What PARAMEDICAL SERVICE OF AMERICA INC does

Paramedical Service of America Inc, doing business as Portamedic, is a US-based private mobile medical testing company founded in 1973 (some sources indicate 1974) and headquartered in Jericho, New York. The company operates a network of 4,500+ certified mobile medical professionals supported by 100+ field offices spanning all 50 US states and Puerto Rico, delivering in-home services including blood draws, urine and vital collections, electrocardiograms, cardiac ultrasounds, and structured medical data collection. Portamedic reports processing approximately 2 million mobile blood draws annually, with operations organized to serve decentralized clinical trials and routine diagnostic testing for healthcare and telehealth networks.

The company's core offering is decentralized clinical trial support: it brings protocol-required specimen collection and data capture directly to participants' homes, addressing recruitment friction, dropout risk, and demographic-diversity limitations inherent to fixed-site trials. Primary customers are clinical trial sponsors, contract research organizations (CROs), hospital and healthcare networks, and telehealth providers, with secondary exposure to corporate wellness programs and direct-to-consumer lab testing. The company has been affiliated with American Para Professional Systems, Inc (APPS) since 2013 for patient education and participant recruitment. The business model is B2B professional services sold via multi-year contracts at undisclosed (quote-based) pricing.

Commercially, Portamedic runs an enterprise field-sales motion supplemented by a self-serve D2C channel. Public materials do not disclose revenue, employee compensation structure, customer logos, or funding history. The company holds no patents, has no publicly known M&A activity, and operates under HIPAA compliance with WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards on its web properties. The competitive positioning rests on nationwide physical reach, a 50+ year operating history, and the depth of its certified mobile workforce rather than on proprietary technology or software.

Direct peers

• ExamOne: ExamOne, a Quest Diagnostics subsidiary, is the largest US provider of mobile paramedical and specimen collection services for insurance, clinical research, and healthcare. It is the closest direct peer to Portamedic in mobile phlebotomy and decentralized trial support.
• Mobile Health: Mobile Health provides in-home and on-site health services including mobile phlebotomy, vaccinations, and clinical trial support to employers, health plans, and research sponsors. It directly competes with Portamedic in mobile clinical research services and employer health screenings.
• Sanguine Biosciences: Sanguine operates a mobile phlebotomy and in-home sample collection network serving clinical research and biotech customers for decentralized studies. It competes head-to-head with Portamedic for CRO and sponsor mobile trial work.

Emerging players

• GetLabs: GetLabs is a digital-first mobile phlebotomy and at-home lab draw company serving telehealth providers, D2C consumers, and clinical research. It overlaps with Portamedic's telehealth and D2C segments, and represents the tech-enabled model Portamedic does not have.
• Sprinter Health: Sprinter Health offers in-home diagnostics including blood draws and vitals collection with software-driven scheduling and integration into health systems and payers. It is an emerging competitor in the mobile diagnostics space, particularly in the telehealth and value-based care overlap with Portamedic.
• BioIQ: BioIQ is a health testing platform that connects consumers and employees to at-home and on-site lab testing and screenings, including mobile phlebotomy. It overlaps with Portamedic's corporate wellness and D2C lab testing segments.
• Tasso: Tasso manufactures and supplies at-home blood collection devices used in decentralized clinical trials and remote testing. It is an emerging player addressing the same decentralized trial pain point as Portamedic, but via a hardware-and-device model rather than a service network.

Broad incumbents

• Quest Diagnostics Mobile Phlebotomy: Quest Diagnostics offers consumer mobile phlebotomy and reference lab services nationally through Quest Mobile and its ExamOne subsidiary. As a large incumbent, it competes across the same customer segments as Portamedic but with a far broader reference lab portfolio behind the draw.
• Labcorp Mobile Phlebotomy: Labcorp provides mobile phlebotomy services, reference lab testing, and clinical trial central lab capabilities, often through its Drug Development business. It is a broad incumbent competing for hospital, telehealth, and CRO work that overlaps with Portamedic.
• Bio-Reference Laboratories: Bio-Reference, an OPKO Health subsidiary, provides clinical diagnostic and specialty testing services with mobile phlebotomy offerings. It is a broad incumbent in mobile lab services, competing with Portamedic for hospital, physician, and patient-facing specimen collection.
