Automated, multichannel equipment offers a cost-efficient means of performing diagnostic laboratory procedures without compromising the quality of care. The following tests are frequently done as groups or combinations on automated multichannel equipment:
| CPT code | Chemistry Test |
|---|---|
| 82040 | Albumin, serum |
| 82247 | Bilirubin, total |
| 82248 | Bilirubin, direct |
| 82310 | Calcium, total |
| 82374 | Carbon dioxide (bicarbonate) |
| 82435 | Chloride, blood |
| 82465 | Cholesterol, serum, total |
| 82550 | Creatine kinase (CK, CPK) |
| 82565 | Creatinine; blood |
| 82947 | Glucose, quantitative |
| 82977 | Gamma Glutamyltransferase (GGT) |
| 83615 | Lactate dehydrogenase (LD), (LDH) |
| 84075 | Alkaline phosphatase |
| 84100 | Phosphorus, inorganic (phosphate) |
| 84132 | Potassium, serum |
| 84155 | Protein; total, except refractometry |
| 84295 | Sodium, serum |
| 84450 | Transferase, aspartate amino (AST), (SGOT) |
| 84460 | Transferase, alanine amino (ALT), (SGPT) |
| 84478 | Triglyceride |
| 84520 | Urea nitrogen, quantitative |
| 84550 | Uric acid; blood |
Automated Panel Codes
A laboratory can bill each component test individually or combine the components and bill with the panel code. However, both the panel code and the individual codes may not be billed together. For example, a laboratory can bill procedures 82374, 82435, 84132 and 84295 individually, or as profile code 80051, but not both on the same claim as 80051 includes the individual tests.
Refer to the CPT coding book for panel information.
