Venipunccture

(1/1)

Ruthie1972:
Hello,
we are setting up phlebotomists for our company with our existing customers,
Some of the tests for example are going to be 00468, 09119, 00443, 0076, 00806.

When we are sending these to Medicaid/Medicare for billing do we also add a venipuncture code?

if there is a special circumstance like finger, scalp, etc will the phlebotomist have to choose an add on code and supply documentation from the APRN?

thank you

Michele:
If the phlebotomist is drawing the blood and then you are performing the tests and billing is all being done under the group name, EIN and NPI then yes, you would bill for the venipuncture and the tests.
