Sample collected at home - free

Free collection 24 hr reports

Getting a blood test used to mean taking time off, travelling to a lab and waiting in a queue - often on an empty stomach. With home sample collection, a trained phlebotomist comes to your door instead. For busy Mumbaikars, elderly parents, pregnant women and anyone who is unwell, it is simply the easier way to get tested.

How home blood collection works

  1. Book - choose your test or package online, or call us on 84250 40353. Select a date and time slot.
  2. Prepare - follow the preparation shown on the test page, such as overnight fasting for sugar or cholesterol tests.
  3. Collection - our phlebotomist arrives at your chosen time, confirms your details and collects the sample using sterile, single-use needles. It takes about 10 minutes.
  4. Testing - the sample is labelled, stored at the correct temperature and taken to our laboratory.
  5. Report - a pathologist reviews the results and the report is shared with you online, usually within 24 hours.

How much does a home blood test cost?

At HWP Diagnostic, home collection is free - the test price is the same whether you visit the lab or we come to you. Popular examples:

If you need several tests, a health checkup package is usually much cheaper than booking each test separately.

Areas we cover

We offer free home sample collection across Malad, Kandivali, Borivali and Goregaon, and the neighbouring Dahisar and Jogeshwari. X-ray and sonography are done at our lab in Malad West.

Tips for an accurate home test

  • Fast correctly when required - usually 8–12 hours with only water. See which tests need fasting.
  • Drink water - being well hydrated makes veins easier to find.
  • Wear loose sleeves so the phlebotomist can reach your arm easily.
  • Keep your prescription ready and mention any medicines, especially blood thinners.
  • Avoid heavy exercise and alcohol the day before, as they can affect some results.
  • After the sample, press on the cotton for 2–3 minutes to prevent bruising.

Is it safe?

Yes. Our phlebotomists are trained in safe venepuncture, use sterile single-use needles and follow hygiene protocols at every visit. Samples are sealed, labelled at your home and transported so that they reach the lab in the right condition.

Frequently asked questions

Is home sample collection free?

Yes. HWP Diagnostic does not charge for home sample collection anywhere in Malad, Kandivali, Borivali or Goregaon - you pay only the test price.

Are home blood test results as accurate as lab tests?

Yes, provided the sample is collected, labelled and transported correctly. Your sample goes to the same laboratory and is tested on the same equipment as a sample given at the lab.

Which tests cannot be done at home?

Imaging such as X-ray and sonography, and a few tests that need special handling or timed samples, require a visit to our Malad West lab. Each test page shows whether home collection is available.

What time does the phlebotomist come?

You choose a time slot while booking. For fasting tests, early-morning slots are recommended so you can eat soon after the sample is taken.
