National Coverage Determination Procedure Code: 85610 Prothrombin Time (PT) CMS Policy Number: 190.17 Back to NCD List Description:Basic plasma coagulation function is readily assessed with a few simple laboratory tests: the Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT), Prothrombin Time (PT), Thrombin Time (TT), or a quantitative fibrinogen determination.
The PT NCD includes in the list of covered ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes code V72.84, pre-operative examination, unspecified.

A: When physicians use a prothrombin time test (reported with CPT code 85610) to monitor patients on anticoagulant drugs, Medicare pays the entity that performed the test. Its payment for the test is based on the geographically specific laboratory test fee schedule.
The prothrombin time, sometimes referred to as PT or pro time test, is a test to evaluate blood clotting. Prothrombin is a protein produced by your liver. It is one of many factors in your blood that help it to clot appropriately.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) today expanded Medicare coverage for home blood testing of prothrombin time (PT) International Normalized Ratio (INR) to include beneficiaries who are using the drug warfarin, an anticoagulant (blood thinner) medication, for chronic atrial fibrillation or venous ...
Patient has an INR test at a lab in the office or at the point of care and follows up with a visit to discuss results. Report CPT codes 85610 (prothrombin time) and 93793. Patient presents for an office visit during which the physician also discusses INR monitoring.
'Subtherapeutic INR levels' means that the patient is underwarfarinised, therefore as per ACS 0303 the correct code to assign is D68. 8 Other specified coagulation defects.

twice in one dayThis code may be billed twice in one day under unusual circumstances. You must append modifier -91 (see full description in CPT) to the second procedure.
Description: Blood count; complete (CBC), automated (Hgb, Hct, RBC, WBC and platelet count) and automated differential WBC count.
A PTT may be used to assess the risk of thrombosis or hemorrhage in patients who are going to have a medical intervention known to be associated with increased risk of bleeding or thrombosis.
Definition. Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) is a blood test that looks at how long it takes for blood to clot. It can help tell if you have a bleeding problem or if your blood does not clot properly. A related blood test is prothrombin time (PT) .

The PTT is used primarily to investigate unexplained bleeding or clotting. It may be ordered along with a prothrombin time (PT/INR) to evaluate the process that the body uses to form blood clots to help stop bleeding.
This memorandum serves the purpose of addressing a request for adding codes for pre-operative examinations to the prothrombin time (PT) national coverage determination (NCD) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) NCD.
