CCSD code 0040G: MRD genomic sequencing for blood cancers
CCSD code 0040G is the code independent pathology labs use to bill UK private medical insurers for MRD genomic sequencing in blood cancers. Simple enough on paper. In practice, it’s one of the pathology codes most likely to be coded correctly and still come back unpaid. It belongs to the CCSD Schedule, the coding system […]
CCSD code 0048C: Potassium level test and UK private billing
CCSD code 0048C is the code UK private medical insurers use to bill a potassium level test, the blood chemistry check that almost never travels alone. Order “U&Es” and potassium comes back bundled with sodium, urea, and creatinine from the same draw. If a remittance or invoice line shows 0048C, that’s the charge for the […]
