In order to bill Medicare for home care, the patient needs to have a Skilled Need in addition to being homebound, lab draws on their own would not be Medicare eligible.  I hope I am answering your question.

Hello – We are doing lab draws at assisted livings and billed Medicare and they are requesting reimbursement back.  Is anyone billing for this and getting paid?  How are you going about doing it?
