Why ICD-10 codes are important
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
The new codes are for describing the infusion of tixagevimab and cilgavimab monoclonal antibody (code XW023X7), and the infusion of other new technology monoclonal antibody (code XW023Y7).
. Medicare coverage for screening PSAs is limited to once every 12 months Diagnostic PSAs CPT codes for diagnostic PSA tests are 84153: EPIC: LAB4427 TIP: Free and Total PSA is a diagnostic PSA and should be coded as such.

For example, the PSA level tends to increase with age, prostate gland size, and inflammation or infection. A recent prostate biopsy will also increase the PSA level, as can ejaculation or vigorous exercise (such as cycling) in the 2 days before testing.

The PSA test can detect high levels of PSA that may indicate the presence of prostate cancer. However, many other conditions, such as an enlarged or inflamed prostate, also can increase PSA levels. Therefore, determining what a high PSA score means can be complicated.
Elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels can be a sign of prostate cancer. It can also indicate noncancerous problems such as prostate enlargement and inflammation. Your healthcare provider will work with you to figure out the next steps if you have a high PSA level. Living With.
'Normal' PSA Levels By Age ChartAge Range (years)Baseline Age-Adjusted PSA Levels ng/mL40 to 490 to 2.550 to 590 to 3.560 to 690 to 4.570+0 to 6.5Oct 27, 2020
PSA is secreted into seminal fluid in high concentration and it is also found in low concentration in blood. PSA levels under 4 ng/ml are generally considered normal, while levels over 4 ng/ml are considered abnormal. PSA levels between 4 and 10 ng/ml indicate a risk of prostate cancer higher than normal.
There is no specific normal or abnormal level of PSA in the blood. In the past, PSA levels of 4.0 ng/mL and lower were considered normal. However, some individuals with PSA levels below 4.0 ng/mL have prostate cancer and many with higher PSA levels between 4 and 10 ng/mL do not have prostate cancer (1).

Once the patient is found to be cancer-free, a code of Z85.46, Personal history of malignant neoplasm of prostate is reported. When a primary malignancy has been previously excised or eradicated from its site and there is no further treatment directed to that site and there is no evidence of any existing primary malignancy, a code from category Z85, Personal history of malignant neoplasm, should be used to indicate the former site of the malignancy.
Screening may detect nodules or other abnormalities of the prostate. Benign prostatic hyperplasia or hypertrophy, enlarged prostate , or nodular prostate are common conditions code in category N40. The 4 th digit is used to describe the condition and/or the presence of associated lower urinary tract symptoms as follows:
G0103 Prostate cancer screening; prostate specific antigen test (psa) Medicare defines a screening PSA as a test that measures the level of prostate specific antigen in an individual’s blood.
Factors which might lower PSA level – even if the man has prostate cancer: 5-alpha reductase inhibitors: Certain drugs used to treat BPH or urinary symptoms, such as finasteride (Proscar or Propecia) or dutasteride (Avodart), can lower PSA levels.
Treatment of prostate cancer may also require surgical removal of the prostate. CPT codes for prostatectomy include: 55801. Prostatectomy, perineal, subtotal (including control of postoperative bleeding, vasectomy, meatotomy, urethral calibration, and /or dilation, and internal urethrotomy) 55812.
Treatment. Conventional treatments for early-stage prostate cancer include surgery and radiation . Hormonal therapy, which can reduce levels of the male hormones (androgens like testosterone) that lead to tumor growth, is also used to treat early-stage tumors.
In its early stages, prostate cancer is highly treatable, with five-year survival rates close to 100%. Once prostate cancer has metastasized, however, the 5-year survival rate falls to less than 30%, highlighting a significant need for more effective treatment of advanced stage disease. Because prostate cancer is highly curable when detected in ...
