BNP Test (CPT 83880) One of the below diagnosis must be present to support medical necessity for B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) Testing.
BNP levels go up when the heart cannot pump the way it should. A result greater than 100 pg/mL is abnormal. The higher the number, the more likely heart failure is present and the more severe it is. Sometimes other conditions can cause high BNP levels.
82947 is included in the BMP code. You should be using 80048 for your BMP code and that it is it.
Other specified abnormal findings of blood chemistry R79. 89 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. 89 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) test gives your provider information about how your heart is working. This blood test measures the levels of a protein called BNP in your bloodstream. When your heart has to work harder to pump blood, it makes more BNP. Higher levels of BNP can be a sign of heart failure.
BNP increases when cardiac myocytes are strained; therefore, BNP is an effective method for detecting heart failure with or without systolic dysfunction.
From ICD-10: For encounters for routine laboratory/radiology testing in the absence of any signs, symptoms, or associated diagnosis, assign Z01. 89, Encounter for other specified special examinations.
