Hello: I work with a small family planning practice in Florida. It is commonplace for women to have an annual exam and then come back the next day to get fasting blood drawn, prepared, and sent to Quest by our LPN or medical assistants.
We are unsure if we can bill for these stand-alone blood draws. We have attempted to find the best way to submit using different combinations of cpt codes. There doesn't seem to be any consistency with reimbursement.
These are the options we have been trying:
99211 and 36415
36415 alone
36415 and 99000
I'm grateful for any feedback.
Please know that 1) the vast majority of our insured patients have BCBS Florida and 2) 50% of our patients are uninsured and are charged $13 for their blood draws.
