Mobile Phlebotomy in Concord
With mobile phlebotomy, an in-home blood draw service, you book a time window online, then a phlebotomist from Getlabs or Speedy Sticks comes to your Concord address, collects your sample, and sends it to a lab for processing. These services cover much of the area, though availability can vary by ZIP code, and appointment fees may differ from standard lab visits.
Appointments typically 6:00am–10:00pm, 7 days a week.
- Sample is drawn in your home, not a waiting room
- No travel to a lab for sample collection
- More flexibility to schedule around your day
- Helpful for limited mobility or anyone who prefers privacy
For added convenience, at-home blood test kits let you collect a finger-prick sample yourself and mail it to a CLIA-certified lab.
