A positive antinuclear antibodies, or ANA, test result can change to negative, especially in people who have short-term viral infections, according to the American College of Rheumatology. However, even a positive ANA test does not mean that the person tested has an autoimmune disease.

CPT Code: ANA 86038; ANA titer 86039; Positive ANA ICD-9 Code: 795.79 ICD-10 Code: Raised antibody titer R76.0; Abnormal immunological finding in serum, unspecified R76.9 Description: Autoantibodies that react with various components of the cell nucleus are called ANAs.
R76. 0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
R76. 8 converts approximately to one of the following ICD-9-CM codes: 795.6 - False positive serological test for syphilis. 795.79 - Other and unspecified nonspecific immunological findings.
710.0The ICD-9-CM codes included: 710.0 (SLE); 695.4 (lupus erythematosus, discoid); 710.8 (other specified diffuse diseases of connective tissue); 710.9 (unspecified diffuse connective tissue disease).

A negative test for ANA may assist health care providers by decreasing the likelihood that a patient's symptoms are caused by an autoimmune disease. Some individuals, even those without a relative with autoimmune disease, may have a positive test for ANA and yet never develop any autoimmune disease.
If your doctor says your ANA test is “positive,” that means you have antinuclear antibodies in your blood — but it doesn't necessarily mean you have lupus. In fact, a large portion of patients with a positive ANA do not have lupus. Diagnosing lupus is like putting together a puzzle.

A screening colonoscopy should be reported with the following International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition (ICD-10) codes: Z12. 11: Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of the colon.
ICD-10-CM Code for Encounter for preprocedural laboratory examination Z01. 812.
From ICD-10: For encounters for routine laboratory/radiology testing in the absence of any signs, symptoms, or associated diagnosis, assign Z01. 89, Encounter for other specified special examinations.
In our laboratory, an ANA titer of 1:640 is defined as a “high titer” because of a 0.5% prevalence of positives in normal individuals. Therefore, we divided the patients into a high titer group (≥1:640) and low titer group (<1:640).
The presence of antinuclear antibodies is a positive test result. But having a positive result doesn't mean you have a disease. Many people with no disease have positive ANA tests — particularly women older than 65.
Pattern on the antinuclear antibody-HEp-2 test is a critical parameter for discriminating antinuclear antibody-positive healthy individuals and patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases. Arthritis Rheum.
Neoplastic diseases may cause positive ANA. Some authors have described that ANA is found in the sera from lung, breast, head and neck cancer patients as frequently as in RA and SLE 3, 4, 5. Chapman et al. 6 has suggested that in breast cancer they may be used as an aid to early diagnosis.
