CPT 83695: Quantitative Lipoprotein(a) Measurement
CPT code 83695 represents a quantitative laboratory measurement of lipoprotein(a) concentration in patient blood. Lipoprotein(a) testing is clinically relevant because elevated levels are associated with increased cardiovascular risk and can influence risk stratification and management decisions. Nationally, use of targeted biomarker assays such as lipoprotein(a) has grown as clinicians incorporate more personalized cardiovascular risk assessment into care plans.
Key payers covered in this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find a concise overview of the code's clinical purpose, typical sites of service, and common billing considerations. The publication includes benchmarking context, payer coverage patterns, and a summary of relevant policy updates that affect laboratory billing and reimbursement for quantitative lipoprotein(a) testing.
The content is intended to help revenue cycle leaders, laboratory directors, clinicians, and policy analysts understand coding implications, payer coverage landscape, and operational considerations tied to CPT code 83695. Data not available in the input is identified explicitly where applicable.
