2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code Z11. 59: Encounter for screening for other viral diseases.
9 Unspecified viral hepatitis without hepatic coma.
A hepatitis panel typically includes: Hepatitis A antibody, IgM. Hepatitis B tesing: Hepatitis B core antibody, IgM and Hepatitis B surface Ag. Hepatitis C antibody.
The hepatitis virus panel is a series of blood tests used to detect current or past infection by hepatitis A, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C. It can screen blood samples for more than one kind of hepatitis virus at the same time. Antibody and antigen tests can detect each of the different hepatitis viruses.

Hepatitis B Surface Antigen: Positive samples will be confirmed based on the manufacturer's FDA approved recommendations at an additional charge (CPT code(s): 87341).
Medicare covers a Hepatitis C screening test if your primary care doctor or other qualified health care provider orders one and you meet one or more of these conditions: You're at high risk because you use or have used illicit injection drugs.
A blood test, called an HCV antibody test, is used to find out if someone has ever been infected with the hepatitis C virus. The HCV antibody test, sometimes called the anti-HCV test, looks for antibodies to the hepatitis C virus in blood.
The “Hepatitis B Panel” of Blood Tests HBsAg (Hepatitis B surface antigen) - A "positive" or "reactive" HBsAg test result means that the person is infected with hepatitis B. This test can detect the actual presence of the hepatitis B virus (called the “surface antigen”) in your blood.
For most people who are infected, the anti-HCV blood test will become positive by 6 months after exposure. A special kind of blood test called a nucleic acid test (NAT) that detects HCV RNA (also called a PCR test) can tell if a person is infected within 1–2 weeks of exposure.
An acute viral hepatitis panel detects evidence of the three most common types of hepatitis in the United States: hepatitis A, B, and C. Additional tests involved in diagnosing hepatitis and evaluating liver damage include a liver biopsy and imaging tests.
Non-viral hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that can cause scarring on the liver (cirrhosis), liver cancer, liver failure and death. There are three types of non-viral hepatitis: Toxic hepatitis is caused by chemicals, drugs (prescription and over-the-counter) and nutritional supplements.
HBsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen): when this is “positive” or “reactive,” it means the person is currently infected with hepatitis B and is able to pass the infection on to others.
Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver. The liver is a vital organ that processes nutrients, filters the blood, and fights infections. When the liver is inflamed or damaged, its function can be affected. Heavy alcohol use, toxins, some medications, and certain medical conditions can cause hepatitis.
After six months 70% to 85% of those infected will have failed to clear the virus spontaneously. After this period the hepatitis C virus enters what is known as the 'chronic phase'. This is when hepatitis C becomes a chronic or long-term infection.
