Measurements of CA 125 may be considered medically necessary in patients with symptoms suggestive of ovarian cancer or in those with known ovarian cancer or in individual patients with other gynecologic malignancies, such as endometrial cancer, in whom baseline levels of CA 125 have been shown to be elevated.
Elevated cancer antigen 125 [CA 125] R97. 1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Medicare currently covers the use CA-125 for monitoring of response to therapy related to ovarian cancer. Based on this strong association between these two conditions, we believe that CA-125 testing is reasonable and necessary for monitoring response to therapy for PPC.

Overview. A CA 125 test measures the amount of the protein CA 125 (cancer antigen 125) in the blood. This test may be used to monitor certain cancers during and after treatment. In some situations, the test may be used to look for early signs of ovarian cancer in people with a very high risk of the disease.Mar 31, 2022
This test measures the amount of a protein called CA-125 (cancer antigen 125) in the blood. CA-125 levels are high in many women with ovarian cancer. The ovaries are a pair of female reproductive glands that store ova (eggs) and make female hormones.Sep 14, 2021
The normal range for CEA is 0 to 2.5 nanograms per milliliter of blood (ng/mL). If CEA levels remain elevated during treatment, your treatment may not have been as successful as hoped. Anything greater than 10 ng/mL suggests extensive disease, and levels greater than 20 ng/mL suggest the cancer may be spreading.Nov 29, 2021
Q: Will insurance cover OVA1®? A: Yes, we accept and bill all insurances.
A CA-125 blood test can cost $200 or more. An ultrasound costs $150 to $250. And surgery costs a lot more, especially if there are complications.
