January 17, 20178 yr comment_68408 Good morning everyone, I am validating a TeG 6S and need to submit my test request to the LIS department. How did you set up the CPT Codes? Platelet Mapping- 85576 times ? (platelet aggregation each agent) 85396- interpretation for platelet mapping TEG citrated assay- 85347- Coagulation Time, activated 85384- Fibrinogen Time, activated 85390-coagulopathy screen & interpretation
January 19, 20178 yr comment_68424 I used 85576 x 3 for the Platelet Mapping and 85347 x 2, 85576 x 2, and 85384 for the citrated assay. We just started doing these so I don't really have any feedback from the payers to say if that is correct, but I got them off google for another hospital that used them. I can't find the exact one now so can't tell you what hospital that was, sorry.
January 19, 20178 yr comment_68425 Thank you. I have reached out to the vendor. They haven't responded yet.
January 20, 20178 yr comment_68444 I doubt that they will respond. I asked and was told that they are not supposed to give out that information because they are not coders.
January 20, 20178 yr comment_68446 We are implementing the ROTEM (same type of testing, different manufacturer). We were told by the manufacturer that cpt 85396 is what should be used. Makes sense - "Coagulation/fibrinolysis assay, whole blood (eg, viscoelastic clot assessment)". Problem is that this cpt code is only a charge of once per day. Looking to see what others are doing for billing... Stephanie
