Posted June 28, 20178 yr comment_70195 Is there a HCPCS code (P code) to charge for platelets that are leuko-reduced, irradiated, and washed?
July 8, 20177 yr comment_70267 Is it possible to charge using 3 separate P codes, one for the platelet, one for irradiation and 1 for wash? All linked to the unique product code for that product.
August 21, 20186 yr comment_74387 No you charge for the product, then each process. So the HCPCS for leukoreduced platelets, washed is P9035 just like non-washed but you have 2 procedures codes in your CDM to include a larger charge for the washing then you add the irradiation using CPT 86945. For example a regular platelet unit is procedure code 63877 and is priced at $450 but when it's washed the procedure code is 68309 and you charge $611. We have our computer system built so that if the product code is washed then it charges the procedure code for the $611 but if it's not washed it charges $450. Unfortunately there's only a P code for washed RBCs.
