Can a medical assistant apply for a phlebotomy tech position or would they need additional training?

If you work for a doctors office, he may train and direct you to perform phlebolotmies as part of the office flow although officially legally you are falling under his liability insurance is something bad were to happen. Also, you may even perform uncomplicated lab tests (urine dipstick, pregnancy test, H&H, and a few others) but if he bills medicare or insurance companies for these services, the doctor is supposes to be ensuring that the testers are certified and that the statndards of testing are being certified by CLIA. However, a lot of doctors offices do it without any certifications and get away with it because of little financial ability to enforce these requlations.
