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.
For any medical facility or network wanting individual-patient specimen collection assistance, MobiLab Express™ is our on-demand service that’s priced on a per draw basis. This service gives your patients full-service specimen collection assistance. Our phlebotomists arrive at the prearranged service location, home, or workplace on time for the scheduled appointment and collect the samples while delivering them in an accurate and timely manner. Multiple patient requests can be accommodated but may not be collected more than 15 minutes apart.
The Specimen PROs™ is a phlebotomy service for medical practitioners and researchers who pay flat-fee on a per-session basis. Our highly qualified phlebotomists will visit your location for scheduled appointments. The phlebotomist will give services on-site to as many patients as the schedule permits during the session. This time allocation method is particularly useful in small and medium-sized groups of people.

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.

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.
