Please help. I am an office manager and my billing department does not want to bill a code that they know will not be paid. As a CPC and office manager, it is important to me for us to be accurate in all that we do and to me that includes billing procedures we perform, but may not be paid for. For instance, 36415 is not always paid by some payors. But, at the end of the year I would like to run a report telling me how many venipunctures we performed. I have also been a coding instructor, but I can not find this in writing. I also feel that it is dishonest to only bill what will be paid. I hope I am making sense and would welcome any advice. And, if I am wrong I will admit it to the billing department. Thanks!
