I am looking for confirmation, as I read the cpt code description I can no longer bill the 36416 with the 83036/QW as it is inclusive to 83036?
description below:
83036
Hemoglobin; glycosylated (A1C)
Lay Description
These tests may also be known as HbA1C. A blood specimen is collected. Glycosylated hemoglobin levels reflect the average level of glucose in the blood over a three-month period. Methods may include high-performance liquid chromatography and ion exchange chromatography (83036) or FDA approved home monitoring device (83037).
Notes
Section Notes - 82963-83690 Chemistry: Glucosidase—Lipase - (82963-83690)
Chemistry: Glucosidase?Lipase
INCLUDES:
Clinical information not requested by the ordering physician
Mathematically calculated results
Quantitative analysis unless otherwise specified
Specimens from any source unless otherwise specified
Thoughts?
