Looking for a draw site or phlebotomy service that will draw for an Igenex kit. Any suggestions?

You might call Igenex directly and ask which labs in your neighborhood might have shipped to them before and if they have any guidance on the best one for your area - or for your insurance (even if insurance might not cover testing, they might cover the lab draw).

Also see the specific blood draw, prep and shipping instructions at IGenex website. Must be collected and shipped overnight and no later than Wednesday, usually.

And keep in mind ahead so that preparation / shipping is the best it can be:

Jessica,

Glad you found a site. Unless you were about to get that blood drawn & shipped out overnight delivery be sure to wait until NEXT WEEK. It's too late in the week now for a blood draw to be sent and tested in enough time before the weekend break.

The IGenex link is now connecting so ask them any other questions.

IGenex

Your posting name - Also, consider the fact that, with Google, you name and town, it's easy to find your home phone and address. That puts you at risk in several ways.
