I'll try to convince my sister to take the tester version of her Allure Sensuelle. After all, she doesn't need the perfume's retail box, which she throws away anyway.

Depending on the next step, you have two options. Question: Our vascular office carries out blood draws and analysis for a local hospital. Can we bill for a lab draw in an office setting, and if so, what codes should we go for?
