What 99195 covers
CPT 99195 represents blood removal for a therapeutic purpose, such as reducing iron stores in a patient with hemochromatosis or lowering red cell mass in a patient with polycythemia. It is distinct from drawing a sample for laboratory analysis. A physician or office staff member may perform the procedure in an outpatient setting; when staff perform it, Medicare treats the service as incident-to and requires physician supervision for billing.
Document the treatment indication and that therapeutic blood removal was performed; recording the amount removed helps show the service provided. Report 99195 for the therapeutic procedure, not for each specimen tube or laboratory test. A CBC or hematocrit may be reported separately when performed as a distinct test. Medicare payment requires physician supervision when the service is performed incident-to.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

99195 billing questions
How is 99195 different from 36415?
99195 represents blood removal as treatment, such as for hemochromatosis or polycythemia. Code 36415 represents routine venous blood collection for testing.
Can a CBC or hematocrit be reported with 99195?
A CBC or hematocrit may be separately reported when the test is performed as a distinct service, such as monitoring blood counts. The test result alone does not establish that therapeutic phlebotomy was performed.
What documentation supports reporting 99195?
Document the therapeutic indication and that blood was removed as treatment. Including the amount removed helps describe the procedure performed.
Who may perform the procedure for Medicare billing?
The service is billed as incident-to and, when performed by staff, requires physician supervision.
Is 99195 reported for each tube collected?
No. The code represents therapeutic blood removal, not the number of diagnostic specimen tubes.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
