Provider Requirements
PhlebFlow is a free directory listing for independent mobile phlebotomists and CLIA laboratories. Here is exactly what you need to join, and how our review and verification process works. Signing up takes about 5 minutes.
Who can join
- Independent mobile phlebotomists — solo practitioners or small mobile teams.
- Laboratories — mobile or CLIA-waived/certified labs offering collection services.
What you need to sign up
- Your contact information (name, phone, email).
- Your service area — the cities you cover (we expand them to ZIP-level coverage for patient matching).
- The services you offer (at-home draws, specialty kits, pediatric, specimen pickup, and more).
- Your certification, from the same list signup offers: ASCP, NHA, AMT, NCCT, AMCA, NPA, NPS, ACA, ASPT, State certification, State certification, State nursing license, Other registry / private certification, Training certificate only.
- A short bio for your public profile.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- An accuracy attestation: you confirm your profile information is accurate and that you maintain the credentials you list.
State license rules
A state phlebotomy license is legally required in only four states. If you practice in one of them, you must provide your license ID to list:
- California — CPT I/II (CDPH)
- Washington — Medical Assistant–Phlebotomist (WA DOH)
- Nevada — Laboratory Assistant license
- Louisiana — LSBME phlebotomist license
Everywhere else (including Florida), national certification is voluntary but strongly recommended — it is what patients look for on your profile.
Laboratories: CLIA required
Laboratory listings require a CLIA number before going live. The lab reports it; the “CLIA certificate verified” badge goes up once we confirm it against the public CMS registry, and anyone can check a CLIA number there.
How verification works
- Every new listing is reviewed before publishing. Until it is approved, your profile is hidden from patient searches.
- Credentials on profiles are self-reported by the provider — except where a profile shows the "Credential verified" badge, which PhlebFlow grants only after manually checking that credential.
- PhlebFlow is a directory and logistics platform. We do not employ providers and do not guarantee licensure, availability, or pricing — patients are always advised to verify credentials directly with their chosen provider.
Professional liability insurance
Insurance is not required to join — but carrying professional liability insurance is strongly recommended. Profiles show it at one of three levels:self-reported (you say you carry it), on file (we read a current certificate of insurance you sent), or verified (we confirmed that certificate with the carrier or broker). Each level switches off on the policy’s expiry date when we have one (the two upper levels always carry one).
