Mobile Phlebotomy in San Francisco, California

Typical mobile phlebotomy costs in San Francisco

Each provider sets their own rates, but mobile blood draw services in San Francisco generally charge a separate visit fee on top of any laboratory testing costs. Nationally, these convenience fees typically fall between $70 and $150 per appointment, with variations based on distance traveled, appointment urgency, and whether multiple household members are being drawn.

Larger national providers often publish standard home-visit rates near $75–$80, while smaller independent services in the San Francisco region may adjust pricing for factors like mileage from their base, weekend or evening visits, or specialized specimen handling requirements.

These figures are illustrative averages and not guaranteed quotes. Contact providers directly to confirm their exact fees, included services, and cancellation policies before you commit to an appointment.

Insurance and medical orders in San Francisco

Whether your insurance covers mobile phlebotomy in San Francisco depends on your specific plan, the laboratory processing your tests, and the medical necessity of the work. Typically, the laboratory testing can be billed to insurance when ordered by a licensed provider, but the mobile collection fee is often an out-of-pocket convenience charge.

• Most services require a valid lab requisition from a physician or other authorized healthcare provider.
• Medicare and some private plans may cover in-home draws for homebound patients or those meeting specific medical criteria in San Francisco.
• Many mobile phlebotomy services operate on a cash-pay basis for the visit fee, even when the lab itself is in-network with your insurance.

Before scheduling, verify coverage details with both your insurance carrier and the laboratory named on your requisition to understand any copays, deductibles, or home-visit restrictions.
