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.

A medical biller need to know everything about how Medicare works because if a procedure or office visit is not coded and submitted according to their rules, Medicare will not pay for it.

Does Medicare pay for myofascial release?
"Because the procedure involves deep tissue mobilization to the fascia, it should be coded as 97140 (manual therapy techniques [e.g., mobilization/manipulation, manual lymphatic drainage, manual traction], one or more regions, each 15 minutes).Prior to Jan. 1999, myofascial release had its own code (97250), which was deleted and grouped into 97140. Because 97250 is no longer applicable or listed in CPT, some coders erroneously believe that HCFA has discontinued reimbursement. Although the descriptor for 97140 does not specifically list myofascial release as one of the payable options, most local Medicare carriers recognize it as reimbursable."
