This is the description of the procedure 81401
81400-81408 (81400, 81401, 81402, 81403, 81404, 81405, 81406, 81407, 81408)
These tests are used to analyze nucleic acid for abnormalities that may be indicative of a variety of disorders. Cell lysis, nucleic acid stabilization, extraction, digestion, amplification, and detection are included in the molecular pathology procedure codes. Any procedures prior to cell lysis may be reported separately. Code selection is dependent upon the gene and the specific mutation examined. Specimens may vary. The gene and type of mutation that are being analyzed are identified as molecular pathology levels one through nine. For the specific gene mutation assignment, reference the code description in the CPT® manual.
Hope this helps
