From a CPT perspective, collection of the specimen by venipuncture or finger/heel/ear stick is not considered an integral part of the laboratory procedure performed and, thus, may be coded separately. 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.

The term syringe actually refers to the type of fluid that is in encased in the reservoir of the syringe. However, the function of a syringe is either to pull or push liquid from that reservoir.
