Our billing company is telling us that we cannot ever bill for an office visit with a venipuncture. They say that the 36415 is an add-on code. They have been writing them all off. I know about the 99211 and a veinpuncture but we often bill for the following example:
Patient presents with fatigue and the doctor wants to do blood work. We will charge a 99213 and a 36415.
Does anyone have any documentation stating that it is acceptable to bill for both the office visit and the venipuncture on the same visit? I understand that some insurance companies will bundle them but I am having a hard time finding any documentation on Trailblazer or Medicare stating that the 36415 is not an add-on code. Please let me know if we are doing this wrong! Thanks for any help!
