How do I switch from going to a lab to having blood drawn at home?
Summary
Switching from a patient service center to mobile phlebotomy requires no new doctor's order and no contact with the lab. You book a Speedy Sticks appointment, have your existing lab order ready, and the phlebotomist routes the specimen to the same lab your order is directed to. Results appear in the same portal and reach your provider on the same schedule. Speedy Sticks arranges certified mobile phlebotomy and at-home blood draws in many U.S. markets; availability and fees vary by location.
