Frequently asked questions : Home collection
Everything you need to know before booking a home nursing visit for your blood draws and medical tests in several regions of Quebec.
Yes. In Quebec, every blood draw requires a prescription issued by an authorized health professional: physician, specialized nurse practitioner (IPS), medical technologist, respiratory therapist or radiology technologist. If you do not have a prescription, our nurse may, in certain situations, prescribe the tests within the legal framework of autonomous nursing prescription.
At-home blood collection costs $85, including travel up to 20 km, then $25 per additional 20 km (beyond 60 km: quote on request). Laboratory tests are extra, depending on the tests prescribed. You receive a clear quote when you book, along with an official receipt to submit to your private insurer, if applicable.
Most private and group insurance plans reimburse part or all of the cost of sample collection and tests. Reimbursement depends on your policy. We give you an official receipt with all the codes needed for your claim.
It depends on the tests prescribed. Some tests require fasting for 8 to 12 hours (notably blood sugar, lipid profile and ferritin). Others require no preparation. When fasting is required, we come early in the morning for your comfort. Specific instructions are provided when you book your appointment.
Most results are available within a few business days after the samples reach our partner laboratories, which are accredited by the LSPQ and the MSSS. Some specialized tests may take longer. The results are sent directly to your attending physician, who will provide the appropriate clinical follow-up.
Yes. Our nurses regularly visit private seniors' residences (RPAs) and adapt their approach to older people and people losing autonomy. For CHSLDs, contact us to check the agreements in place at your facility.
Yes. At-home STI screening protects your privacy and makes the process easier. Samples (blood, urine or swabs) are collected in a confidential setting and sent discreetly to our partner laboratories. Results are communicated according to the Quebec protocols in effect.
We accept prescriptions issued by any health professional authorized to prescribe in Quebec. Prescriptions from naturopaths, osteopaths, homeopaths, chiropractors and acupuncturists are not recognized for medical sample collection in the province. Prescriptions issued outside Quebec are assessed case by case.
Our network of nurses serves several regions: Greater Montreal, Laval, Montérégie and the South Shore, the North Shore and Lanaudière, as well as the Laurentians. Availability may vary by area. If your municipality is not in our usual service areas, contact us to assess coverage.
All at-home sample collections are performed by licensed nurses, members of the Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec (OIIQ) or the Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers auxiliaires du Québec (OIIAQ). Our team is trained in venipuncture techniques, the handling of sterile single-use equipment and compliance with asepsis protocols in a home setting.
Yes. Our B2B service includes pre-employment health checks, workplace screening and on-site testing directly at the company's premises. For organizations subject to medical surveillance obligations (heavy metals, contaminants, regulated sectors), we offer tailored programs with a mobile on-site service.
You can book by phone at 514 606-3350 or through our online form. Our team schedules the appointment based on your address, your availability and the instructions for your prescribed tests. You then receive a confirmation with the preparation instructions.
