791. ICD-9-CM codes are used in medical billing and coding to describe diseases, injuries, symptoms and conditions. ICD-9-CM 790.99 is one of thousands of ICD-9-CM codes used in healthcare. Although ICD-9-CM and CPT codes are largely numeric, they differ in that CPT codes describe medical procedures and services.

Encounter for screening for other metabolic disorders The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z13. 228 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The adult annual exam codes are as follows: Z00. 00, Encounter for general adult medical examination without abnormal findings, Z00.
A screening code may be the first-listed code if the reason for the visit is specifically the screening exam. A screening Z code also may be used as an additional code if the screening is done during an office visit for other problems. A procedure code is required to confirm the screening was performed.

52 will replace Z11. 59 (Encounter for screening for other viral diseases), which the CDC previously said should be used when patients being screened for COVID-19 have no symptoms, no known exposure to the virus, and test results that are either unknown or negative.
The type and screen are the primary pre-transfusion tests performed. Testing includes the determination of patient's ABO group, RhD type, and a screen for the detection of atypical antibodies. Additional testing for red cell antibody identification is performed when atypical antibodies are detected.

85027 - Blood count; complete (CBC), automated (Hgb, Hct, RBC, WBC and platelet count)
When the automated results can not be reported, the test is not a true “reflex” situation. Thus when further testing must be completed in order to issue a report, CMS considers such further testing to be part of the required procedure required to fulfill the physician/NPP’s order. In such cases, only the testing ordered is billed.
It is inappropriate to report a confirmatory test separate from the ordered CBC test. For example, if a patient with leukemia has a low platelet count, and a manual platelet count is performed (85032), it is not appropriate to bill the 85032 in addition to the CBC ordered.
Code an automated CBC without a differential WBC count with CPT code 85027 (Complete [CBC] automated [Hgb, Hct, RBC, WBC and platelet count]).
What diagnosis will cover CBC? A complete blood count (CBC) is a blood test used to evaluate your overall health and detect a wide range of disorders, including anemia, infection and leukemia. A complete blood count test measures several components and features of your blood, including: Red blood cells, which carry oxygen.
Indications for a CBC or hemogram include red cell, platelet, and white cell disorders. Examples of these indications are enumerated individually below.
The complete blood count (CBC) includes a hemogram and differential white blood count (WBC). The hemogram includes enumeration of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, as well as the determination of hemoglobin, hematocrit, and indices.
National Coverage Determinations (NCDs) are national policy granting, limiting or excluding Medicare coverage for a specific medical item or service.
Indications for hemogram or CBC related to red cell (RBC) parameters of the hemogram include, in addition to those already listed, thalassemia, suspected hemoglobinopathy, lead poisoning, arsenic poisoning, and spherocytosis.
Specific indications for CBC with differential count related to the WBC include, in addition to those already listed, storage diseases/mucopolysaccharidoses, and use of drugs that cause leukocytosis such as G-CSF or GM-CSF.
Blood counts are used to evaluate and diagnose diseases relating to abnormalities of the blood or bone marrow. These include primary disorders such as anemia, leukemia, polycythemia, thrombocytosis and thrombocytopenia. Many other conditions secondarily affect the blood or bone marrow, including reaction to inflammation and infections, coagulopathies, neoplasms and exposure to toxic substances. Many treatments and therapies affect the blood or bone marrow, and blood counts may be used to monitor treatment effects.
When a blood count is performed for an end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patient, and is billed outside the ESRD rate , documentation of the medical necessity for the blood count must be submitted with the claim .
National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) edits have been established to promote correct coding and prevent inappropriate payments. For example, test codes 85027 and 85004 should not be billed along with code 85025 which represents the bundled testing service.
A complete blood count consists of measuring a blood specimen for levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Also, a differential white blood cell (WBC) count measures the percentages of different types of white blood cells.
For example, complete blood count (CBC) code 85025 has a CLFS amount of $10.58 for the state of Washington. The two-step SCH payment calculation is the following:
Billing modifiers can assist in reporting additional medically necessary CBC component test (s) or bundling testing service for the same patient on the same date of service, such as modifier -91 Repeat clinical laboratory test. Indications and Limitations.
A service or procedure on the “national non-coverage list” may be non-covered based on a specific exclusion contained in the Medicare law; for example, acupuncture; it may be viewed as not yet proven safe and effective and, therefore, not medically reasonable and necessary; or it may be a procedure that is always considered cosmetic in nature and is denied on that basis. The precise basis for a national decision to noncover a procedure may be found in references cited in this policy.
A service or procedure on the “local” list is always denied on the basis that Riverbend GBA does not believe it is ever “ medically reasonable and necessary”. Our list of local medical review policy exclusions contains procedures that, for example, are: experimental. not yet proven safe and effective.
Outpatient hospital lab tests must meet certain criteria to receive separate CLFS payment. If a lab test is the only service provided, or if it is clinically unrelated to the other services provided on the same day and ordered by a different practitioner, the lab HCPCS code must be appended with modifier L1 and reported with outpatient hospital bill type 13X for separate CLFS payment.
