The code for Non-Invasive Prenatal Panel (NIPP) or Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) is 81420.
Here's a breakdown:
- CPT Code 81420: This code specifically refers to the fetal chromosomal aneuploidy test, which analyzes circulating cell-free fetal DNA in the mother's blood. This analysis must include chromosomes 13, 18, and 21 to screen for conditions like Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome), Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome), and Trisomy 13 (Patau Syndrome). It may also include analysis for sex chromosome aneuploidies (e.g., monosomy X - Turner Syndrome).
| Code | Description | Chromosomes Analyzed |
|---|---|---|
| 81420 | Fetal chromosomal aneuploidy (e.g., trisomy 21, monosomy X) genomic sequence analysis panel, circulating cell-free fetal DNA in maternal blood | 13, 18, and 21 |
