Billing for Drawing Blood at Office

I have a private practice... I have some staff members that do blood draws and would like to start drawing blood here at the office mainly for Hepatic panel in order to rx fungal medications to patients we see. Are we able to actually bill out any codes if we have patients specifically coming in for hepatic panel bloodwork only? Last date seen: 2/1/24

For blood draws, any provider can bill CPT 36415.  It can be billed as a standalone code for a sample being sent to a lab where results will be discussed in a follow up visit for the management of the patient.
