We follow the order, not a script.
The provider's requisition drives the visit: tests, specimen type, timing, handling. If something on the slip is unclear, we stop and confirm before we collect.
About
One RN. The full visit.
SoCal Specimen Group exists because the collection visit most patients get is built around the lab's lobby—not the person who has to sit in it.
Why we built this
We couldn't find it. So we built it.
A blood draw should not require a parking structure, a clipboard, and an hour you don't have. It should be clinical, private, and done in the space where the patient already is.
We built an RN-led mobile collection service for Southern California: the order is confirmed first, the fee is clear because we private-pay, and a Registered Nurse collects. Then we take the specimen to the laboratory.
Every visit starts with the lab slip. Every collection is performed by an RN. Every patient is treated as a person in their own home—not a number in a waiting room.
The bar
What would we tell a family member?
What would we tell a family member?
That's the standard. If a window won't make the laboratory cutoff, we'll say so. You'll know what we recommend, why, and what happens next.
Private on purpose.
Private pay keeps the collection fee honest. You see the number before we put a time on the calendar. Laboratory charges stay with the laboratory.

Before you request
A provider order is required.
A valid provider order or laboratory requisition is required before collection.
The order should list the requested tests, specimen type, laboratory destination, and any fasting, timing, or handling instructions.
We can coordinate with the patient, family, care manager, or facility staff.
