CPT® Code 85390

The CPT® Code 85390 refers to the interpretation and reporting of fibrinolysins or coagulopathy screening tests. This procedure involves a detailed analysis conducted by a pathologist or a qualified professional, who evaluates the results of fibrin or coagulation studies. The interpretation is crucial for understanding the patient's coagulation status, which can be affected by various medical conditions. The request for such an interpretive report may originate from the attending physician or may be established as a standing order within a hospital or care facility. The resulting report is comprehensive and tailored to the individual patient, containing specific diagnostic information that is essential for guiding treatment strategies and determining future testing options. This ensures that healthcare providers have the necessary insights to make informed decisions regarding patient care and management of coagulation disorders.
