I’m seeing lots of conflicting information in regards to coding an E/M with modifier 25 and coding a 36415 (Venipuncture). I would like some clarification/advice on this, is this the proper way to bill/code for this type of visit.
Thanks,
Daphne

Venipunctures are performed in various departments of the hospital. Medicare guidelines state that you are to report the charge with the revenue code for where you will be claiming those costs on the cost report. My question is……Do you have multiple charge codes for CPT 36415 in your chargemaster with the various rev codes (ex: 0450 in ER and 0300 in lab) or do you use 0300 for all of them?
Thank you!
