81413 Car ion chnnlpath incision 10 gns
Also known as: ion channel testing, arrhythmia genetics panel, Long QT syndrome testing
Cardiac ion channel pathology genetic testing including up to 10 genes for arrhythmia syndromes and sudden cardiac death.
In Plain Language
genetic test for heart rhythm problems; sudden death risk test
Clinical Context
Identifies mutations in ion channel genes causing inherited arrhythmias (Long QT, Brugada, Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia); critical for sudden cardiac death prevention.
RVU Information
CPT 81413 does not have a physician work RVU assigned by CMS. Reimbursement for this code is determined by payer-specific fee schedules.
Billing & Documentation
Lab and pathology codes require an order from the treating provider with clinical indication. For molecular pathology and genetic testing, document the specific analytes tested and clinical rationale.
How This Code Compares
This code has a work RVU of 0.00, meaning it does not have a physician work component assigned by CMS. In the Pathology & Lab category, 94% of codes share this characteristic.
