What is C-reactive protein high sensitive?

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is a marker of inflammation that predicts incident myocardial infarction, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, and sudden cardiac death among healthy individuals with no history of cardiovascular disease, and recurrent events and death in patients with acute or stable ...

Is CRP and hs-CRP the same?

Defining hs-CRP To illustrate the difference between CRP and hs-CRP, traditional testing measures CRP within the range of 10 to 1,000 mg/L, whereas hs-CRP values range from 0.5 to 10 mg/L. In simpler terms, hs-CRP measures trace amounts of CRP in the blood.

What is considered a high C-reactive protein level?

The hs-CRP test, or high-sensitivity CRP test, is a special CRP test that detects lower levels of CRP in the blood than the routine CRP lab test detects. The hs-CRP level is from 0.5–10 mg/L. Levels above 3 mg/L are considered high risk for developing cardiovascular disease.

What is the ICd 10 code for CRP?

When will ICD-10-CM R79.82 be effective?

The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R79.82 became effective on October 1, 2021.

What is CRP in medicine?

C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase reactant produced by the liver that has long been used to monitor inflammatory processes, such as infection and autoimmune diseases. Recent studies have suggested that low-level chronic inflammation may play a role in atherogenesis, and thus measurement of CRP has been investigated in various settings of cardiovascular disease, i.e., in patients with known cardiovascular disease, in patients with risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and as a general risk assessment tool for cardiovascular disease. To be used as a risk assessment tool, a greater precision at lower levels of CRP is needed such that the range of values collected in epidemiologic studies can be subdivided into quartiles and quintiles; in this way, the data from large epidemiologic studies can be applied to individual patients. Such technologies are collectively known as high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP).

Does inclusion of a code imply coverage?

Inclusion or exclusion of a code does not constitute or imply member coverage or provider reimbursement. Please refer to the member’s contract benefits in effect at the time of service to determine coverage or non-coverage as it applies to an individual member.

Is CRP a predictor of cardiovascular disease?

The existing observational evidence establishes that CRP is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease across a wide spectrum of patient populations. The evidence also suggests that using CRP as a component of a risk assessment tool will result in a more accurate cardiac risk prediction. While there is no scientific literature that directly tests the hypothesis that measurement of C-reactive protein to assess CHD risk results in improved patient outcomes, following discussion with local practitioners and a review of the existing literature, BCBSMA has determined that measurement of high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) for assessment of coronary artery disease risk in the patients described in the policy statement is medically necessary.
