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 Medicare patient's responsibility?
The patients responsibility is the dollar amount indicated on the MRN (Medicare Remittance Notice) due to the doctor (rendering provider). This amount is typically 20% that Medicare does NOT cover, and solely the responsibility of the patient when one has Medicare as their primary health insurance carrier, and NO supplemental or secondary insurance. By law the patient MUST pay this 20% co-pay amount indicated by Medicare. The patients responsibility amount may vary according to the level of visit, or deductible due, all indicated by their insurance. If a Medicare member has any questions regarding how much they owe to a doctor at any time, they should call the number located on the back of their Medicare identification card.
