A couple is trying to conceive. The man is given a laboratory order for semen analysis for volume, count, motility and differential using strict morphologic criteria (e.g., Kruger). What is the correct CPT code for this test?
Explanation
Answer: D - 89322 is the correct code for semen analysis including volume, count, motility and differential using strict morphologic criteria (e.g., Kruger).
Code 89300 is incorrect because this code is for semen analysis for the presence and/or motility of sperm including Huhner test (post coital). Code 89320 is incorrect because this code is for semen analysis including volume, count, motility and differential but isn’t using specific criteria for morphology. Code 89321 is incorrect because this is the code for semen analysis with sperm present and motility of sperm if performed.
