The reference range for prothrombin time is usually around 12–15 seconds; the normal range for the INR is 0.8–1.2. PT measures factors II, V, VII, X and fibrinogen.
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.

This topic discusses risk factors for warfarin-associated bleeding and poor international normalized ratio (INR) control and presents an approach to the management of a patient with warfarin-associated bleeding or an INR above the therapeutic range (ie, a supratherapeutic INR).
A prothrombin time (PT) is a test used to help detect and diagnose a bleeding disorder or excessive clotting disorder; the international normalized ratio (INR) is calculated from a PT result and is used to monitor how well the blood-thinning medication (anticoagulant) warfarin (Coumadin®) is working to prevent blood ...
Other specified abnormal findings of blood chemistryICD-10 code R79. 89 for Other specified abnormal findings of blood chemistry is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
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 ...
Description: Blood count; complete (CBC), automated (Hgb, Hct, RBC, WBC and platelet count) and automated differential WBC count.
The partial thromboplastin time (PTT; also known as activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)) is a screening test that helps evaluate a person's ability to appropriately form blood clots. It measures the number of seconds it takes for a clot to form in a sample of blood after substances (reagents) are added.
“HbA1c may be used for the diagnosis of diabetes, with values >6.5% being diagnostic.

Is self-testing covered by insurance? Medicare has approved PT/INR self-testing for patients taking warfarin (Coumadin) and who have mechanical heart valves, chronic atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism and hypercoagulable state.
It is covered under the physician fee schedule. Also note that the cost of the device and supplies is included in the payment for G0249 and therefore not separately billed to Medicare.
G0250: Physician review; interpretation and patient management of home INR testing for a patient with mechanical heart valve(s) who meets other coverage criteria; per 4 tests (does not require face-to-face).
