Therapeutic Blood Draw

Therapeutic Blood Draw

Therapeutic Blood Draws at Home

When a healthcare provider determines that therapeutic blood removal is part of a patient's treatment plan, repeated trips to a medical facility can become a burden.

Long Term Home Healthcare helps bring eligible, provider-ordered therapeutic blood draw services into the patient's home.

Our goal is to make recurring care more convenient while helping patients remain in the environment where they are most comfortable.

What Is Therapeutic Phlebotomy?

Therapeutic phlebotomy is a medical procedure in which a prescribed amount of blood is removed as part of a patient's treatment plan.

It may be used in the management of certain medical conditions when determined appropriate by a qualified healthcare provider.

Because therapeutic blood removal is a medical treatment, it is performed according to an appropriate healthcare provider's orders and the patient's individual care plan.

Why Have Therapeutic Blood Draws at Home?

For someone who needs recurring treatment, transportation can become one of the biggest challenges.

Home-based service may help reduce:

  • Travel to and from medical facilities
  • Transportation difficulties
  • Time away from home
  • Physical strain associated with travel
  • Dependence on family members for transportation
  • Disruption to established home-care routines

Instead, eligible patients can receive their scheduled service in the comfort of home.

Professional Care Based on Your Treatment Plan

Your physician or other qualified healthcare provider remains responsible for determining whether therapeutic blood removal is appropriate, ordering the treatment, and managing the patient's overall medical care.

Our role is to help make the delivery of that ordered service more convenient.
