We are the National Phlebotomy Providers Network. It is our goal to remove the most common barriers to healthcare that prevent people from receiving the diagnostic and maintenance care that they need to stay healthy.
For many, the process of going to a lab to get their blood work done is unnecessarily difficult. For those with limited mobility, severe medical conditions, or a lack of transportation, the process can become virtually impossible.
With our mobile phlebotomy services, we strive to fix this fundamental flaw in the healthcare chain.
You no longer have to worry about how you will get to a lab, and then wait in line for hours past your appointment time. Instead, use our at-home phlebotomy services to reduce the stress on you and your loved ones.
Our mobile phlebotomists will come to your office, home, managed care facility, or anywhere else that you need us at a time and date that works for you. They are able to draw any at-home testing kits or doctor’s orders and are able to collect any other sample types that your doctor may ask for.
Once your samples have been collected, they will securely package them and deliver them directly to the lab of your choice, or the one that your insurance dictates.
A mobile phlebotomist is the same as a regular phlebotomist, with one notable difference. They’re mobile! This means that instead of working out of only one location such as a lab or a doctor’s office, they travel to multiple locations throughout their day to make the process more convenient for their patients.
Yes. We directly employ our mobile phlebotomists, unlike many other companies that utilize third-party contractors. Because of this, we are able to ensure that our phlebotomists are up-to-date on all of their certifications, qualifications, and continued education requirements.
In addition, we provide regular training on the most current and effective safety and quality standards and HIPAA requirements as well as all current COVID-19 prevention measures.
Finally, our mobile phlebotomists have access to the highest quality state-of-the-art equipment necessary to perform their tasks safely, efficiently, and professionally.
Prior to your appointment, your doctor will provide you with specific instructions for your blood draw or other sample collection, and will provide you with the necessary collection equipment in the case of a urine or stool sample.
It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions thoroughly. They will typically recommend that you fast for a period of 8-12 hours depending on the tests that you are having done immediately before your appointment. This fasting period is important in order to get the most accurate results on your lab work.
Your doctor will usually tell you to continue taking your medications as normal, although they may recommend delaying some medications that are required to be taken with food until after your appointment.
Finally, we recommend that you drink plenty of water the night before and the day of your appointment so that you are well-hydrated for your blood draw. This helps to ensure that your experience will be easy.
Any nurse is trained and qualified to perform a blood draw, however, it is unlikely that a nurse will be the one to actually draw your blood in a hospital or managed care facility.
This is because nurses have many more important tasks that they are responsible for throughout their day, and they often have many patients that they are caring for simultaneously. They are responsible for managing medications, wound care, patient safety, and so much more.
Because of this, phlebotomists typically handle any blood draws.
On the day of your appointment, your phlebotomist will arrive and will ask to verify your identity and patient demographic information. You should have your ID and insurance information handy. Then they will review your doctor’s orders and will prepare any tubes that they will need for the draw.
Once they have explained the process to you, they will then use a tourniquet on your upper arm to help locate a suitable vein. They will then clean the area with an antiseptic solution before using a sterile, one-time-use needle to puncture the vein. You may feel a small pinch, but it should quickly fade.
They will then collect the tubes in order, one at a time. Once the tubes are collected, they will remove your tourniquet and needle and will apply pressure and a bandage to the draw site.
From there, they will label your tubes and give you any necessary instructions for the day. Typically you should expect to relax, hydrate, and have a snack after your appointment.
Your phlebotomist will then securely deliver your samples to your lab. You can typically expect to receive your results within 48-72 hours from your lab or doctor’s office.
Setting up an appointment with the NPPN is easy to do for yourself, a loved one, or a patient. All we need to set up the appointment are:
Unfortunately, at this time, Medicare does not pay for at-home blood draws. For those without a secondary insurance, there will be a fee of no more than $99 due at the time of service.
We have partnered with many insurance providers and lab testing facilities in the Miami area to provide our mobile phlebotomy services to as many patients as possible.
Quest does not have a dedicated mobile phlebotomy service and does not perform at-home blood draws. The NPPN is their dedicated partner in the Miami area for mobile phlebotomy.
Labcorp does not directly offer at-home blood draws. Instead, they utilize third-party companies like the NPPN to offer mobile phlebotomy to their patients.
The NPPN has partnered with many major insurance companies across the country to offer our services at an affordable cost. In many cases, our service will be covered at no cost to the patient.
Unfortunately, some insurance companies, such as Medicare, will not cover at-home blood draws. For these patients, we charge a flat fee of no more than $99.
Florida allows for limited direct access testing. This means that a patient does not need a doctor to be able to receive their lab results from a lab, and in some cases may be able to get blood work done without a doctor.
It is important to check with your insurance provider before getting any such testing done as they may not cover it without the appropriate diagnostic codes being submitted.
Our phlebotomists are unable to perform any type of blood draw without a laboratory requisition form or doctor’s orders.
Yes! We offer our services in most metropolitan areas in Florida including Miami. If you live on the outskirts of the city, we recommend checking with our support staff to ensure that we will be able to send a mobile phlebotomist to 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.
8. NPPN is not a limousine or personal courier service. We cannot transport you to any doctor’s office or hospital. We cannot deliver any personal item to any location on your behalf.

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.
