Wiki Need Help ASAP-Please!

Would anyone please tell me what CPT and ICD-9-CM codes we would use for a cheek swab to determine if a patient is eligiable to become a bone marrow donor?

Thanks.

Any takers, please?

For your CPT you might want to check out:

ICD-9 I'm leaning toward V70.8 or maybe V72.6x.

Not much on lab coding but hope that helps.
