Coverage indications
CMS has determined that Coding Guideline 1 in the Urine Culture, Bacterial National Coverage Determination (NCD) is obsolete. Recent revisions of several of the IDC-9-CM codes in the annual ICD-9-CM updates and changes in the covered codes list related to pre-operative examination have superseded the information in Coding Guideline 1. We will delete Coding Guideline 1 from the Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory Services NCD Coding Policy Manual in a future update.
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.
