Hello! I hope someone has an answer to my question. I work for a large medical group that is part of a managed care network. This question came up today and here is the scenario. A patient presents for lab work and a blood draw (CPT 36415) is performed. The patient is not seen by a nurse or a provider, but is only seen by the phlebotomist. Since CPT 36415 is considered a procedure, to be in compliance does any governing authority require the blood draw to be signed off?
