Guidelines for Genomic Sequencing Procedures
GSPs are DNA/RNA sequence analysis methods that simultaneously assay
multiple genes or regions from germline or neoplastic sample
MPS/NGS technology is typically used, but other technologies may be used –
Code selection should be based on components
If all components are not performed, see Tier I or Tier II codes
When GSP assay includes a gene listed in more than one code descriptor, choose
code based on primary disorder
Testing for somatic alterations in neoplasms is reported differently based on
methods and analytes (DNA and/or RNA)
See Table on page 661 of code book for more details
13. © Health Catalyst. Confidential and Proprietary.
Definitions for Genomic Sequencing Procedures
Cell-free nucleic acid – DNA or RNA released into the blood and other body fluids.
Sometimes referred to as “liquid biopsy”
Copy number variants – Structural changes in the genome which are composed
of large deletions or duplications
Duplication/Deletion – Used in molecular testing to assess the dosage of a
particular genomic regions; 0-1 copy represents a deletion, while 3+ copies
represent a duplication
Massively parallel sequencing (MPS) – Method used to determine a portion of
the nucleotide sequences in an individual patient’s genome utilizing advanced
sequencing technologies that can process multiple DNA/RNA sequences in
parallel; NGS is a common technique to achieve MPS
14. © Health Catalyst. Confidential and Proprietary.
Definitions for Genomic Sequencing Procedures
Microsatellite instability (MSI) – A type of DNA hypermutation or predisposition
to mutation in which replication errors are not corrected due to defective DNA
mismatch repair
Rearrangements– Structural chromosomal variations such as deletions, insertion,
inversions, or translocations that bring together genetic material that is not
normally adjacent
Tumor mutational burden – The number of somatic mutations detected per
million bases of genomic sequence investigated from a neoplasm specimen

0856T - 88348 Code 0858T represents measurement of evoked cortical potentials associated with transcranial magnetic stimulation of two or more cortical areas using multiple, externally applied scalp electrode channels. Upon stimulation, the device performs automated signal processing indicating brain physiological features of connectivity, excitability, and plasticity, which may be impaired with structural and functional brain deficits. Because these physiological features may be altered in certain types of brain disease, the device's automated report of analyzed data is intended to provide clinical insight of brain function within the contextofcertain brain disease states.
NoncontactNnear-infrared spectroscopy is used to measure cutaneous vascular perfusion. Codes 0640T, 0641T, 0642T0859Tdescribe noncontact near-infrared spectroscopy of skin flaps or woundsfor measurement of cutaneous vascular perfusion (other than for screening for peripheral arterial disease)that does not require direct contact of the spectrometer sensors with the patient’s skin. Codes 0640T, 0859T may only be reported once, when performing noncontact near-infrared spectroscopy of multiple wounds in one anatomic site (eg, multiple diabetic ulcers involving the plantar surface of the foot). For noncontact near-infrared spectroscopy studies for screening for peripheral arterial disease, use 0860T. Codes are now divided based on indication and number of anatomical sites Notes added to clarify that analysis is included in implantation and therefore shouldn’t be reported on the same date as insertion, replacement, or revision.
