Before Testing
Can blood be drawn somewhere other than the arm?
Last updated July 27, 2026
The arm and hand are standard locations for blood collection as they provide reliable access to suitable veins.
Quest Diagnostics: Can only collect blood samples from your arm.
LabCorp: Can collect blood samples from both your arm and hand.
If you have concerns about these collection sites due to medical conditions, previous difficulties with blood draws, or other reasons, please consult with your healthcare provider before your appointment to determine the best approach for your specific needs.
