The PTT test is an in vitro laboratory test used to assess the intrinsic coagulation pathway and monitor heparin therapy. HCPCS Codes (Alphanumeric, CPT AMA) Code Description 85730 Thromboplastin time, partial (PTT); plasma or whole blood ICD-10-CM Codes Covered by Medicare Program
Elevated partial thromboplastin time; Elevated prothrombin time; Partial thromboplastin time increased; Prothrombin time increased; ICD-10-CM R79.1 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v 38.0): 947 Signs and symptoms with mcc; 948 Signs and symptoms without mcc; Convert R79.1 to ICD-9-CM. Code History
1.
'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.
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 .

R79. 1 - Abnormal coagulation profile | ICD-10-CM.
1. Less than adequately treated. 2. Taking a drug with a blood level below a desired treatment range. Patients using warfarin for atrial fibrillation, for example, have subtherapeutic anticoagulation when their international normalized ratio (INR) is below 2.0.
Code R53. 83 is the diagnosis code used for Other Fatigue. It is a condition marked by drowsiness and an unusual lack of energy and mental alertness. It can be caused by many things, including illness, injury, or drugs.

Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) R79. 82 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. 82 became effective on October 1, 2021.
020321: Prothrombin Time (PT) and Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) | Labcorp.
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.
A laboratory should bill CPT code 80048, (basic metabolic panel), when coding for a calcium, carbon dioxide, chloride, creatinine, glucose, potassium, sodium, and urea nitrogen performed as automated multi channel tests.
An extended aPTT can be seen in acquired deficiencies of factors II, IX, and X that result from vitamin K deficiency or the use of anticoagulants that block vitamin K-dependent production of procoagulant factors. These conditions also affect the level of factor VII, an extrinsic pathway factor.
The aPTT reagent consisting of silica mixed with synthetic phospholipid is mixed with the patient plasma. The silica provides a negatively-charged particulate surface for the activation of the contact pathway of coagulation. Calcium chloride is then added to the sample/reagent mixture to initiate clot formation. The time to clot formation is measured photo-optically.
The aPTT is sensitive to deficiency or inhibition of factors in the intrinsic pathway. These include the contact factors; high molecular weight kininogen (HMWK), prekallikrein, and factor XII along with procoagulant factors XI, IX, VIII. The aPTT is less sensitive to deficiencies of X, V, prothrombin, and fibrinogen. 1 Nonspecific, lupus-type anticoagulants can also extend the aPTT, but the more sensitive aPTT-LA test should be used to screen for this condition.
A discard tube is not required prior to collection of coagulation samples unless the sample is collected using a winged (butterfly) collection system. With a winged blood collection set a discard tube should be drawn first to account for the dead space of the tubing and prevent under-filling of the evacuated tube.
In all of these cases, the heparin anti-Xa assay may be more appropriate for monitoring heparin therapy. The aPTT should not be used for therapeutic monitoring of low molecular weight heparin or danaparoid. 7,8.
