BPRangeCPT for Multiple BP Readings
TriMed offers a BPRangeCPT function on the Blood Pressure vital control where the system calculates the appropriate CPTII for both the Systolic and Diastolic values.
Systolic:
3074F: Value 0-129
3075F: Value 120-139
3077F: Value 140+
Diastolic:
3078F: Value 0-79
3079F: Value 80-89
3080F: Value 90+
If a patient has multiple BP readings in a single encounter, the CPTII code should pull the lowest systolic and diastolic values so the practice can get the best credit for the patient's measurement.
Example:
11:00 AM BP: 150/110 - Patient has just walked three flights of stairs to get to the clinic:
Viewing the Superbill shows CPTII codes 3077F and 3080F:
11:20 AM BP: 120/80 - Patient has had time to relax, and the nurse retakes the measurement:
Viewing the Superbill now shows CPTII codes 3074F and 3079F:
