For the last few years we have been billing BCBSNC 99000 lab handling fee & 36415 venipuncture. BCBS would pay 99000 but deny 36415. In the last few months, both codes have been getting denied. I just found out that BCBS changed their Corporate Reimbursement Policy to say that 36415, 36416 & 99000 are all codes that are now considered inclusive to the primary procedure & not reimbursed separately....so basically we get reimbursed $0 for a blood draw!! Is anyone else having this problem?
