There is no specific code for "three specimens for total gastric acid" as medical coding is specific to procedures and diagnoses. However, to measure gastric acid, a common test is the gastric acid secretion test, which may be coded using the relevant CPT code (e.g., 91010). The specific code may vary depending on the method used and other factors, so it's best to consult the current coding guidelines and documentation for accurate coding.

The purpose of the gastric acid determination is to evaluate gastric function by measuring the amount of acid as suctioned directly from the stomach. The complete gastric acid determination includes the basal gastric secretion test.
Is gastric acid the secretions in the gastric juice produced by the stomach?
Gastric acid is part of the "juices" produced by the stomach.

Difference between free acidity and total acidity in gastric juice?
Gastric juice consists of hydrochloric acid, a strong acid along with many weak acids. Free acidity is a measure of acidity of hydrochloric acid alone but total acidity is a measure of combined acidity due to hydrochloric acid and many weak acids (organic acids and proteins).
An example of a gastric secretion is?
HCl (gastric acid), pepsinogen.
