Medical Courier Guide
Test one local clinic or lab route and obtain the actual vendor requirements packet before buying insurance or credentialing against a guess. This 26-page guide walks through calling a health system's supply-chain office to learn whether routes are already run in-house, why a truly local operator can beat an out-of-area courier on response time, and building sealed, documented handoffs into every pickup — plus seven working templates to run it with.

What It Covers
Confirm whether the anchor health system outsources routes at all, and obtain its vendor requirements packet — accepted insurance limits, credentialing, and training — before buying anything beyond what it specifies. Price route miles, drive time, stops, windows, and recurring volume together, since density is what makes a route profitable. Use sealed containers, documented handoffs, and client-approved procedures on every route, and never begin a pickup without approved packaging and privacy procedures in place. Use the startup, budget, and estimate templates plus the service agreement, invoice, route tracker, and compliance page for every account and route.
