What the Indiana data shows for Phlebotomists

To practice as a phlebotomist in Indiana, the state licensing board requires 1,000 documented education or training hours, a passing score on a state-approved exam. A criminal history background check is also part of the application. The regulation sits under Indiana's professional licensing framework, which classifies the training track as "Certificate/Degree".

The initial price tag is $100 every 2 years. Continuing education is not a listed requirement for this profession in Indiana, so the annualized maintenance burden is lower than in states that mandate ongoing hours.

Indiana handles out-of-state credentials on a case-by-case basis instead of a standing reciprocity list.
