My understanding is the 80050 - is made up of CMP and CBC

or

CBC and TSH

not all three tests.

Therefore you would need to code all three exam separately.:confused:

Is this true?
 
80050

80050 includes 80053, 85025, and 84443. If all three are performed then you would bill a 80050 if one or more is missing then you would bill only what was performed. There are a couple of codes that can be substituted for the 85025 (85027 and 85004 or 85027 and 85007 or 85009).
