CPT® Code 89320

The CPT® Code 89320 refers to a semen analysis that encompasses a comprehensive evaluation of several key parameters: volume, count, motility, and differential. This analysis is crucial for assessing male fertility and involves measuring the total volume of semen produced in a single ejaculation, which provides insight into reproductive health. The sperm count is determined by calculating the total density of sperm per milliliter of semen, with a normal threshold set at 20 million sperm per milliliter or more. Additionally, motility is assessed to determine the number of active sperm that exhibit good forward motion, which is essential for successful fertilization. A normal motility count is defined as 8 million motile sperm per milliliter or higher. Furthermore, the differential analysis evaluates the morphology of sperm, identifying the proportion of sperm that appear normal when examined microscopically. This comprehensive semen analysis is vital for diagnosing potential fertility issues and guiding further reproductive health interventions.
