What are HCPCS P Codes?
HCPCS P codes are a subset of HCPCS Level II codes specifically designated for Pathology and Laboratory Services. They cover a wide range of procedures, tests, and services related to the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions. HCPCS P codes typically consist of a single letter (P) followed by four numeric digits. The numeric digits further categorize and identify specific procedures within the Pathology and Laboratory Services domain.
Common HCPCS P Codes for Pathology and Laboratory Services
- P3000 – Blood smear interpretation by pathologist.
- P5001 – Comprehensive metabolic panel.
- P7000 – Infectious agent detection by nucleic acid (DNA or RNA); human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) types 1 and 2, RNA, DNA, and antibody.
