A mother is going to have alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) testing done, using the amniotic fluid. What is the correct CPT code for this specific test?
  1. 82103
  2. 82104
  3. 82105
  4. 82106
Explanation
Answer: D - 82106 is the correct code for AFP test using amniotic fluid.

Codes 82103 and 82104 are both incorrect because these codes are for alpha-1-antitrypsin tests. Code 82105 is incorrect because this code is for AFP using serum instead of amniotic fluid.
