Booking Your Home Visit

Scheduling a home phlebotomy visit is simple and hassle-free. You can book your appointment online or give us a call to choose a time that works best for you. If your doctor has prescribed specific tests, have your paperwork ready, but if you’re unsure, we can guide you through the process.

Preparing for Your Blood Test

To ensure a smooth experience, follow any test-specific instructions given by your doctor or our team. Some tests may require fasting for a few hours before the blood draw. Staying hydrated is also key, as it helps make veins more accessible. Have your ID, test request form (if applicable), and any medical history details handy for a quick verification process.

The Phlebotomist’s Arrival

One of our trained and certified phlebotomists will arrive at your location at the scheduled time. They will come equipped with sterile, single-use needles, collection tubes, gloves, alcohol swabs, and any other necessary medical supplies. For your safety, our professionals follow strict hygiene protocols, including wearing masks and gloves.

Setting Up for the Procedure

Before the blood draw, the phlebotomist will:

• Confirm your details and the required tests.
• Find a comfortable spot to set up their equipment.
• Explain the procedure so you know what to expect.

Our team is friendly and professional, ensuring you feel at ease throughout the process. If you have any concerns or anxieties about needles, let us know—we’ll do our best to help you stay comfortable.

The Blood Collection Process

The actual blood draw takes only a few minutes and involves:

• Cleaning the area (typically the inner arm) with an antiseptic wipe.
• Applying a tourniquet to make the veins more visible.
• Using a small, sterile needle to collect the required amount of blood.
• Removing the needle and applying a cotton pad and bandage.

We prioritize a painless and efficient experience. If you experience any discomfort, let the phlebotomist know immediately.

Aftercare Tips

Once your blood has been drawn, you can resume your daily activities with minimal restrictions. We recommend:

• Keeping the bandage on for at least an hour.
• Avoiding heavy lifting with the arm used for the blood draw.
• Drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated.
• Eating a light snack if you were fasting.

If you feel lightheaded, sit or lie down for a few minutes until you feel better. Our team is always happy to offer advice on post-procedure care.

Sample Transportation & Lab Processing

Your blood samples will be securely labeled and transported to a trusted laboratory for testing. Most test results are available within 24 to 48 hours, depending on the type of test. Once processed, your results will be sent to your doctor or made available through a secure online portal.

Receiving Your Results & Next Steps

Once your results are ready, you can discuss them with your doctor to determine any next steps. If you need additional guidance on what your results mean, we can help connect you with the right healthcare professionals.
