    Wiki 36415 billable with Labs?

    I wondered if someone out there can help me find the guidelines that state the collection of the blood sample (36415) is not separately billable from the labs if they are performed in-house? We frequently have a payer deny 36415 as not separately reimbursable from the lab charges, but other...
