Common questions
Does my hematologist need to approve home draws?
Yes—a physician order specifying volume, frequency, and concurrent lab monitoring is required before scheduling.
Can you also draw my ferritin and CBC monitoring labs at the same visit?
Yes—concurrent monitoring labs are collected at the same therapeutic phlebotomy visit and routed to your reference lab.
How is home therapeutic phlebotomy different from an infusion center?
The clinical procedure is identical. Home draws eliminate travel and infusion center wait times, which is meaningful during the depletion phase when draws are weekly.
