It is the provider’s responsibility to select codes carried out to the highest level of specificity and selected from the ICD-10-CM code book appropriate to the year in which the service is rendered for the claim(s) submitted. The following ICD-10-CM codes support medical necessity and provide coverage for CPT codes: 85651 and 85652.
The following diagnosis codes listed with an asterisk should not be billed as the primary diagnosis: T39.4X5A, T39.4X5D, T39.4X5S, T45.1X5A, T45.1X5D, T45.1X5S, T45.8X5A, T45.8X5D, T45.8X5S, T50.6X5A, T50.6X5D, T50.6X5S, and Z85.71. ICD-10-CM Codes that DO NOT Support Medical Necessity

Results from your sed rate test will be reported in the distance in millimeters (mm) that red blood cells have descended in one hour (hr). The normal range is 0 to 22 mm/hr for men and 0 to 29 mm/hr for women. The upper threshold for a normal sed rate value may vary somewhat from one medical practice to another.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code R70. 0: Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
If an ESR is abnormally high, it means that the red blood cells fell faster than expected. This usually happens when the RBCs have more protein within them, which causes them to stick together. Many conditions can cause an ESR to become elevated.
Accordingly, a high or elevated sedimentation rate would correlate with more disease activity while a low sedimentation rate would suggest that the disease is less active.
A slow ESR may indicate a blood disorder, such as: Polycythemia. Sickle cell anemia. Leukocytosis, an abnormal increase in white blood cells.
ESR is measured in millimeters per hour (mm/h). The normal values are: 0 to 10 mm/h in children. 0 to 15 mm/h in men younger than 50.
C-reactive protein is a more sensitive and specific reflection of the acute phase of inflammation than is the erythrocyte sedimentation rate. In the first 24 hours of a disease process, the C-reactive protein will be elevated, whereas the erythrocyte sedimentation rate may be normal.
Inflammation and blood proteins Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and plasma viscosity (PV) blood tests are commonly used to detect increase in protein in the blood. In this way they are used as markers of inflammation.
Moderate sedation/analgesia (conscious sedation) Codes 99151-99157, is a drug-induced depression of consciousness during which patients respond purposefully to verbal commands, either alone or accompanied by light tactile stimulation.
The codes 99151-99153 require the conscious sedation service be provided by the same physician performing the diagnostic or therapeutic service, along with an independent trained observer to assist in monitoring the patient.
