Mobile Phlebotomy Blog

We wanted to use this blog post to clear up a misconception a lot of people have about mobile phlebotomy. That misconception is that you need a “good” reason to call a mobile phlebotomist. So many people think mobile phlebotomy in California is reserved for people who are homebound or who have a difficult time getting to a hospital or patient service center for services like blood draws. But that just isn’t the case. While mobile phlebotomy is a great option for these types of patients, it is really a service for anyone in Southern California!

Just like you might use Uber Eats or a grocery delivery service when you’re too busy or tired to go out and buy food yourself, you can call our mobile phlebotomy company to come to your home to draw your blood or collect your specimen for delivery to your local laboratory. Actually, you don’t even have to be busy or tired to call us. Maybe it’s just too cold to leave the house, or you don’t feel like dealing with the traffic to get to your local patient service center, or you don’t want to spend your time sitting in a waiting room until you can be seen by a phlebotomist.

Using a mobile phlebotomist for the sake of convenience is a perfectly acceptable reason!

Your time is valuable. Why would you spend it driving to a hospital or patient service center for a blood draw or specimen collection, waiting to be seen, and then driving back home, when you can have a phlebotomist come to you? With our service, you make an appointment, we show up on time, draw your blood or collect your specimen, and then you can continue going about your daily activities. We’ll deliver your specimen to the lab of your choice in a timely manner, so the integrity of the specimen is not compromised, and so you get the most accurate results possible.

We should note that for some people who use a mobile phlebotomy company like Veni Health & Wellness Phlebotomy, there is a fee for our service. At Veni Health & Wellness Phlebotomy, our fees are reasonable, and the payment process is simple. Contact us to get a quote on what our services cost in your area. You can also contact us to find out whether or not mobile phlebotomy is covered by your insurance.

Don’t let the lack of a “good” reason stop you from using our mobile phlebotomy service. We are happy to come to you for any reason. Click here to request service for your upcoming blood draw or specimen collection.

Emergen Research, a prominent research company that conducts in-depth research into niche markets, recently put out a market synopsis of the global mobile phlebotomy services industry. The main purpose of the study was to forecast the growth of the mobile phlebotomy industry worldwide. In their study, they profile several key companies, one of which is VeniExpress. They call our company, one of the “…prominent players operating in the global mobile phlebotomy services market.”

According to Emergen Research, the global mobile phlebotomy market, which was valued at $497.3 million in 2020, is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4% from 2021-2028. There are many factors that are expected to contribute to that rate of growth, one of which is the COVID-19 outbreak. The report states, “Demand for mobile phlebotomy services has increased significantly during the COVID-19 outbreak owing to this being a safer and more convenient process considering the prevailing conditions and circumstances.”

The study continued, “Mobile phlebotomists travel from patient to patient, providing them with the services they require and arrive prepared to treat patients at locations that are both safe and convenient for both parties involved. Such services are much more convenient than typical doctor appointments and serve a diverse group of individuals currently. Convenience with which patients can get their blood drawn at home is a key factor increasing patient involvement and satisfaction.”

The study’s findings come as no surprise to us. We started our mobile phlebotomy company because we saw a need for quality, caring, at-home phlebotomy services. And while we could never have seen something like the COVID-19 pandemic coming, we were glad to have been in a position where we could help people shelter in place and still get some of the medical services they needed. We will continue to be available when others have the need for our services.

How We Became a Prominent Player in the Mobile Phlebotomy Industry

It is very gratifying for a research organization like Emergen to include us in their list of prominent mobile phlebotomy companies.

When we started VeniExpress, we had big dreams. We knew we wanted to eventually be a major player in the industry, but we also understood that it wouldn’t happen overnight. Since our founding in 2010, we have been growing our company organically, tackling one market at a time. We started by serving the San Diego region, and then expanded into other parts of Southern California, including Los Angeles, Orange County, and Riverside County. We now travel as far north as Kern County and Ventura County to service patients. In addition, we have offices in Arizona, in the Phoenix and Tucson areas, as well as in Mohave County.

Despite our growth, our team still feels like a tight-knit family in many ways. We have a company culture that places a high value on things like teamwork, unity, and communication. We recognize the importance of every employee—whether he or she is a phlebotomist in the field or someone who handles administrative tasks in our office. We hope to continue to grow our mobile phlebotomy company, but we will never compromise on the level of care our patients receive.
