The measurement of BNP as part of cardiovascular risk assessment panels, consisting of various combinations of biochemical, immunologic, hematologic, and molecular tests, is considered screening when performed on an asymptomatic patient, and, as such, is not a Medicare benefit.
Article Guidance. The information in this article contains billing, coding or other guidelines that complement the Local Coverage Determination (LCD) for Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) Level L33422.
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) test is a blood test that measures levels of a protein called BNP that is made by your heart and blood vessels. BNP levels are higher than normal when you have heart failure.

89 and R06. 03. The code description was revised for ICD-10 codes I50. 1, I63.
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code R97 R97.
on patients with heart failure who presented to a heart failure clinic, BNP demonstrated 97% sensitivity and 84% specificity in the group with BNP values ≥76.4 pg/mL, which was more accurate in the diagnosis of heart failure than chest radiographs [14].
BNP and another heart-related hormone called an atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) work together to keep your veins and arteries widened, or dilated. This allows your blood to easily pass through and prevents clots from forming. BNP and ANP also help your kidneys more easily remove fluid and salt from your body.
Increases in BNP levels may be caused by intrinsic cardiac dysfunction or may be secondary to other causes such as pulmonary or renal diseases (e.g., chronic hypoxia). BNP tests are correlated with other measures of cardiac status such as New York Heart Association classification.

An ABN may be used for services which are likely to be non-covered, whether for medical necessity or for other reasons. Refer to CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 30, for complete instructions.
As a diagnostic test, BNP testing is not expected to be performed more than four times in a given year. See the “Indications and Limitations of Coverage” section (above) for frequency parameters for BNP testing to monitor the effectiveness of nesiritide therapy.
Effective from April 1, 2010, non-covered services should be billed with modifier –GA, -GX, -GY, or –GZ, as appropriate.
Please note that not all revenue codes apply to every type of bill code. Providers are encouraged to refer to the FISS revenue code file for allowable bill types. Similarly, not all revenue codes apply to each CPT/HCPCS code. Providers are encouraged to refer to the FISS HCPCS file for allowable revenue codes.
It is the responsibility of the provider to code to the highest level specified in the ICD-10-CM. The correct use of an ICD-10-CM code listed below does not assure coverage of a service. The service must be reasonable and necessary in the specific case and must meet the criteria specified in this determination.
The use of BNP for monitoring CHF is not covered.
You, your employees and agents are authorized to use CPT only as contained in the following authorized materials of CMS internally within your organization within the United States for the sole use by yourself, employees and agents. Use is limited to use in Medicare, Medicaid or other programs administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). You agree to take all necessary steps to insure that your employees and agents abide by the terms of this agreement.
B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a cardiac neurohormone produced mainly in the left ventricle. It is secreted in response to ventricular volume expansion and pressure overload, conditions often present in congestive heart failure (CHF).
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by dysfunction of the left, right, or both ventricles, which results in the impairment of the heart’s ability to circulate blood at the rate sufficient to maintain the metabolic needs of the peripheral tissues and various organs. B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is synthesized, stored, and released primarily by the ventricular myocardium in response to volume expansion and pressure overload, which are hemodynamic parameters in CHF. Used in conjunction with other clinical information, serum BNP concentrations parallel dyspnea in heart failure suggesting its usefulness as a neurohormonal index of progressive heart failure. Serum BNP, for the purposes of coverage, is considered a ‘point-of-service test (performed and immediately used in the disposition of patient care).
BNP measurements may be considered reasonable and necessary when used in combination with other medical data such as medical history, physical examination, laboratory studies, and chest x-ray.
Serum BNP, for the purposes of coverage, is considered a ‘point-of-service test (performed and immediately used in the disposition of patient care). Serum BNP, when used in conjunction with other clinical information, will be considered reasonable and necessary for the following:
However, the assessment of BNP level has not been shown to alter patient management. The BNP is not sufficiently sensitive to either preclude or necessitate any other evaluation or treatment in this group of patients. •Screening examinations are statutorily non-covered.
