Nursing Visit

Are the pratices billing out nursing visit of 99211 when patient comes in for a lab draw or just the 36415/99000?

lab draw

The nurses visit implies a service was rendered above and beyond the lab draw and was medically necessary.

Definitely no

Blood draws cannot be billed with a nurse visit. A protime check and warfarin adjustment with proper documentation can be billed with a nurse visit. We gave up on 99000- no one pays.
