As a patient in need of laboratory testing, the thought of having to travel to a medical facility can be daunting. In some cases, the physical effort and time it takes to visit a lab can be a barrier to accessing essential medical services. For those living in Baltimore, the problem is compounded by the city’s fast-paced lifestyle and high population density, which can make traveling to a laboratory even more challenging.
At the National Phlebotomy Providers Network, we specialize in mobile blood draws, and offer a wide range of services to meet patient needs for fast and reliable results.
Our phlebotomists are experts and held to the highest professional standards, including following HIPAA compliance and pre-testing guidelines to ensure accuracy and confidentiality.
We bring the lab directly to patients like you so that you can get the blood tests that you need to be done without ever leaving the comfort of your home.
Once your samples have been drawn, we promptly and securely deliver them to the lab of your doctor’s choice.
Same-Day appointments for Our Mobile Phlebotomy Services in New York City.
There are numerous benefits to choosing mobile phlebotomy services in Baltimore. The most obvious advantage is convenience. Patients can have their blood drawn at their preferred location, whether it’s at home, work, or any other location that is convenient for them. This eliminates the need to travel to a laboratory and saves patients valuable time.
Another benefit of mobile phlebotomy is the ability to receive care in the comfort of one’s own home. This is especially important for those who are elderly or disabled, who may struggle with physical mobility and find it difficult to travel to a laboratory. With mobile phlebotomy services, these patients can receive the medical care they need without having to leave their homes.
Mobile phlebotomy also provides patients with more privacy and confidentiality. With laboratory testing, patients often have to share waiting rooms with other patients, which can be an uncomfortable experience. With mobile phlebotomy, patients can have their blood drawn in a private and confidential setting, which can help to ease anxiety and stress.
Our highly experienced staff consists of registered phlebotomists, lab technicians, and office personnel who have been specially trained in phlebotomy. They are well-versed in the latest techniques for medical blood collection and have years of experience drawing specimens.
The process of mobile phlebotomy services in Baltimore is simple and straightforward. First, patients schedule an appointment with a mobile phlebotomy service provider. The provider will then assign a medical professional to visit the patient at their preferred location. The medical professional will arrive with all the necessary equipment and supplies, including a blood draw kit, gloves, and alcohol wipes.
Once the medical professional arrives, they will explain the blood draw process to the patient and answer any questions they may have. The medical professional will then clean the area where the blood will be drawn, tie a tourniquet around the patient’s arm, and insert a needle into a vein. The blood will then be collected into a vial, which will be labeled and stored in a cooler to maintain its stability.
After the blood draw is complete, the medical professional will remove the needle, apply pressure to the area, and place a bandage on the site. The patient will then be given instructions on how to care for the site, including how to prevent infection and how to monitor the area for signs of complications.
At the National Phlebotomy Providers Network, the safety and quality of our mobile blood draw services in Baltimore are of utmost importance. Our medical staff use state-of-the-art equipment and follow strict protocols to ensure that samples are collected accurately and safely. Additionally, our services are regulated by the state, and service providers are required to adhere to strict guidelines to ensure that the blood draw is safe and effective.
The National Phlebotomy Providers Network is a national non-profit agency that offers:
The first step is to get a laboratory requisition form from your doctor which will detail the blood tests that you need to be drawn. Once you have that, simply request an appointment on our website to set up an at-home blood draw on your schedule.
Appointments can be made by you for yourself, on behalf of a family member if you’re a caregiver, or by a doctor’s office on behalf of a patient. We will verify the patient’s demographic information as well as their insurance and set up a time and date that works for you.
We then send our highly-trained mobile phlebotomists at your preferred day and time to take blood samples from patients at their homes. From there, we will package and securely deliver the specimens to one of our affiliated lab partners such as Quest, LabCorp, and many others.
Your results will typically be available from your doctor’s office 48-72 hours later. They will call you to discuss your results once they are available.
