Wiki medicare accepted codes for lab test 82784

82784

If there is a deficiency we know what to code but if it is done as a preventative we are not sure if it will be covered:confused:
 
If the intent is a screening then it must be coded as a screening regardless of the findings or coverage. If the patient is currently being treated with medications and the test is ordered due to the medications the it is coded as therapeutic drug monitoring (V58.83) with the long term drug code (V58.6- )
