Phlebotomists are critical to the lab testing process, but it’s not always easy to find them. This is especially true now when so many of you are operating remote or telehealth-first practices. If you’re operating in Arizona, it’s not easy to know about phlebotomy options if your patient is located in Wisconsin.

That’s why Rupa has launched its searchable phlebotomy database - so you can easily find phlebotomists who can draw your patients’ blood in their geographic area. 

• Search via zip code or city, state to find local phlebotomists 
• Website, phone number, hours of operation, pricing (when available), and address are included
  

Rupa has built a phlebotomy network across the United States to ensure phlebotomy options are available for most patients. You can use this database to find where they are and see the phlebotomy options that we send patients via e-mail after you place an order with us.

If you want to send all of your patients to a specific phlebotomist, you can always set a preferred phlebotomist (scroll to the bottom of this page). In this case, we’ll direct all of your patients to your phlebotomist of choice.

‍
We’re always looking to expand our phlebotomy services - if you don’t see a phlebotomist in your patients’ area, send us a message in our portal and we’ll be glad to help.

Practitioners can now see and handle specimen issues right from the Dashboard.

• We'll notify you immediately if the lab has a sample processing issue.
• Filter to see all your delayed orders and orders requiring your action.
• Choose how to handle the issue from easy options, including: full/partial recollection, refund, or accept the partial results.
  

With Results Over Time, you can now automatically view the trending of blood and hormone markers for your patients at a glance!

It works with blood biomarkers from Access Medical Labs, AML drawn at Labcorp, Boston Heart, and hormone markers from ZRT and Doctor's Data - with support for more labs on the way! 

To use it, navigate to a patient's Details page. And from there, select the Results Over Time tab. That's it!

You can now easily create blood panels by searching biomarkers and comparing labs.

• Search by Biomarkers: Effortlessly pair biomarkers like homocysteine, B12 or biomarker groupings like CBC, CMP for a comprehensive blood panel. 💪
• Compare Labs: Easily find labs offering all selected biomarkers and compare costs, including phlebotomy fees, for informed decision-making. 🧐‍
• Store Custom Panels: Create and store personalized panels for quick retrieval and future use
