What is a protime test?
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.
What diagnosis goes with PT INR?
A prothrombin time (PT) is a test used to help detect and diagnose a bleeding disorder or excessive clotting disorder; the international normalized ratio (INR) is calculated from a PT result and is used to monitor how well the blood-thinning medication (anticoagulant) warfarin (Coumadin®) is working to prevent blood ...

Are PT and PTT the same?
The prothrombin time (PT) test measures how quickly blood clots. The partial thromboplastin time (PTT) is mainly used to monitor a person's response to anticoagulant therapies.
What is the CPT code for prothrombin time?
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.

What are the diagnostic application of PTT?
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.
What is PT aPTT test?
The aPTT is one of several blood coagulation tests. It measures how long it takes your blood to form a clot. Normally, when one of your blood vessels is damaged, proteins in your blood called clotting factors come together in a certain order to form blood clots and quickly stop bleeding.

CMS has determined that two ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes: 786.50, Chest pain, unspecified and 786.51, Precordial pain, flow from the existing narrative for conditions for which a prothrombin time (PT) test is reasonable and necessary.

Categories Z40-Z53 are intended for use to indicate a reason for care. They may be used for patients who have already been treated for a disease or injury, but who are receiving aftercare or prophylactic care, or care to consolidate the treatment, or to deal with a residual state. Type 2 Excludes.
I. Decision
- CMS has determined that two ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes: 786.50, Chest pain, unspecified and 786.51, Precordial pain, flow from the existing narrative for conditions for which a prothrombin time (PT) test is reasonable and necessary. Consequently, CMS will add these two ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes to the list of “ICD-9-CM Codes Covered by the Medicare Pr...
II. Background
- The PT test is an in-vitro laboratory test used to assess the extrinsic or tissue factor dependent pathway. The test also evaluates the common coagulation pathway involving all the reactions that occur after the activation of factor X. Extrinsic pathway factors are produced in the liver and their production is dependent on adequate vitamin K activity. Deficiencies of coagulation factors ma…
III. History of Medicare Coverage
- In accordance with section 4554 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, CMS entered into negotiations with the laboratory community regarding coverage and administrative policies for clinical diagnostic laboratory services. As part of these negotiations, we promulgated a rule that included 23 NCDs. The rule was proposed in the March 10, 2000 edition of the Federal Register (…
IV. Timeline of Recent Activities
- On January 21, 2011, CMS received an external request to add ICD-9-CM diagnosis code 786.50, Chest pain, unspecified to the list of diagnosis codes covered by Medicare for the PT testing NCD, from the Clinical Laboratory Management Association (CLMA), submitted by their president, C. Anne Pontius. Dr. Pontius’ letter suggested that the addition of this code is consistent with the n…
v. General Methodological Principles
- During the negotiation meetings that led to the development of the 23 clinical diagnostic laboratory NCDs, we stated our intent that the narrative of the NCDs reflect the substance of the determinations. The addition of the coding lists was intended as a convenience to the laboratories and as a means of ensuring consistency among the Medicare claims processing contractors as …
VI. CMS Analysis
- The NCD includes the narrative Indications and Limitations below. We consider here whether prothrombin testing for chest pain flows from this narrative. Indications 1. A PT may be used to assess patients taking warfarin. The prothrombin time is generally not useful in monitoring patients receiving heparin who are not taking warfarin. 2. A PT may be used to assess patients …
