A comatose patient is seen in the ER. The patient has a history of depression. Drug testing confirm she overdosed on tricyclic antidepressant drugs doxepin, amoxapine, and clomipramine. What CPT® code is reported?
A
CPT code 80366 is used when a healthcare provider orders a laboratory test to measure or detect pregabalin levels in a patient specimen. This code should be applied in conjunction with clinical evaluations that indicate a need for monitoring drug levels, such as suspected overdose or compliance checks. It is important to note that this code should not be used alongside codes for other drug tests that may overlap in purpose or methodology, as this could lead to billing discrepancies or confusion in clinical interpretation.
The correct answer is B - 80335 Antidepressants, tricyclic and other cyclicals;1 or 2
