View CPT and ICD 9 Codes used for Hepatitis Screening Test (A, B, C) in Medical Billing Coding. Viral hepatitis is the leading cause of liver cancer and the most common reason for liver
transplantation
There are five hepatitis virus types identified by A, B, C, D, and E. However the most common types are Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B (HBV)and Hepatitis C (HCV). Data from Center for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) shows that hepatitis C is the most common chronic bloodborne pathogen in the US.
Hepatitis D (HDV)
Hepatitis D, also known as "delta hepatitis," is a serious liver disease caused by infection with the Hepatitis D virus (HDV). This is an RNA virus structurally unrelated to the Hepatitis A, B, or C viruses. Hepatitis D, which can be acute or chronic, is uncommon in the United States. HDV is an incomplete virus that requires the helper function of HBV to replicate and only occurs among people who are infected with the Hepatitis B virus.
Hepatitis E (HEV)
Hepatitis E is a liver disease caused by the Hepatitis E virus (HEV). HEV infection usually results in a self-limited, acute illness. It is widespread in the developing world. Hepatitis E is believed to be uncommon in the United States. When HEV infection does occur, it is usually the result of travel to a developing country where Hepatitis E is endemic. However, rare cases have been reported among persons with no history of travel to HEV-hyperendemic countries.
Following are the CPT Codes for Hepatitis C, B Screening procedure/test:
If you think you are at risk for HCV, HBV or wish to be screened, please tell your doctor that you want to be sure about your status. He/she will comply with your wishes and work around any issues regarding inadequate diagnostic screening codes for hepatitis C or hepatitis B.

Hepatitis A,B,C,D,E and Liver Diseases
Hepatitis refer to inflammation of the liver that can caused by virus infections that affect the liver. Viral hepatitis is a relatively common disease (25 patients in every 100,000 citizens in the US) caused by a diverse group of hepatotropic agents that lead to liver inflammation and liver cell death.There are five hepatitis virus types identified by A, B, C, D, and E. However the most common types are Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B (HBV)and Hepatitis C (HCV). Data from Center for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) shows that hepatitis C is the most common chronic bloodborne pathogen in the US.

CPT Codes for Hepatitis C, B Screening Test
The CDC has recommendations regarding Hepatitis screening for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C for persons at high risk for infection. In addition to that North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) has issued practice guidelines on "Diagnosis and Management of hepatitis C infection in infants, children, and adolescents".Following are the CPT Codes for Hepatitis C, B Screening procedure/test:

- 86705 Hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb); IgM antibody
- 86706 Hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb)
- 86707 Hepatitis Be antibody (HBeAb)
- 86803 Hepatitis C antibody;
- 86804 Hepatitis C antibody; confirmatory test (eg, immunoblot)
- 87340 Infectious agent antigen detection by enzyme immunoassay technique, qualitative or semiquantitative, multiple step method; hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)
- 87341 Infectious agent antigen detection by enzyme immunoassay technique, qualitative or semiquantitative, multiple step method; hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) neutralization
- 87350 Infectious agent antigen detection by enzyme immunoassay technique, qualitative or semiquantitative, multiple step method; hepatitis Be antigen (HBeAg)
- 87902 Infectious agent genotype analysis by nucleic acid (DNA or RNA); Hepatitis C virus
- 87912 Infectious agent genotype analysis by nucleic acid (DNA or RNA); Hepatitis B virus
