In-Home Lab Testing & Mobile Diagnostics in San Antonio, TX
Physician-ordered blood work and diagnostic testing delivered to your door — no waiting rooms, no fasting drives, no lab trips.
Skip the Lab. Get Results at Your Bedside.
For many patients — especially those who are homebound, recovering, elderly, or managing chronic illness — a trip to an outpatient lab can be exhausting, impractical, or even medically risky. Fasting drives, crowded waiting rooms, and logistical hurdles delay the diagnostics you need.
Prime Vitality Health brings the lab to you. Our physician and mobile diagnostics team come directly to your home, assisted living facility, or nursing home with everything needed for a complete bedside lab draw. No scheduling conflicts. No transportation barriers. No exposure risks.
Every test is physician-ordered and clinically meaningful. Results are reviewed personally by Dr. Shiv Goel — not a physician's assistant or automated portal — so you receive immediate clinical guidance and care plan adjustments when results arrive.
- No more trips to commercial labs or hospital outpatient centers
- Physician-ordered draws with full clinical context — not standalone orders
- Results reviewed directly by Dr. Goel for immediate clinical action
- Available at homes, SNFs, ALFs, and care facilities across San Antonio
Lab Tests We Perform at Your Home
All panels are physician-ordered and processed through certified reference laboratories. Results are typically available same-day or within 24 hours.
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
Evaluates red and white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets. Essential for detecting anemia, infection, and blood disorders.
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
Assesses kidney and liver function, electrolytes, glucose, and protein levels. Critical for monitoring organ health and medication effects.
Hemoglobin A1C
The gold standard for diabetes monitoring, reflecting average blood sugar over 2–3 months. Essential for adjusting diabetes medications.
Lipid Panel (Cholesterol)
Measures total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. Essential for cardiovascular risk assessment and statin therapy management.
Thyroid Function Tests
TSH, Free T3, and Free T4 panels to diagnose and monitor hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and thyroid medication efficacy.
INR / Coagulation Studies
Point-of-care INR testing for patients on warfarin (Coumadin) or other anticoagulants. Enables same-visit dose adjustments without lab trips.
Urinalysis
Evaluates urine for signs of infection, kidney disease, diabetes, and metabolic conditions. Can be performed bedside with rapid results.
Custom Panels
Hormone levels (testosterone, estradiol, cortisol), vitamin panels (D, B12, folate), and inflammation markers (CRP, ESR) tailored to your care plan.

Frequently Asked Questions About In-Home Lab Testing
Have a question not answered here? Call us at 210-251-4911 or visit our contact page — our team is happy to help.
What lab tests can you perform at home?
We perform a comprehensive range of physician-ordered lab tests at your bedside, including Complete Blood Count (CBC), Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP), Hemoglobin A1C, Lipid Panel, Thyroid Function Tests, INR/Coagulation Studies, Urinalysis, and custom panels for hormones, vitamins, and inflammation markers. Dr. Goel determines clinically appropriate tests during your evaluation. For our full visiting physician services, see Visiting Physician Services.
How do I prepare for an in-home lab draw (fasting, etc.)?
Preparation depends on the specific tests ordered. Fasting panels (CMP, lipid panel, fasting glucose) generally require 8–12 hours of fasting — water and essential medications are always fine. Our care coordinator will provide detailed preparation instructions at the time of scheduling. Questions before your visit? Call us at 210-251-4911.
How quickly do I get my lab results?
Most results are available same-day or within 24 hours, depending on the panel. Stat draws for urgent clinical needs can often be expedited. Dr. Goel personally reviews all results and contacts you directly — abnormal values receive immediate clinical attention, not just a portal notification. You can also track your care using TimeVitality AI.
Does insurance cover in-home lab testing?
Coverage varies by plan and clinical indication. Medicare and many private insurers cover physician-ordered lab tests, including at-home draws for qualifying homebound patients. Concierge medicine members may have lab testing included in their membership. Our team will verify your benefits before the visit. Contact us to discuss your specific coverage.
Can you do lab testing at nursing homes and assisted living facilities?
Yes. Prime Vitality Health routinely provides on-site mobile lab services at skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), assisted living facilities (ALFs), and long-term care communities throughout the San Antonio area.

Who reviews my lab results?

Dr. Goel interprets results within the full context of your medical history — not as isolated numbers — and contacts you directly to discuss clinical implications and any adjustments to your care plan. We also partner with TimeVitality AI to support longitudinal health monitoring.
