AAPC Certified Professional Coder (CPC) — Question 106

A 5-year-old who has an allergy history experienced a possible reaction to peanuts. A quantitative, high-sensitive fluorescent enzyme immunoassay was used to measure specific IgE for recombinant peanut components. Results showed there was no reaction indicating the child has a peanut allergy.
What lab test is reported?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, 86008, which corresponds to the specific IgE testing for peanut components. Options A, C, and D refer to different tests that do not specifically measure the same immunological response to peanut allergens, making them incorrect in this context.
