1 This publication is a summary of The American Medical Association Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes published in ARUP's Laboratory Test Directory effective January 1, Tests not listed in this summary do not have CPT code changes at this time. To receive a complete ARUP test list in electronic format, please contact Erica Cuttitta at (800) ext CPT codes provided are for informational purposes only. The codes reflect our interpretation of CPT coding requirements, based upon AMA guidelines published annually. CPT codes are provided only as guidance to assist clients with billing. ARUP strongly recommends that clients confirm CPT codes with their Medicare Administrative Contractor, or other payor as requirements may differ from one to another. CPT coding is the sole responsibility of the billing party. ARUP Laboratories assumes no responsibility for billing errors due to reliance on the CPT codes published. The 2012 CPT code manual contains new codes for molecular pathology. At this publication, it is unclear how these codes will be handled in all cases. ARUP strongly recommends that clients confirm CPT codes with their Medicare Administrative Contractor, or other payors as requirements may differ from one to another. ARUP continues to evaluate this process with government and industry officials and will update you as information is made available. Please direct any questions regarding CPT coding to the payor being billed.
