Getlabs vs Karpa: White Label Lab Testing Comparison (2026)

Getlabs vs Karpa for selling lab tests under your brand: who orders, sample collection, pricing and who keeps the revenue.

Last reviewed: November 9, 2026

Chad H. Co-founder, Karpa Health

TL;DR

Getlabs is a mobile phlebotomy company that sends its employed phlebotomists to patients' homes or offices to collect blood and other samples, then delivers them to Labcorp, Quest or the partner's lab. It does not order tests, sell them or report results, so it fits organizations that already have ordering clinicians and a lab account. Function Health acquired Getlabs in April 2026.

How customer payments flow Customers pay at the branded storefront checkout Karpa supplies, at the price the business sets, and funds settle directly to the business's own Stripe account Getlabs charges a fee for each collection visit, which the partner can subsidize or pass on to the patient; the lab bills the testing separately, and Getlabs does not handle the sale of the test.

Getlabs: What You Should Know

Getlabs fits an organization that already has clinicians placing lab orders and an account with Labcorp, Quest or another lab, and needs someone to collect the samples at the patient's home or office. Health plans, health systems, clinical trial teams and telehealth companies use it to raise completion rates on orders their own providers write. It can collect urine, stool, vitals and EKGs as well as blood, and it books visits through a portal, an API or a co-branded scheduling link. What it does not do is order the test, sell it to a customer or deliver the results.

Karpa fits a business that does not have its own ordering clinicians and wants the whole lab offer under its brand: a licensed provider in Karpa's network orders each test, Labcorp runs it, results go to a branded customer portal, and the business sets the retail price with payments settling to its own Stripe account through a white-label storefront, checkout or API. Collection is at a Labcorp patient service center today, with branded at-home kits launching December 1, 2026; Karpa does not send phlebotomists to the home. The same brand can later add TRT, HRT, GLP-1 or peptide programs.

Getlabs: Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • Employed (W-2) mobile phlebotomists collect samples at the patient's home or office.
  • Booking through a portal, an API or a co-branded self-scheduling link.
  • Works with Labcorp, Quest, specialty labs or the partner's preferred lab.
  • Collects more than blood: urine, stool, vitals, EKGs and other in-home diagnostics, varying by region.
  • Public Trustpilot profile with over 1,400 reviews.

Limitations

  • Does not order tests or deliver results; the partner needs its own ordering clinicians and lab account.
  • Patient-facing scheduling is co-branded with Getlabs rather than fully under the partner's brand.
  • Service covers 34 states plus DC, with the rest listed as coming soon.

Getlabs or Karpa: Who Each Fits

When Getlabs fits

Getlabs is the stronger fit for an organization that already has its own ordering clinicians and lab relationship and needs blood draws and other samples collected at patients' homes or offices.

Getlabs, founded in 2018, runs a network of employed mobile phlebotomists who collect labs, vitals and other diagnostics at patients' homes or offices and deliver samples to Labcorp, Quest or a partner's lab. Businesses book visits through the Getlabs Portal, an API, or a co-branded self-scheduling link (Getlabs Link). Partners can subsidize the visit fee or pass it on to patients, and Getlabs also collects insurance information for the lab. Function Health announced on April 8, 2026 that it had acquired Getlabs so its members can book at-home and in-office draws.

When Karpa Health fits

Karpa is the stronger fit for a business without a medical license that wants to sell Labcorp testing under its own brand, set its own prices, and add prescription programs later.

Karpa Health runs an automated lab storefront under the partner's brand: patient intake, a licensed provider's order, Labcorp testing, and the Labcorp report in a branded patient portal. The partner sets prices, payments settle to the partner's own Stripe account, and a partner portal shows revenue, orders, lab results, custom panels and discount codes. No website build, medical license or LegitScript certification is needed for labs-only. Instead of the ready-made storefront, a business can add a white-label checkout and patient portal to its own website, or connect lab ordering to its own app or platform through Karpa's API. See how Karpa's lab storefront works.

Karpa's limitations

  • Branded at-home kits launch December 1, 2026; until then customers give samples at a Labcorp patient service center.
  • Labs-only storefront pricing is shared on a call rather than published.
  • Covers 47 states plus Washington DC; not available in Hawaii, Maine or North Dakota, where Labcorp has no patient service center.
  • Labcorp tests only: no specialty kit tests such as DUTCH or Genova.
  • Results are not reviewed by a provider by default; a provider reviews them only when the customer books a TRT or HRT consult.
  • Karpa's provider network orders every test, so a practice cannot order under its own clinicians' license.

Getlabs states it is not a laboratory and does not deliver test results.

Which labs does Getlabs work with, and where does it operate?

Getlabs delivers samples to Labcorp, Quest and specialty labs, or to a partner's preferred lab, and results go to the partner's EHR. Its locations page listed 34 states plus Washington DC in November 2026, with 16 more states marked as coming soon.

What are the alternatives to Getlabs for a business that wants to sell lab tests?

Getlabs handles collection only, so a business without its own ordering clinicians and lab account usually needs a platform that covers ordering as well. Options include white label lab platforms such as Karpa Health, where a licensed provider orders the test, Labcorp runs it, and the business sells it from its own branded storefront. The right choice depends on whether you already have clinicians and a lab account, and whether customers need a draw at home or can visit a lab.

Do I need a medical license to sell lab tests with Karpa?

No. A licensed provider in Karpa's independent network orders every test, so the business never orders or interprets labs. Labs-only needs no LegitScript certification, and Karpa's lab testing covers 47 states plus Washington DC.

How do I sell lab tests with Karpa?

Three ways: use Karpa's white-label lab storefront under your brand, add Karpa's lab ordering checkout and patient portal to your own website, or connect your own app or platform through Karpa's API. In each, a licensed provider in Karpa's network orders the test, Labcorp runs it, and payments settle to your own Stripe account.

How do customers give a sample with Karpa?

They walk in or book a time at a Labcorp patient service center. Branded at-home kits launch December 1, 2026, and from then, above a minimum order quantity, Tasso at-home collection devices can be white-labeled under your brand and sold as a subscription, such as a retest every quarter.
