There is another urine test called Urine culture (culturing of bacteria found in urine) which is used to find out any infection. CPT Codes for Urinalysis is found in section “Pathology and Laboratory” of CPT book, CPT code for Urinalysis ranges from 80047 – 89398 Do not report CPT 81005 if there is immunoassay or biochemical test is used.

Healthcare providers often use urinalysis to screen for or monitor certain common health conditions, such as liver disease, kidney disease and diabetes, and to diagnose urinary tract infections (UTIs).

The urinalysis included an automated dipstick reading along with an evaluation of the urine sediment. Urine culture was performed using routine techniques and was considered positive for UTI if 100,000 or more colonies of one or two species of bacteria per mL of urine were found.
Medicare benefits for clinical diagnostic laboratory tests Urinalysis is one of the laboratory services covered under Part B. Medicare benefits also include blood tests, screening tests and some tissue specimen testing.

Medicare Coverage for Urinalysis Diagnostic tests like a urinalysis are typically covered under Medicare Part B. In order to qualify for Medicare Part B coverage, a urinalysis must be deemed as medically necessary and ordered by an approved physician.
The CPT code for urinalysis are CPT 81000 – CPT 81099 and used to report different methods. Underneath an explanation of the urinalysis procedure, the CPT codes for urinalysis, billing guidelines and reimbursement.
It is common practice to do a urinalysis prior to a urine culture. CPT code 81000-81003 are used for dip stick urinalysis.
CPT code 36415 code is used to report routine venipunctures (and for Medicare only, the collection of urine by catheter) Medicare pays a flat rate of $3.00 for HCPCS code 36415 and does not cover CPT capillary blood collection (CPT code 36416).

CMS has determined that Coding Guideline 1 in the Urine Culture, Bacterial National Coverage Determination (NCD) is obsolete. Recent revisions of several of the IDC-9-CM codes in the annual ICD-9-CM updates and changes in the covered codes list related to pre-operative examination have superseded the information in Coding Guideline 1.
This coding analysis does not constitute a national coverage determination (NCD). It states the intent of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to issue a change to the coding guidelines that are linked to the negotiated laboratory NCD for urine culture, bacterial.
Infections affecting stuctures participating in the secretion and elimination of urine: the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder and urethra. Inflammatory responses of the epithelium of the urinary tract to microbial invasions. They are often bacterial infections with associated bacteriuria and pyuria.
if you think you have a uti, it is important to see your doctor. Your doctor can tell if you have a uti by testing a sample of your urine. Treatment with medicines to kill the infection will make it better, often in one or two days.

Symptoms include urinary urgency and frequency, burning sensation during urination, lower abdominal discomfort, and cloudy urine.
In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
