Hey All,

I need some help.

1. What CPT code(s) would we use when a patient comes to the office to submit a urine sample that we send off to the lab?

2. What CPT code(s) do we use when a patient comes in for a lab draw and we take a urine sample as well and send both to the lab?

Thanks!!!!
 
codes

81002 for the urine sample.

81002 for the urine sample, and for the lab draw ..what type? blood work?
 
The 81002 is for a urin dip test not for collecting a urin sample. You can use the 99000 but only if there is a cost for the physician office to collect and transport the specimen to the lab otherwise I would just use a nurse visit. As for the other specimen if you are drawing blood you can bill for the venipuncture code 36415.
