87491 is the code for the amplified probe. In the unlikely event that you're doing a chlamydia culture, it's 87110.

A normal blood test will not detect the infection. To diagnose chlamydia, you need a urine test or swab of the vagina, urethra, rectum, throat, or eye. Blood tests can look for evidence of past infection with chlamydia, but these are of no use in determining current infection and aren't used to diagnose or treat disease.

What is the difference between diagnostic codes and procedure codes?

what is the difference between hcpcs and cpt codes HCPCS and CPT codes are two different code sets for medical billing. Both can be used to submit claims. These code sets are maintained by two different entities. CPT codes are copyrighted and maintained by the American Medical Association. HCPCS codes are mainted by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Which code set you used should be based upon choosing the code which most accurately describing the service that is performed. Whether that should be a CPT code or a HCPCS code should be determined by the provider. Another factor to consider is where the claim will be submitted. It is always a good idea to check coverage from the insurance carrier / payer before submitting a claim. Tell them which procedure code and diagnosis code you intend to use. There are many different code books, code software and internet code lookup tools available to help assist in choosing the correct code. www.instacode.com has both books available.

How do you talk to the doctor about chlamydia?

Your health care provider is used to talking about chlamydia. First, say, "I'd like to be tested for chlamydia." Your health care provider should as if you've had oral, anal, or vaginal sex so that the right test specimen is used. If you know that a partner has been diagnosed with chlamydia, be sure to say so, as you might like to get treated that day while waiting for the results.


Do you need to take another blood test to check if chlamydia is cleared after the prescription?

A normal blood test will not detect the infection. To diagnose chlamydia, you need a urine test or swab of the vagina, urethra, rectum, throat, or eye. Blood tests can look for evidence of past infection with chlamydia, but these are of no use in determining current infection and aren't used to diagnose or treat disease. A positive blood test showing evidence of past infection will not change as a result of antibiotic treatment.
