Patient and specimen
ICD-10-CM diagnosis information
Select all diagnoses documented for this encounter. Use the most specific code supported by the medical record.
Medical necessity reminder: The selected diagnostic information may be insufficient to establish medical necessity for a multiplex dermatologic PCR panel. In addition to the diagnosis codes, documentation should identify the lesion type and location, suspected infectious process, relevant prior treatment or treatment failure, and how the PCR result is expected to change management.
Medicare/MolDX: Coverage is test-, CPT/HCPCS/PLA-, payer-, and jurisdiction-specific. Current MolDX guidance provides limited coverage pathways for certain qualifying cutaneous or mucocutaneous lesion panels and identifies B35.1 for qualifying onychomycosis panels; all applicable clinical and documentation criteria must also be met. Verify the patient’s applicable MAC/LCD and billed test code before testing.
Empiric antimicrobial initiated
Medication-specific common labeled options are provided for selection. Final regimen, duration, renal/hepatic adjustment, and pediatric weight-based dosing remain provider-directed.
Pathogens detected
Results are automatically ordered High → Moderate → Low; classes follow the highest load within each class.
