Mobile phlebotomy brings blood collection services directly to your location, whether it's your home, office or another convenient location. Instead of traveling to a clinic or hospital a trained phlebotomist comes to you to draw blood for various medical tests. 

There's two answers to this question...

Yes — your insurance will be applied to the cost of your lab testing once your specimens are processed by the laboratory.

Please note that the mobile blood draw fee itself, is separate and not billable to insurance. This fee covers the convenience of having a phlebotomist come to your location and drop the specimens off to your preferred lab. Prices vary depending on distance and the type of testing requested.

In short: Insurance applies to your lab work but not to the mobile visit fee.
