A patient with a history of low B-12 needs to have this lab test repeated. What is the correct CPT code for Vitamin B-12 testing, which is also known as cyanocobalamin?
  1. 82607
  2. 82608
  3. 82610
  4. 82615
Explanation
Answer: A - 82607 is the correct code for the lab test cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B-12).

Code 82608 is incorrect because, although this is a test for Vitamin B-12, it is using the unsaturated binding capacity. Code 82610 is incorrect because this code is for Cystatin C and code 82615 is incorrect because this code is for cysteine and homocystine using urine.
