Cpt 82306

Looking for a covered diagnosis when CPT 82306 is done on male. Thx

vit D

Depends on the reason the test was ordered, ex, Vitamin D deficiency (268.0-268.9).

A medical tidbit

Vitamin D deficiency is rampant in the US. We stress sun protection, rightly so, and as a result we do not convert Vitamin D to its active form. There are studies relating deficiency to cancer, heart disease, aches and pains and of course osteoporosis.
I test for it often and get no rejections, even from Medicare when linked to HTN, DM, CAD.
On a personal note, ask your doctor to test your vitamin D level (25-OH vitamin D is the correct test) or just take 1,000 to 2,000 units a day. There is not enough Vitamin D in multivitamin or calcium/D supplements to meet daily needs. Although it is a fat soluble vitamin, you would need to take 50,000 units daily for a year to get toxic (we treat deficiency with 50,000 units twice a week).
