Getlabs
At-home phlebotomy and specimen collection
Getlabs sends mobile phlebotomists to homes and offices to collect specimens for laboratory testing, helping patients complete ordered diagnostic tests.
Best for
- Patients who have difficulty traveling for an ordered blood draw
- Care organizations adding home specimen collection to existing diagnostic workflows
Not ideal for
- People expecting the collection fee to include every laboratory charge
- Patients needing emergency testing or services outside local collection coverage
Bottom line
Getlabs is useful when travel or scheduling makes an ordered blood draw difficult to complete. Its value comes from bringing collection to the patient while the laboratory and ordering clinician retain their separate roles in testing and follow-up.
Score breakdown
Weights: Outcomes 35% · Product 30% · Implementation 20% · Pricing clarity 15%.
Patients use Getlabs to arrange a home or office collection, and providers use its enterprise service to reach patients outside a facility. Sprinter Health is a relevant alternative where both services can perform the required in-home specimen collection. The comparison should specify the visit and market because Sprinter’s broader preventive-care offering is not identical to a consumer blood draw.
Getlabs adds a mobile-service cost to the diagnostic process, while the laboratory bills for testing separately. A price comparison needs the same location, specimen, timing, and service scope. Avoiding travel and time away from work can be valuable, but a mobile visit does not automatically make the laboratory test covered by insurance.
- Diagnostic access value (7.3): Home collection removes travel barriers, while testing completion depends on local availability and specimen handling.
- Collection and partner services (7.8): Lab collection, vitals, and partner workflows support remote diagnostic programs.
- Scheduling and logistics (7.5): Booking and employed mobile staff simplify access, subject to geography, appointment capacity, and preparation.
- Pricing clarity (6.4): Consumer fees vary by date and location, with laboratory testing and enterprise services priced separately.
The Collection Visit and Laboratory Handoff
A patient books an appointment, provides the necessary order and information, and a specialist collects samples at the home or office. Getlabs describes delivering specimens to Labcorp and Quest. Results then come through the laboratory, ordering clinician, or supported health-record channel.
Collection and analysis are different steps. The service must be able to collect the required specimen, follow preparation instructions, and deliver it under appropriate conditions. Patients should confirm fasting or other preparation with the ordering team and understand who will contact them about a result that needs medical attention.
Enterprise Services and Function Ownership
For partners, Getlabs describes platform access, mobile phlebotomy, vitals, and advanced diagnostics. Organizations can incorporate visits into existing care workflows. Local capacity, supported tests, scheduling, and responsibility for rejected specimens are important parts of choosing a collection partner.
Function announced that it had acquired Getlabs on April 8, 2026. The announcement said Getlabs’ provider and health-system network would continue operating, with Function members gaining a home or office collection option. Getlabs’ current team page identifies Claire Hough as CEO, and its branded collection service remains active.
