Dental practices are becoming interested in performing certain types of medical screenings for their patients. I am interested in knowing if the coding is correct for the following tests:
CPT Code ICD-9 Code(s)
HbA1c & BGT 36415 (blood draw, V77.1 Special screening for endocrine,
when sample is sent to lab) nutritional, metabolic, and immunity
disorders: Diabetes mellitus (if
patient has not been diagnosed with
Diabetes)
If the patient has been diagnosed with
Diabetes, contact the patients primary
care provider for the appropriate
Diabetes diagnosis code.
Other possible additional codes:
278.00 obesity
278.01 morbid obesity
V12.50 personal history of unspecified
circulatory disease
CRP 36415 (blood draw) V77.91 Screening for lipoid disorders (use for
(When sample is sent to lab) most patients)
Other possible codes same as above
BANA 86003 V49.89 Other specified conditions influencing
health status
DNA 87800 V49.89
HPV 87621 V73.81 Special screening examination for
Human papillomavirus
Vizilite 82397 V76.42 Special screening for malignant
neoplasms, oral cavity
Saliva Bio- 40899 (include narrative V76.42
Marker to describe the test)
HIV 86703 with 92 modifier V73.89 Special screening for other specified
viral diseases, or V08 Asymptomatic HIV
infection status (if the results are
positive but the patient is
asymptomatic), or 042 HIV disease, with
codes for the HIV-related manifestations
or conditions (if the results are positive
and the patient exhibits symptoms)
I would greatly appreciate some help with this. Thanks so much, Marianne
