I am looking for a DX Code for "Elevated BNP".

Thanks in advance for any help!

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,
