Hi Teresa -
I just asked one of the hospitalists I work with and he said that means heart failure.

I would use 790.99, nonspecific findings on examination of blood. I could not find anything specific to BNP elevation.
Hi,
I would agree with Scatlot, the appropriate code for Elevated BNP is 790.99.
Plasma BNP - Brain natriuretic peptide is a 32- amino acid polypeptide and an increase in plasma BNP (greater than 100 pg per mL) is a marker for CHF
Hope this helps you.
Thank You,

Abnormal, findings, pro-brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)
I agree with 790.99 as well.
