What is a Z-Code™ Identifier? A Z-Code Identifier is a unique 5-character alpha-numeric code associated with certain molecular diagnostics (MDx) tests and is used by certain payers as an adjunct to non-specific CPT codes. This code is assigned within the Palmetto GBA’s DEX™ Diagnostics Exchange based on the uniqueness of each test being registered. This code, submitted on a claim, in addition to the CPT code, provides greater clarity to help ensure that both payers and providers clearly understand which test is being ordered, performed, and billed. Why do I need a Z-Code Identifier? The Z-Code Identifier helps provide granularity so that all parties know exactly what test was performed in order to know what they are paying for. A growing number of payers will not process a claim if the Z-Code Identifier does not accompany the CPT code on the claim. Pharma GenLabs Z-Code Identifier for PGX Comprehensive Panels (Psych, Pain & Cardio): There has been a tremendous amount of growth in molecular and genetic testing which gives Providers a great opportunity to improve quality of care for their patients. However, there are more choices than ever before, and current molecular CPT codes do not consistently and uniquely identify tests. Why should you choose Pharma GenLabs for your PGX Genetic DNA testing? Because our DNA doesn’t change, this one-time test provides information that a person may use for a lifetime. Pharma GenLabs’ PGx test results are based on the most current information from expert consensus-based research from around the world and we are one of the very few labs across the country that have a Z-Code Identifier assigned for this particular test.

Pharmacogenetics is the study of genetic variations that influence an individual’s response to medications. Each person responds uniquely to treatment so the same approach may not be effective or worse may cause adverse side effects in one patient and not another. In short, Pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing helps physicians prescribe the right medication for a patient taking the guesswork and the trial & error out of prescribing and decreasing the time to proper treatment.
