A Collection Network for Laboratories and Health Programs
NPPN is an independent specimen collection, processing, and delivery network. We connect laboratories, diagnostics companies, research programs, and nonprofit health organizations with patients across the United States.
A Professional Field Network You Can Stand Behind
NPPN provides:
- Adherence to all state and federal rules and regulations
- Appropriate supplies and protective equipment
- Current accepted phlebotomy equipment
- Employed, highly trained phlebotomy personnel
- Ongoing quality control
Who we work with
The National Phlebotomy Provider Network is an independent, fully outsourced specimen collection, processing, and delivery solution. We are not another laboratory. We collect the specimens your program requires and deliver them to the lab of your choice. We exist to connect laboratories, research teams, health systems, and nonprofit programs with a reliable national collection network.
Blood Binds Us All
Our primary mission is to facilitate access to the best in diagnostic care and development through the collection, processing, and delivery of medical and research specimens. We bridge the gap between patient and laboratory, improving access, compliance, and outcomes for the organizations we support.
Organizations across healthcare and research already work with NPPN

How a Laboratory Partnership Works
NPPN operates as the collection arm of your organization. We align on protocols, coverage, and laboratory destinations, then keep specimens moving from the field to your bench.
Introduce Your Organization
Tell us about your laboratory, health program, or research network — including the populations you serve and where specimens need to arrive.
Align Coverage and Protocols
We review geography, requisition requirements, handling instructions, and communication preferences so field collections match your laboratory's standards.
Connect Operations
Your operations contacts and ours stay aligned on logistics, documentation, and exception handling. NPPN technicians are employees, not independent contractors.
Collect, Process, and Deliver
Certified phlebotomists collect in appropriate private locations, process specimens as directed, and deliver them to the laboratory of your choice.
