In medical billing and coding what is the code for low platelet count?

That would be an ICD-9 code. You really need to work with your manual and use the index. That should be easy to find. Unfortunately my manuals are buried in the closet, and I have no idea where the backpack containing them is!


Remember, CPT is for procedures done on an outpatient basis, such as your doctor's office. The ICD-9 can be used for procedures as well, but inpatient only. The main use for the ICD-9 is for the diagnois of the patient. HCPCS is used for injections, drugs,supplies, medical equipment, some procedures, and transportation of patient (such as ambulance).
