Safe, professional, and compassionate mobile phlebotomy services that support your home care agency and improve patient outcomes.
Getting Lab Work Done Is Easy
At the National Phlebotomy Provider Network (NPPN), we make laboratory testing simple for home care agencies and their patients. As a premier specimen collection service provider, we are your one‑stop shop for mobile phlebotomy services and diagnostic support. Unlike other services that rely on contractors, NPPN directly employs phlebotomists and manages the entire process through our central operations team, ensuring consistency, safety, and quality in every interaction.
Your Partner in Home Care
NPPN serves as a trusted care partner to home care agencies nationwide. By partnering with us, your patients avoid spending hours in crowded clinics or hospitals only to receive rushed, impersonal service. Instead, our compassionate technicians bring professional home care phlebotomy services directly to patients in the comfort of their homes.
Working with NPPN also frees up your nursing staff to focus on more critical aspects of patient care. Because many blood draws cannot be billed to insurance by the agency, our service eliminates the burden of uncompensated time for your staff. The result is a smoother workflow, better patient outcomes, and more efficient use of your agency’s resources.
It’s a true win‑win: patients receive timely diagnostic care without unnecessary stress, and providers receive accurate lab results as if the patient had gone to a traditional facility.
Benefits for Home Care Agencies and Patients
Our mobile blood draw services for home care provide value to everyone involved in the care process:
- For agencies: Save staff time and resources, reduce uncompensated tasks, and improve patient satisfaction.
- For patients: Avoid travel, long wait times, and the risks of exposure in clinical settings.
- For providers: Receive accurate, timely lab results to guide treatment decisions.
- For insurers: Support better compliance and continuity of care while controlling unnecessary costs.
NPPN makes it possible for agencies to focus on what they do best, providing quality nursing care, while we handle the specimen collection and delivery.
Comprehensive Specimen Collection for Home Care Patients
We offer at‑home specimen collection for a full range of diagnostic needs. From routine bloodwork to more complex testing, our trained professionals collect specimens per the instructions of the laboratory or healthcare provider.
Because NPPN is an independent service provider, we are not tied to any single lab. That means we can collect specimens for any laboratory and transport them wherever they need to go, whether designated by you, the patient’s insurance, or the practitioner.
We collect a variety of specimens, including blood, stool, and other diagnostic samples, ensuring your patients receive comprehensive care without unnecessary disruption.
Insurance and Coverage Options for Home Care Patients
NPPN is a contracted, in‑network ancillary care provider for many managed care plans, meaning our services may be covered for some of your patients. In these cases, the patient’s insurance covers the laboratory testing fees as it normally would.
While we cannot bill Medicare or Medicaid directly, we provide insurance claim forms with appropriate billing codes so that patients or facilities may seek reimbursement. In many cases, agencies arrange for a flat per‑draw rate for our MobiLab Express™ service or an hourly rate for our Specimen Pros™ service.
For patients with limited mobility, homebound status, or other medical needs, insurance coverage or reimbursement may be available. Our operations team works with agencies and families to ensure that billing and coverage are as seamless as possible.
Blood Draw with Care
Every NPPN phlebotomist is a skilled professional committed to patient care. With our home care phlebotomy services, your agency gains access to the most experienced and highly trained mobile phlebotomists in the field, operating under the highest professional standards.
We are experts in caring for seniors, homebound patients, and those with special needs. From needle phobia and anxiety to difficult veins, our phlebotomists are trained to handle sensitive situations with patience and compassion.
To enhance continuity of care, patients are assigned a dedicated “case worker” phlebotomist. This ensures the same technician visits for each appointment, building familiarity and trust while improving patient comfort and outcomes.
Continuity of Care with Dedicated Case Worker Phlebotomists
We believe that trust is an essential part of healthcare. That’s why NPPN assigns patients to the same phlebotomist whenever possible. Patients become comfortable with their technician, and phlebotomists learn the unique needs of each patient. This consistency reduces anxiety, improves the quality of blood draws, and ensures reliable results for providers.
An Extension of Your Home Care Agency
Navigating today’s healthcare system can be overwhelming for patients and families. Multilevel management, complex care requirements, and fragmented communication too often leave patients feeling frustrated or forgotten.
NPPN serves as an extension of your home care agency, helping patients feel supported while ensuring providers receive the critical diagnostic information they need. By partnering with us, your team can focus on nursing care while we manage the collection, processing, and secure delivery of specimens.
