The ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index is designed to allow medical coders to look up various medical terms and connect them with the appropriate ICD codes. There are 0 terms under the parent term 'Prothrombin Time' in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index . See Code: D68.52

'Subtherapeutic INR levels' means that the patient is underwarfarinised, therefore as per ACS 0303 the correct code to assign is D68. 8 Other specified coagulation defects.
A: When physicians use a prothrombin time test (reported with CPT code 85610) to monitor patients on anticoagulant drugs, Medicare pays the entity that performed the test. Its payment for the test is based on the geographically specific laboratory test fee schedule.
The prothrombin time (PT) test measures how quickly blood clots. The partial thromboplastin time (PTT) is mainly used to monitor a person's response to anticoagulant therapies. The international normalized ratio (INR) calculation helps ensure that PT test results are standardized and accurate.
A PTT may be used to assess the risk of thrombosis or hemorrhage in patients who are going to have a medical intervention known to be associated with increased risk of bleeding or thrombosis.

Patient has an INR test at a lab in the office or at the point of care and follows up with a visit to discuss results. Report CPT codes 85610 (prothrombin time) and 93793. Patient presents for an office visit during which the physician also discusses INR monitoring.
Z79. 01 Long term (current) use of anticoagulants - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
What is a prothrombin time test with an INR (PT/INR)? A prothrombin time (PT) test measures how long it takes for a clot to form in a blood sample. An INR (international normalized ratio) is a type of calculation based on PT test results. Prothrombin is a protein made by the liver.
The prothrombin time (PT) w/INR test measures the length of time it takes for a blood clot to form in a sample of blood. Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) test is ordered when someone has unexplained bleeding or clotting.
An INR test measures the time for the blood to clot. It is also known as prothrombin time, or PT. It is used to monitor blood-thinning medicines, which are also known as anticoagulants. The INR, or international normalised ratio, can also be used to check if you have a blood clotting problem.
Definition. Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) is a blood test that looks at how long it takes for blood to clot. It can help tell if you have a bleeding problem or if your blood does not clot properly. A related blood test is prothrombin time (PT) .
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) today expanded Medicare coverage for home blood testing of prothrombin time (PT) International Normalized Ratio (INR) to include beneficiaries who are using the drug warfarin, an anticoagulant (blood thinner) medication, for chronic atrial fibrillation or venous ...

The PTT is used primarily to investigate unexplained bleeding or clotting. It may be ordered along with a prothrombin time (PT/INR) to evaluate the process that the body uses to form blood clots to help stop bleeding.
Values obtained with different assay methods should not be used interchangeably in serial testing. It is recommended that only one assay method be used consistently to monitor each patient's course of therapy. This procedure does not provide serial monitoring; it is intended for one-time use only.
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.

Blue-top (sodium citrate) tube; do not open tube unless plasma is to be frozen.
Blood should be collected in a blue-top tube containing 3.2% buffered sodium citrate. 1 Evacuated collection tubes must be filled to completion to ensure a proper blood-to-anticoagulant ratio. 2,3 The sample should be mixed immediately by gentle inversion at least six times to ensure adequate mixing of the anticoagulant with the blood.
Specimens are stable at room temperature for 24 hours. If testing cannot be completed within 24 hours, specimens should be centrifuged for at least 10 minutes at 1500xg; plasma should then be transferred to a LabCorp PP transpak frozen purple tube with screw cap (LabCorp N° 49482). Freeze immediately and maintain frozen until tested.
The PT test may not be sensitive to slight deficiencies of single factors. 9 Heparin can extend the PT. 9 Lupus anticoagulants may affect prothrombin time producing results that do not accurately reflect the true level of anticoagulation.

This test, when ordered on Medicare patients, is subject to the National Coverage Determination ( NCD ) policies. Please verify that the diagnosis code ( ICD code) you have chosen demonstrates medical necessity for the test as documented in the physician’s patient record. The CMS web site is available to assist you with this verification.
