CBR & Placenta retrieval for stem cell testing

Good morning! At delivery, patient had a "Lifebank USA" kit for Cord Blood Retrieval AND the entire placenta for collection. We understand it's a private pay deal between lab and patient for testing, but it's quite an ordeal (3 pages of instructions) to do this to their specs- We want to know if we can bill for the COLLECTION of the samples, & be compensated for time, effort & paperwork involved. Any ideas on coding? THANKS!!
