Hi,

I have a friend that is getting labs done to rule out Hashimoto's disease and am wondering if someone could give me CPT codes for the following tests... since labs aren't my area of expertise, I thought I'd reach out and see if anyone could help.

Thank you in advance!

C-Peptides
Viral Load (specific to copper in the urine)
Salivary Hormone Test
Stool Test (specifically liver and kidneys)
 
Hi Naomi,

These would not be the typically tests that we would see to rule out Hashimoto's. Additionally, to determine the CPT coding for lab, many time we need the actual methodology of the testing from the lab. I have attached a link to ARUP's website that will provide not only a clinical consult but also testing algorithms. It may be me, but the tests you are listing above are ones that we typically see in the naturopathic medicine world.... best of luck...
