The CPT code for routine venipuncture is 36415, and the CPT code for finger/heel/ear stick is 36416. Venipuncture: In the smallest patients, venipuncture is accomplished using a 1cc syringe with a 25 or 28g needle, or an insulin syringe. Remember to remove the needle before putting the blood into tubes or on your slide to make smears. Use a hemostat to remove the needle from an insulin syringe.
