Study Notes
Radiology Codes
- CPT Code range for Radiology Procedures is 70010-79999.
- Diagnostic Radiology: Reports services rendered for disease assessment to obtain definitive diagnoses.
- Diagnostic Ultrasound: Establishes diagnosis based on the study’s extent (complete, limited, or follow-up).
- Radiologic Guidance: Includes fluoroscopic guidance, CT, MRI guidance, requiring adherence to specific coding instructions.
- Breast Mammography: Codes are based on imaging device, screening vs. diagnostic, and whether the procedure is unilateral or bilateral. Screening mammograms are always bilateral, while diagnostic ones can vary.
- Bone and Joint Studies: Classified under codes 77071-77086.
- Radiation Oncology: Involves high-energy ionizing radiation for treating malignant neoplasms and nonmalignant conditions using modalities such as brachytherapy, hyperthermia, and teletherapy.
- Nuclear Medicine: Utilizes radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic imaging and therapy; specific codes exclude radium inclusion.
Pathology and Laboratory Codes
- CPT Code range for Pathology and Laboratory Procedures is 80047-89398.
- Organ or Disease Oriented Panels (80047-80081): Report panels of tests ordered together; all tests must be performed to use the panel code.
- Therapeutic Drug Assays (80145-80377): Tests to quantify specific prescribed drugs in blood; applicable to other sources like sputum and urine.
- Evocative/Suppression Testing Procedures (80400-80439): Tests that confirm or rule out disorders by injecting substances to assess endocrine gland function.
- Clinical Pathology Consultations (80500-80502): Pathologist consultations requested by attending physicians for interpretive judgment regarding test results.
- Urinalysis Procedures (81000-81099): Laboratory tests on body fluids such as urine and blood, performed under physician supervision.
- Molecular Pathology Procedures (81105-81408): Analysis of nucleic acids (DNA) to identify genetic conditions or histocompatibility antigens.
- Genomic Sequencing and Multianalyte Assays (81410-81599): Codes cover genetic sequencing on nucleic acids; all components of the procedures must be performed.
- Multianalyte Assays with Algorithmic Analyses (81490-81599): Use multiple results from various assays, including molecular assays.
- Chemistry Procedures (82009-84999): Tests on multiple specimen types (blood, stool, urine); 'analyte' refers to the substance tested.
- Hematology and Coagulation Procedures (85002-85999): Include blood counts and coagulation assessment.
- Immunology Procedures (86000-86849): Focus on antibodies produced against antigens like viruses and bacteria.
- Transfusion Medicine Procedures (86850-86999): Codes relevant for transfusion-related work; can be reported without involving transfusion.
- Microbiology Procedures (87003-87999): Include the identification of microorganisms on selective media across various microbiology disciplines.
- Postmortem Examination Procedures (88000-88099): Autopsy codes vary based on whether only gross or gross and microscopic examinations are performed.
- Cytopathology Procedures (88104-88199): Examine cervical and vaginal cells, reported via Bethesda and Non-Bethesda methods.
- Cytogenetic Studies (88230-88299): Involve pathology screenings and chromosome analyses.
- Surgical Pathology Procedures (88300-88399): Codes used for pathology diagnosis of specimens removed during surgery, categorized by levels.
- In Vivo Laboratory Procedures (88720-88749): Noninvasive procedures using laboratory instruments on the skin for measurements.
- Other Pathology and Laboratory Procedures (89049-89240): Miscellaneous laboratory codes not classified elsewhere.
- Reproductive Medicine Procedures (89250-89398): Relate to in vitro fertilization and reproductive tissue storage; can be used individually or in combinations.
