Does Medicare pay for routine venipunctures?
It depends on how the service is coded on the bill the doctor's office submits to Medicare for payment. If it is coded "routine venipuncture (36415)", Medicare will pay $0. Medicare Supplemental insurance will also pay $0, since Medicare denied the claim for this service. The patient will be responsible for paying the full amount, typically around $20-25. However, if it is coded "routine venipuncture for collection of specimen (G0001)", Medicare will pay the doctor, usually around $3, and the patient's responsibility will be $0. It helps if you ask your doctor or doctor's nurse to check to make certain the procedure is coded as G0001.

What is the coding for obstetrics including items covered by the global fee for antepartum and postpartum periods of normal pregnancy?
One of the unusual aspects of OB is the global fee that encompasses the antepartum, delivery, and postpartum period of normal pregnancy. The initial blood history, physical examination, blood pressure, weight, fetal heart tones, routine analysis, and monthly visits up to twenty-eight weeks gestation, biweekly visits, thirty-six weeks gestation, and weekly visits until delivery are all included in antepartum care. Delivery services should include hospital admission with history and physical, the management of uncomplicated labor, and the vaginal pr cesarean delivery. Episiotomy and use of forceps are also included. Any medical complications should be coded separately. Normal, uncomplicated and hospital and office visits for six weeks following vaginal or cesarean section delivery are included in postpartum care. It is not unusual for a patient to have more than one physician to provide complete obstetrics care due to extended length of care of the OB patient. If a physician provides part or all of the antepartum and postpartum care, but does not perform delivery due to referral to another physician or termination of pregnancy by abortion, the antepartum and postpartum care CPT coded 59409-59410 and 59414-59430 should be used.
