Bringing healthcare closer to home isn’t just a convenience; it’s a necessity for today’s residential care providers. Whether you manage an assisted living facility, a skilled nursing home, or a long-term care community, reliable access to diagnostic testing is vital to keeping your residents healthy and your operation running smoothly. That’s where NPPN comes in.
We provide mobile phlebotomy and specimen collection services tailored to the unique needs of residential communities. Our team is trained, equipped, and ready to meet your residents where they are, no transportation required, no stressful appointments at labs, and no disruption to your team’s core duties. We help you deliver better care by eliminating one of the most common bottlenecks in diagnostics: getting to the lab.
The Hassle-Free Way to Get Lab Work Done
With NPPN as your diagnostic support partner, you no longer need to juggle transportation logistics, long wait times, or outside coordination. Instead of asking your residents to wait in a crowded hospital or clinic lobby, we come directly to your facility with everything needed for safe, accurate specimen collection.
Each visit is handled by a trained, experienced phlebotomist who follows strict protocols to ensure comfort, accuracy, and professionalism. Our central operations team coordinates every appointment to minimize disruption to your schedule while ensuring quick, compliant delivery of each specimen to the designated lab.
We work with all major diagnostic labs and follow the exact collection instructions required by each provider. Our role is to support your workflow, not complicate it. That means fewer missed draws, fewer delays in care, and better outcomes for the people who count on you.
A Trusted Partner for Assisted Living & Skilled Nursing Facilities
Residential communities are under constant pressure to deliver more with less. Your nursing team already has enough on their plate; coordinating bloodwork shouldn’t add another burden. With NPPN on-site, you gain a reliable extension of your care team. Our mobile technicians are available for one-time draws, recurring rounds, or even full-day support based on your community’s specific needs.
Rather than diverting your staff to organize lab appointments or assist with travel, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your residents are receiving top-tier diagnostic services in the comfort of their own environment. This is particularly beneficial for residents who are elderly, have limited mobility, or have chronic conditions that require regular monitoring.
We understand the rhythm of care in your facility and adapt our services to align with it, not interrupt it. Whether you need early-morning draws, afternoon sessions, or something in between, we schedule around your team, your residents, and your workflows.
Independence from Lab-Restricted Options
One of the key advantages of working with NPPN is the flexibility we offer in choosing a lab. Because we are not a laboratory ourselves, you’re never tied to a single provider. You remain free to select the lab that offers the best pricing, service, or turnaround time for your community’s needs.
Other mobile services often come with restrictions; they only work with labs they’re contracted with, or they charge additional per-patient fees for collections. With NPPN, the process is simple: we collect the specimens per the lab’s requirements, transport them safely, and ensure they reach the right destination. You maintain complete control over where and how your lab testing is performed.
This independence empowers residential facilities to cut costs, streamline operations, and provide higher-quality care to more residents, without sacrificing convenience or compliance.
Covered by Many Managed Care Plans
For qualifying residents, our services may be covered by their insurance. NPPN is an in-network ancillary care provider with many managed care plans, which means some or all of the cost of our mobile phlebotomy services may be reimbursable. The testing itself is billed by the lab, just as it would be if the resident visited a draw station in person.
If a resident is not covered, we also offer affordable private-pay options or facility-based billing. Our team can provide itemized claim forms with the appropriate insurance reimbursement codes when needed. This makes it easier for your administration to recover costs or for residents and their families to get the coverage they’re entitled to.
Flexible Service Options for Your Facility
We offer two primary service formats to fit the needs of different residential communities.
For one-time or occasional blood draws, our MobiLab Express™ service sends a technician directly to your facility by appointment. Each visit is coordinated in advance to align with your residents’ routines and medical needs. This is ideal for patients who need lab work following a recent doctor’s visit or for facilities managing infrequent diagnostic requirements.
For communities with higher testing volume or ongoing collection needs, our Specimen PROs™ service offers half-day or full-day technician placements at your site. This enables your nursing team to direct residents to our phlebotomist as needed, without waiting for a separate visit or dealing with multiple vendors. It’s a more efficient, scalable way to handle routine and urgent diagnostic collections alike.
Both service models are designed to reduce friction, improve resident comfort, and save your facility valuable time and resources.

Continuity of Care During COVID-19 and Beyond
During the height of the COVID-19 public health emergency, our mobile collection team became a vital link in the healthcare delivery chain. We enabled high-risk populations to remain at home or in residential care settings while still receiving the lab work needed for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment planning.
In early 2020, we activated our pandemic response plan, which introduced enhanced safety protocols on top of existing biosafety measures. Our technicians adhered to CDC and OSHA-recommended guidelines for contact, airborne, and eye protection precautions. In parallel, we implemented internal health monitoring programs to protect both our staff and your residents.
These enhanced protocols remain in effect as needed to ensure ongoing safety for communities still facing heightened risks from infectious disease. Our ability to quickly adapt and scale during that period reflects our long-standing commitment to resilience, compliance, and patient-first service delivery.
Supporting Your Community’s Needs
Every residential community is different. Some cater to seniors with chronic conditions, others focus on rehabilitative care or post-acute recovery. Some are part of larger networks with shared clinical resources, while others operate independently with limited staffing.
We tailor our services to meet your environment’s unique demands. Whether you’re dealing with a sudden increase in diagnostic needs, a shortage of internal staff, or changes in how your facility is reimbursed, we can step in and help. Our centralized operations team is highly responsive and works closely with your nursing directors, administrative leads, and medical staff to develop sustainable, customized service plans.
You can start with a single draw and expand as needed, or you can bring us in for ongoing rounds with consistent scheduling. There’s no long-term commitment required unless you want one.
Service Availability and Scheduling
NPPN provides nationwide coverage across major U.S. metro areas, with active recruitment and training programs in place to serve new regions. If your facility is located in a more rural area or outside our current coverage map, reach out, we’re often able to mobilize support with just a short lead time.
All of our technicians are employed by NPPN and managed directly by our in-house team. This allows us to control quality, maintain consistency, and avoid the issues that often come with third-party contractor models. It also means we can offer faster scheduling, tighter communication, and better overall results.
Most appointments can be scheduled within 3–7 business days of your request, depending on lab pickup logistics and any special clinical needs.
Empowering Your Staff to Focus on What Matters
When your staff is busy managing resident medications, therapy sessions, family communication, and clinical assessments, sending someone off-site for a blood draw becomes a major disruption. Even calling and coordinating with an outside lab can take time you don’t have.
With our mobile phlebotomy solutions in place, those worries disappear. Your team can delegate diagnostic collection with confidence, knowing that every draw will be performed professionally, every specimen will be handled correctly, and every lab will receive their samples on time.
It’s not just about convenience, it’s about creating an environment where your staff can prioritize resident care without compromise. And your residents benefit from a calmer, more predictable care experience.
