The rules say that providers must report services correctly. Procedures should be reported with the CPT code 
that describes the services performed. You can find this rule in the Medicare National Correct Coding Initiative 
Manual, Chapter I(A). 
 
The rules say that as Comprehensive Genomic Profile (CGP) testing is not defined as a targeted panel by 
MolDX; and it is a test not currently satisfactorily described by any existing CPT code; to report a CGP, 
service providers should use CPT code 81479 (for the entire multi-test panel) at this time, in addition to the 
approved DEX Z-CodeTM entered adjacent in the comment/narrative field for the test; not unbundled to 
separate codes. Coverage of CGP is limited to one test per specimen and precludes the use of any other 
molecular testing on the specimen. You can find this Medicare guidance in the Medicare Local Coverage 
Article: Billing and Coding: MolDX: Targeted and Comprehensive Genomic Profile Sequencing Testing in 
[Solid Tumor] Cancers (A55624); Medicare Local Coverage Article: Billing and Coding: MolDX: Biomarkers
