2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code R79. 82: Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP)
Currently, CRP (CPT code 86140) is covered as a diagnostic test for the detection and evaluation of infection, tissue injury and inflammatory disease, not involving atherosclerosis of the arteries.
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a substance the liver produces in response to inflammation. A high level of CRP in the blood can be a marker of inflammation. A wide variety of conditions can cause it, from an infection to cancer.
The C-reactive protein (CRP) test is used to find inflammation in your body. Inflammation could be caused by different types of conditions, such as an infection or autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease. This test measures the amount of CRP in your blood.

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein is produced by the body when blood-vessel walls are inflamed. The higher your levels of hs-CRP, the higher your levels of inflammation tend to be. But before we go any further, it's important to distinguish between acute inflammation and chronic inflammation.
Blood tests known as 'inflammatory markers' can detect inflammation in the body, caused by many diseases including infections, auto-immune conditions and cancers. The tests don't identify what's causing the inflammation: it might be as simple as a viral infection, or as serious as cancer.
