Article Guidance

Article Text

NOTE: The Oncotype DX Breast Cancer Assay and the Oncotype DX DCIS Score are different tests and should NOT be submitted with the same Z-Code Identifier. Because this article ONLY addresses Oncotype DX Breast, the diagnosis codes for breast carcinoma in situ have been removed.

Oncotype DX® Breast was developed for patients with the following findings:

  • estrogen-receptor positive, node-negative carcinoma of the breast
  • estrogen-receptor positive micrometastases of carcinoma of the breast, and
  • estrogen-receptor positive breast carcinoma with 1-3 positive nodes

To bill an Oncotype Breast service, please provide the following claim information:

  • CPT code 81519 – Oncology (breast)
  • Enter “1” in the Days/Unit field
  • Labs may either use the SV101-7 or SV202-7 (preferred) or the NTE field to submit this required information.
  • Enter assigned DEX Z-Code™ Identifier in the comment/narrative field for the following Part B claim field/types:
    • Loop 2400 or SV101-7 for the 5010A1 837P
    • Submit assigned Z-Code™ Identifier on an attachment to the claim form for paper claim
  • Enter the appropriate DEX Z-Code™ identifier adjacent to the CPT code in the comment/narrative field for the following Part A claim field/types:
