Reporting Multianalyte Assay With Algorithmic Analysis Codes 81515 and 81558

June 2025 pages 1-16 Reporting Multianalyte Assay With Algorithmic Analysis Codes 81515 and 81558 For the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) 2025 code set, two new Category I multianalyte assay with algorithmic analysis (MAAA) codes (81515, 81558) were established. Code 81515 was established to report testing to detect bacterial vaginosis (BV) and vaginitis–associated diseases, and code 81558 was established to report the immune quiescence status of a renal transplant patient. Note that all MAAA codes are listed with the procedure’s proprietary name in Appendix O of the CPT 2025 code set. Therefore, it is essential to remember that reporting...

Article Overview

This June 2025 article reviews two new CPT 2025 Category I multianalyte assay with algorithmic analysis codes and explains the general reporting context for pathology and laboratory services. It is aimed at coders, billers, laboratorians, and compliance staff who need to understand what changed in CPT 2025, how proprietary MAAA tests are tied to the codes, and what kinds of clinical scenarios the article addresses.

Why This Topic Matters

MAAA reporting can be difficult because code selection depends on matching the performed analysis to the CPT descriptor and, when applicable, the proprietary test named in the code set. This article helps readers identify the relevant CPT 2025 updates and understand the overall scope of the laboratory and transplant-related guidance covered by the premium content.
