81005
81002
81001
81000

question 6 (5 points)
identify the cpt code for the following scenario: quantitative blood test, pregnancy.
81025
84703
84704
84702

Explanation:

Analyze Question 5

The scenario describes: "Urinalysis performed in the office using a dipstick automated with microscopy."

• CPT 81000: Urinalysis, by dip stick or tablet reagent for bilirubin, glucose, hemoglobin, ketones, leukocytes, nitrite, pH, protein, specific gravity, urobilinogen, any number of these constituents; non-automated, with microscopy.
• CPT 81001: Urinalysis, by dip stick or tablet reagent...; automated, with microscopy.
• CPT 81002: Urinalysis, by dip stick or tablet reagent...; non-automated, without microscopy.
• CPT 81005: Urinalysis; qualitative or semiquantitative, except immunoassays.

Therefore, the correct code for automated with microscopy is 81001.

Analyze Question 6

The scenario describes: "Quantitative blood test, pregnancy."

• CPT 81025: Urine pregnancy test, by visual color comparison methods.
• CPT 84702: Gonadotropin, chorionic (hCG); quantitative.
• CPT 84703: Gonadotropin, chorionic (hCG); qualitative.
• CPT 84704: Gonadotropin, chorionic (hCG); free beta subunit.

Therefore, the correct code for a quantitative blood pregnancy test (hCG, quantitative) is 84702.
