M102.001 ICD-10 Diagnosis Codes CPT CODE: 84436 THYROXINE; TOTAL CPT CODE: 84439 THYROXINE; FREE CPT CODE: 84443 THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH) CPT CODE: 84479 THYROID HORMONE (T3 or T4) UPTAKE or thyroid hormone binding ratio (THBR)
TSH. Test Code 36127: For patients 1 year of age or older, Free T4 will be performed at an additional charge (CPT code(s): 84439) when TSH result exceeds age/gender specific reference range.

The thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) test measures the amount of TSH in the blood. The results convey how well a person’s thyroid is functioning. Doctors can use TSH test results to diagnose thyroid disorders, such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. The pituitary gland produces TSH, which is a hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland.
Abnormal results of thyroid function studies R94. 6 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
TSH is also used to evaluate patients who are suspected to have other thyroid disorders, such as goiter, thyroid nodule, thyroid cancer, Graves' disease, or Hashimoto's thyroiditis. These disorders can cause hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.

The Thyroid Panel with TSH is a group of blood tests that helps evaluate thyroid gland function and can help diagnose thyroid disorders. This group of tests measures the amount of thyroid hormones in the blood.
A TSH test is done to find out if your thyroid gland is working the way it should. It can tell you if it's overactive (hyperthyroidism) or underactive (hypothyroidism). The test can also detect a thyroid disorder before you have any symptoms. If untreated, a thyroid disorder can cause health problems.
