CRP testing is eligible for coverage as a diagnostic test for the detection and evaluation of infection, tissue injury, and inflammatory disease.
A c-reactive protein test measures the level of c-reactive protein (CRP) in your blood. CRP is a protein made by your liver. It's sent into your bloodstream in response to inflammation. Inflammation is your body's way of protecting your tissues if you've been injured or have an infection.
Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) R79. 82 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R79. 82 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Medicare does not cover hsCRP testing as a screening test for the general population or for monitoring response to therapy.
C-reactive protein (CRP) was discovered by Tillett and Francis in 1930. The name CRP arose because it was first identified as a substance in the serum of patients with acute inflammation that reacted with the "c" carbohydrate antibody of the capsule of pneumococcus.
A wide variety of inflammatory conditions can cause elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, including the following: autoimmune conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), lupus, and certain types of inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
R79.82ICD-10 code R79. 82 for Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
A high CRP test result is a sign of acute inflammation. It may be due to serious infection, injury or chronic disease. Your doctor will recommend other tests to determine the cause. Results for an hs-CRP test are usually given as follows: Lower risk of heart disease: hs-CRP level less than 2.0 mg/L.
If you already have an inflammatory disease then rising inflammatory markers may suggest a flare up or a poor response to a treatment; a decreasing inflammatory marker can mean a good response to treatment.
Encounter for screening for other metabolic disorders Z13. 228 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z13. 228 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.
CRP arises as a nonspecific response to tissue injury and inflammation.
CRP is a pentameric globulin with mobility near the γ zone. It is an acute phase reactant which rises rapidly, but nonspecifically in response to tissue injury and inflammation. It is particularly useful in detecting occult infections, acute appendicitis, particularly in leukemia and in postoperative patients.
