Healthcare On Your Terms
Gone are the days of waiting rooms, traffic, and early morning lab lines. With mobile phlebotomy services, you can now have your blood drawn from the comfort of your home, office, or hotel room — no matter your schedule.
At Curis Diagnostic Solutions, we understand that convenience and professionalism go hand-in-hand. In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly what to expect from your at-home blood draw — so you feel confident, prepared, and cared for.
🏠 Step 1: Schedule Your Appointment
The process starts with booking. You can schedule online or through a quick call with our support team. You’ll choose:
- Your preferred date and time
- The location (home, work, etc.)
- The type of test(s) you need (ordered by your provider or from our test kit catalog)
We recommend scheduling 24-48 hours in advance, but same-day or next-day bookings are often available depending on your region.
📋 Step 2: Pre-Appointment Checklist
Before your visit, we’ll send a reminder with prep instructions based on your test type. This may include:
- Fasting: Many blood tests (e.g., cholesterol, glucose) require 8–12 hours of fasting.
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water — it helps make veins more visible and blood draws easier.
- Medication: Check with your doctor to see if you should pause any medications prior to the test.
- Documents: Have your ID, test order (if applicable), and insurance card ready.
✅ Pro Tip: Wear a short-sleeve or loose-fitting shirt for easier access to your arm.
🚗 Step 3: Your Phlebotomist Arrives
Our certified, background-checked mobile phlebotomist will arrive at your selected location within the scheduled time window. They’ll bring:
- All sterile equipment (needles, tubes, gloves, etc.)
- Your test order details
- Tamper-proof specimen containers
- PPE for your safety and theirs
Our staff wear scrubs and carry identification for peace of mind.
💉 Step 4: The Blood Draw Process
Here’s what will happen during your blood collection:
- Consent & Questions: You’ll be asked to verify your name, DOB, and sign a consent form.
- Comfort Setup: The phlebotomist will set up a clean, safe area — typically a table, counter, or workspace.
- Draw Prep: They’ll tie a tourniquet, clean your skin, and locate a vein (typically in the arm).
- Collection: The actual blood draw usually takes less than 5 minutes.
- Bandage & Aftercare: Once the sample is collected, they’ll apply gentle pressure, clean the site, and place a bandage.
- Labeling & Storage: All tubes will be properly labeled, sealed, and placed in secure transport containers.
All procedures follow CDC, OSHA, and HIPAA safety guidelines.
📦 Step 5: Secure Sample Transport
After your draw, the technician will carefully store your specimen in a temperature-controlled transport kit and deliver it to the designated laboratory.
We partner with CLIA-certified labs nationwide to ensure accurate, timely processing.
🕒 Step 6: Getting Your Results
Your results will be sent directly to your provider — or, if you ordered one of our direct-access tests, we’ll send them securely via email or patient portal.
Turnaround times depend on the type of test but typically range from 48 to 72 hours.
