Coverage indications
This memorandum serves the purpose of addressing a request for adding codes for pre-operative examinations to the prothrombin time (PT) national coverage determination (NCD) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) NCD. CMS intends to alter the list of covered diagnoses for partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time tests by deleting the present line that reads V72.84 (Pre-operative examination, unspecified). We also intend to delete code V72.81 (Pre-operative cardiovascular examination) and V72.83 (Other specified pre-operative examination) from the list of covered codes for PTT.
Codes in this policy
Code numbers and each code’s status as the policy records it. CPT code descriptions are left out of this page, as are the passages that cite CPT codes; the official document has them.
Backwork has no codes on record for this policy. Check the source.
