Phlebotomy Service Tiers

• Appointment Ready: An appointment is booked in Junction using the patient’s address and the appointment’s date and time. The scheduling is completely synchronous and fully controlled by Junction’s customers through our API.
• Appointment Request: An appointment is requested through the Junction system using the patient’s address. A phlebotomist will eventually assign themselves to the appointment and define the appointment’s date and time with the patient.

​

Appointment scheduling flow

• Place a Mobile Phlebotomy order with the POST /v3/order endpoint.
• Wait for the Requisition Ready status updates through our Webhooks.
• Fetch Provider data via the GET /v3/order/area/info endpoint. The response payload should look like this:

{
  "zip_code": "85004",
  "phlebotomy": {
    "is_served": true,
    "providers": [
      {
        "name": "getlabs",
        "tier": ["appointment-ready"]
      },
      {
        "name": "phlebfinders",
        "tier": ["appointment-request"]
      }
    ]
  }
}

• Select the Provider that best fits your needs.
  • If you use the POST /v3/order/{order_id}/phlebotomy/appointment/book endpoint, an appointment-ready provider is chosen on your behalf.
  • If you use the POST /v3/order/{order_id}/phlebotomy/appointment/request endpoint, you must select a provider that offers an appointment-request tier.
• Wait for the Appointment Webhooks and Order Webhooks described in the Webhooks section.
