Wiki labs and venipuncture

Labs are not my area of expertise, so I need help with this:

office bills 36415 rather than labs, is this appropriate???

Office bills 36415 and lab codes (i.e. 80050, 80061, etc); is this appropriate?

Thanks

if you send the labs out it is appropriate to bill only the 36415
if you process the labs in house it is appropriate to bill the 36415 and the lab codes
if you pay the lab and they do not file the claim it is appropriate to bill both
