Mobile Phlebotomy Specialist (MPS)
The NPPA Mobile Phlebotomy Specialist is the first credential focused exclusively on the traveling phlebotomist role. Beyond traditional collection skills, candidates are tested on home-draw cold-chain transport, point-of-care testing logistics, HIPAA-compliant mobile workflows, and CLIA-waived lab partnerships. The exam is offered online with live remote proctoring and includes scenario-based items on difficult draws in non-traditional settings - bedbound patients in private residences, pediatric home visits, occupational health screening events, and skilled-nursing facility rounds. Most mobile specialists bill insurance independently or through partner labs (Getlabs, Quest Health, Labcorp At-Home, and Thrivary).
Who is this credential for?
Mobile and concierge phlebotomists who travel to patient homes, senior living communities, and corporate wellness events; covers cold-chain transport, point-of-care testing, HIPAA-compliant mobile workflows, and CLIA-waived lab partnerships.
Renewal requirements
8 continuing-education hours annually plus the $95 renewal fee; candidates must maintain current national certification (PBT, CPT, RPT, or NCPT) as a co-prerequisite.
