Hello! I own a billing service, and a woman just contacted me for help in starting a phlebotomy service that will collect specimens from homebound patients. When I checked Medicare's website, I found the CPT Code 36415 and HCPCS codes P9612, but I don't find 36415 in their fee schedule (although it's in the AAPC CPT manual). Code 36410, however, seems to be the same code, just a different number. Can someone clear this up for me? Is 36415 been changed to 36401? Or is something else going on? Thanks!
 
36415 is the correct code and it should be on the Lab fee schedule. I think they pay $3.00.
36410 has to be done by a physician because of circumstances that it takes special skill, not for routine venipuncture.
