CPT code 81025
What does CPT code 81025 mean on a medical bill?
This is the quick urine pregnancy test that most emergency rooms run before x-rays, CT scans, or certain medicines for anyone who could be pregnant. It should be one line per sample. A blood pregnancy test is a different code and a separate charge, so if both are on your bill, your record should show why the result needed to be confirmed or measured in blood.
What should I watch out for with CPT code 81025?
- The test billed more than once for a single urine sample
- Both a urine and a blood pregnancy test billed with only one result in the record
- A pregnancy test billed on a visit where your chart shows it did not apply — ask for it to be reviewed
