The [[International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems]] (ICD) is a commonly used system of diagnostic codes for classifying diseases, including nuanced classifications of a wide variety of signs, symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or disease. Their ICD-10-CM code set has been modified to include lab testing codes for COVID-19, as has the [[Current Procedural Terminology]] (CPT) code set. This guide provides basic information about these codes (which should not be considered legally binding advice); however, see the referenced material (and following citations) for more details concerning those codes<ref name="AMA-COVIDCPT">{{cite web |url=https://www.ama-assn.org/practice-management/cpt/covid-19-cpt-coding-and-guidance |title=COVID-19 CPT coding and guidance |work=COVID-19 CPT codes |author=American Medical Association |accessdate=14 September 2021}}</ref><ref name="AHAFreq21">{{cite web |url=https://www.codingclinicadvisor.com/faqs-icd-10-cm-coding-covid-19 |title=Frequently Asked Questions Regarding ICD-10-CM Coding for COVID-19 |work=AHA Coding Clinic Advisor |publisher=American Hospital Association |date=27 August 2021 |accessdate=14 September 2021}}</ref><ref name="CMS-ICD10CM21">{{cite web |url=https://www.cms.gov/files/document/fy-2022-icd-10-cm-coding-guidelines.pdf |format=PDF |title=ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting FY 2022 |author=Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services |date=10 August 2021 |accessdate=14 September 2021}}</ref><ref name="CMS-COVIDFAQFFS21">{{cite web |url=https://www.cms.gov/files/document/03092020-covid-19-faqs-508.pdf |format=PDF |title=COVID-19 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) Billing |publisher=Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services |date=02 July 2021 |accessdate=14 September 2021}}</ref><ref name="ASCO-COVIDReport21">{{cite web |url=https://www.asco.org/sites/new-www.asco.org/files/content-files/advocacy-and-policy/documents/2020-COVID19-Billing-and-Coding-Resource.pdf |format=PDF |title=COVID-19 Coding and Reporting Information New CPT, HCPCS, and ICD-10 CM Codes |publisher=American Society of Clinical Oncology |date=26 August 2021 |accessdate=14 September 2021}}</ref>:

| * The CPT code 87635 has the long descriptor of "Infectious agent detection by nucleic acid (DNA or RNA); severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (Coronavirus disease [COVID-19]), amplified probe technique." The American Medical Association's ''CPT Assistant'' [https://www.ama-assn.org/practice-management/cpt/covid-19-cpt-coding-and-guidance fact sheet] for SARS-CoV-2 reporting proves useful in supplying assistance on how and when to apply this CPT code in reporting.

This includes a series of parent and child codes for antibody testing, neutralizing antibody screens, antigen testing, and vaccination. Resources for guidance concerning these codes include the [https://www.ama-assn.org/practice-management/cpt/covid-19-cpt-coding-and-guidance American Medical Association] and the [https://www.asco.org/sites/new-www.asco.org/files/content-files/advocacy-and-policy/documents/2020-COVID19-Billing-and-Coding-Resource.pdf American Society of Clinical Oncology] (PDF).

| * The U.S. government-adopted ICD-10-CM—an authorized version of WHO's ICD-10<ref name="CDCIntern20">{{cite web |url=https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/icd/icd10cm.htm |title=International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) |author=National Center for Health Statistics |publisher=Centers for Disease Control and Prevention |date=30 July 2021 |accessdate=14 September 2021}}</ref>—has been updated by the CDC and the National Center for Healthcare Statistics. It includes not only codes for conditions associated with COVID-19, but also codes for exposure, screening, and vaccination. The principal diagnosis code "U07.1, COVID-19" is sequenced first for a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis, followed by any appropriate codes for associated manifestations (though there is an obstetrics exception). CMS's [https://www.cms.gov/files/document/fy-2022-icd-10-cm-coding-guidelines.pdf coding guidelines], as well as [https://www.ama-assn.org/practice-management/cpt/covid-19-cpt-coding-and-guidance American Medical Association] guidance, may prove useful in choosing the correct codes. The [https://www.asco.org/sites/new-www.asco.org/files/content-files/advocacy-and-policy/documents/2020-COVID19-Billing-and-Coding-Resource.pdf American Society of Clinical Oncology] (PDF) is also maintaining a document with ICD-10-CM information.

| * Since the pandemic started, new HCPCS codes have been released by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). These are to be used solely for Medicare claims. The [https://www.asco.org/sites/new-www.asco.org/files/content-files/advocacy-and-policy/documents/2020-COVID19-Billing-and-Coding-Resource.pdf American Society of Clinical Oncology] (PDF) is maintaining a helpful document with that information.

| Laboratories analyzing specimens for SARS-CoV-2 must be equipped to implement and handle analytical testing and test orders using the new test codes. However, they also must be able to quickly and accurately transfer vital case information to the appropriate health authority. This may include using other types of codes such as Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes ([[LOINC]]) and [[SNOMED-CT codes]], which are briefly discussed in the next subsection.
