We order a serum mono test 86308; There is a waived rapid mono test too - just add QW.

Clarify

The Mono test code we use is 86318, and the ANA Panel includes 86038,86225 and 86235(x2). What I am looking for are ICD9 codes that cover medical necessity for those tests. Thank you

oh...

usually code the symptoms- fever, lymphadenopathy, or mono. For ANA again the symptoms- joint pain, rash, etc. or of course Lupus. Need the numbers?
