The Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health oversees phlebotomist certification through its Clinical Laboratory Improvement Program. Phlebotomists working in licensed clinical laboratories in Nevada must hold a valid state certification. The requirement applies to individuals drawing blood for laboratory analysis in both hospital and outpatient settings.

To obtain a Nevada phlebotomist certification, applicants must complete a training program that includes a minimum of 20 hours of classroom instruction and successful completion of at least 50 supervised venipunctures. Applicants must submit a completed application, proof of training program completion, and payment of required fees to the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health. Certifications must be renewed biennially. National certifications such as the NHA CPT or ASCP PBT are recognized as meeting the educational and examination requirements, but applicants must still apply for the Nevada state credential.
