a specialist that is trained to obtain blood, urine, stool, and other samples for diagnostic and maintenance purposes.
They are able to collect any at-home kits that your doctor or other healthcare providers provide and will collect them per the exact specifications required by the lab of your choice, or the lab that your insurance indicates.
Our mobile phlebotomists are held to the highest quality and safety standards in the industry today. They are trained in the most recent and effective HIPAA compliance methods and COVID-19 prevention methods as well.
In many ways, it may be safer to have a mobile phlebotomist come to you than for a patient to go to a lab to get their blood drawn.
For example, when patients have mobility issues and require the aid of a walking device such as a walker or a cane, it can be difficult, stressful, and at times dangerous for them to make their way to a lab for blood work.
This often causes patients to put off getting their testing done for months at a time, which is dangerous for their health and overall well-being. We want to remove this barrier to healthcare by having our mobile phlebotomists come to you.
Since we directly employ our phlebotomists, we are able to ensure that they are consistently up-to-date on all mandatory certifications, continued education, and special training.
Our phlebotomists are all fully trained in the most recent safety and quality measures including all COVID-19 prevention protocols, and they have access to the most state-of-the-art equipment required to perform their jobs successfully.
The best way to prepare for your appointment is to follow any instructions that your doctor may have given you. It is important to fast for the time period that they recommend, typically 8 hours, to ensure that your results are as accurate as possible.
We also recommend that you stay hydrated and drink plenty of water the day of and the day before your appointment. This will help make your veins easier to find and will make the process easy. It’s a good idea to have a snack ready for after your blood draw as well.
It is also important to have your ID, laboratory requisition form, and any necessary insurance information on hand as well as your phlebotomist will need to verify your identity before they draw your blood.
Setting up an appointment for your home blood draw is quick and easy. You can set up an appointment for yourself or on behalf of a patient or loved one. We only need a few pieces of information to schedule the appointment including:
Although we are actively working to partner with Medicare so that we can offer our services to those who need it the most, at this time Medicare does not cover home blood draws.
Our phlebotomists will be happy to provide you with a reimbursement form that you can submit to Medicare upon request.
For those with Medicare and no additional health insurance, there will be a flat fee of no more than $99 due at the time of service.
For many, the idea of getting in the car, driving across town, and waiting in line at a lab for hours to get your blood work done is not an exciting one.
With our mobile phlebotomy services, you no longer have to worry about the logistics of getting to the lab, and you no longer have to uncomfortably wait in line.
Our certified, compassionate phlebotomists will handle everything from ensuring your lab form is correct to make sure that your samples make it safely and securely to the lab of your choice. The only thing that you have to do is make the appointment and relax.
All nurses are trained in phlebotomy during their studies. It is rare, however, that you will find a nurse performing a blood draw outside of a hospital, and even in hospitals it is rare.
This is simply because nurses have so many other incredibly important responsibilities such as ensuring the proper medications are being taken, wound care, and general patient well-being to name a few.
It isn’t feasible to expect a nurse to perform your blood draw, even if they are available. As dedicated phlebotomists, we do this all day, every day. There’s no one better at it than us, and it is our goal to make the experience as easy and pleasant as possible. eo.
Most major lab companies such as Quest, Labcorp, etc. do not have their own mobile phlebotomy division. The NPPN has partnered with most major labs across the country, as well as many local labs, to help offer our patients a choice in who does their testing.
Because we independently work with so many of these companies, we can draw lab work for virtually any lab of your choosing or that your insurance dictates. In addition, our phlebotomists are trained in the specific collection methods that each lab requires.
At this time, Quest does not have any mobile phlebotomists, nor do they directly offer any at-home phlebotomy services. We have partnered with Quest to be their 3rd-party dedicated mobile phlebotomy service in the San Jose area..
LabCorp does not directly offer any mobile phlebotomy services. Instead, they utilize third-party mobile phlebotomy services like the NPPN to help their patients get their blood work done at home.
Every mobile phlebotomy service is different. At the NPPN we strive to partner with most major insurance providers so that there will be little to no out-of-pocket cost to the patient.
Unfortunately, not all insurance providers cover mobile phlebotomy services. In these cases, when a secondary insurance is not available, we charge a flat rate fee at the time of service of no more than $99.
Direct access tests are not legal in California, so a phlebotomist is not able to perform a blood draw or any other sample collection in San Jose without a laboratory requisition form or a doctor’s order.
Yes. Our services are available in most major metropolitan areas including San Jose. If you live on the outskirts of town, please contact our support staff when you make your appointment to ensure that we service your area.

These terms and conditions are provided by The National Phlebotomy Provider Network (“NPPN”) and fully describe the terms under which the services are provided by NPPN.
1. NPPN provides an independent medical and research specimen collection, processing, and delivery service. NPPN IS NOT a medical laboratory and does not conduct laboratory testing. NPPN IS NOT a partner or subsidiary of any medical laboratory.
2. Once specimens are delivered, NPPN has no control over the handling, processing, and testing of specimens, or reposting of those results to the prescribing practitioner. The laboratory is solely responsible for proper handling, processing, testing, and results reporting. NPPN is NOT responsible IF the laboratory fails to do any of the above properly or in a timely fashion.
3. While most common laboratory tests require the same or similar type of sample (whole blood, plasma, serum, urine, etc.) no matter what laboratory is performing the testing, every laboratory has its own specimen requirements for sample type, processing, and handling. While every effort is made to collect adequate and acceptable specimens, it is impossible to know the specific requirements for every test done by every laboratory. Furthermore, some laboratory tests cannot be collected in the field because the sample requires special handling that is impossible to perform outside a laboratory environment. In addition, some laboratory tests require the sample to undergo additional processing IN THE LABORATORY, as soon as it is delivered to the laboratory, which cannot be done in the field. Given these facts, there is a possibility that inadequate samples or no samples will be obtained. NPPN is NOT responsible [f the laboratory fails to perform any additional pre-analytical sample processing required after we deliver the samples to the laboratory.
4. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT NPPN ABOUT YOUR TEST RESULTS NPPN has no access to the test results. You should contact the practitioner who ordered the laboratory testing for you or the laboratory who is conducting the testing directly. However, you should be advised that most laboratories are prevented by law firms releasing results directly to patients.
5. NPPN specimen collection and delivery services are provided ONLY at the direction of and under specific order from a duly licensed medical practitioner authorized to prescribe and order medical diagnostic testing. You cannot request specimen collection services without a valid laboratory order from an authorized medical practitioner.
6. NPPN personnel cannot materially change or in any way alter the laboratory order provided by your prescribing practitioner. It is against the law for any medical care provider to change a practitioners order without express consent from the prescribing practitioner. Likewise, you cannot materially change or alter your prescribing practitioner’s laboratory order for you.
7. NPPN is NOT a medical practice and does NOT provide any medical diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, or any medical advice. We do NOT have any information relating to any treatment you are undergoing or any reasons for why samples are being collected. You should seek the advice of a licensed practitioner for any question about any symptom or condition you are experiencing. If you are experiencing a medical emergency you should call 911 immediately! Do not attempt to access emergency care through our service. If you are unsure of what type of care you need, please contact your personal physician. NPPN does not dispense or deliver medicine of any kind. NPPN cannot prescribe medication or evaluate the effectiveness of any medication you may be taking.

NPPN does NOT and will NOT provide services inside any vehicle. NPPN does NOT and will NOT provide services in any public location.
10. NPPN performs all services and functions in the ordinary course of business and during normal business hours. NPPN is a NON-EMERGENT service and should NOT be used for collection and delivery of STAT or UGENT laboratory orders. All services are scheduled in advance and therefore we cannot guarantee accommodation of requests for “same day” schedule changes. Expedited collection and/or delivery of any specimen is NOT possible unless scheduled in advance. Because travel is inherently unpredictable, we do not guarantee or warranty any specific delivery time.
11. Scheduling Policy: We recognize that your medical care is very important to you and we respect your desire for timely medical care. Generally, appointment scheduling is conducted on a first-come, first-serve basis. However, scheduling for some patients may be prioritized based on medical need. NPPN will attempt to contact you to schedule an appointment within 24-48 hours upon receipt of your request. We make every attempt to schedule your appointment at a time convenient for you but cannot guarantee any specific time or ongoing duration of availability.
12. We have a 48-hour cancellation policy. Appointments canceled without at least 48 hours’ notice will be charged a 50% cancellation fee for all services scheduled on that day. Appointments canceled at the time of service or “no shows” “vi ii be charged the full fee for services scheduled on that day.
13. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN THE SERVICES OF NPPN ARE PROVIDED ON AN
“AS IS, AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. NPPN AND ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, AND PARTNERS MAKE NO WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION, GUARANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, WHETHER IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANT ABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
14. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER NPPN NOR ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS OR PARTNERS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME STATES/JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO NPPN. IN SUCH STATES/JURISDICTIONS, NPPN’S LIABILITY AND THAT OF ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, AND PARTNERS WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
15. These terms constitute the entire understanding between you and NPPN and no amendment or modification of its terms shall be valid or binding unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of NPPN.
