CPT code 82270 refers to a test for the detection of occult blood in stool samples, commonly used as a screening method for colorectal cancer. This code specifically indicates the use of a guaiac-based test, which helps identify hidden blood that may suggest the presence of polyps or tumors in the gastrointestinal tract. The test is typically part of routine health screenings, especially for individuals over the age of 45 or those at higher risk for colorectal issues.
