Explanation:

Analyze Question 3

In the CPT Manual, procedures relating to drug testing (determining the presence of a substance within a patient's body) are divided into two primary subsections: presumptive drug class procedures and definitive drug class procedures. Therefore, the statement is true.

Analyze Question 4

Clinical Pathology Consultations in which services include a written report rendered by a pathologist in response to a request regarding a test result requiring additional medical interpretive judgment are coded in the range 80503-80505 (which replaced the older 80500-80502 codes).
