Genetic and Genomic Tests Requiring Precertification


Precertification is performed by CareCore National, LLC d/b/a eviCore healthcare (eviCore). Precertification review only applies to members for whom the Program is applicable. For additional information, refer to the current version of Medical Policy MA06.034, eviCore Lab Management Program.​

The following list is a guide to the types of genetic and genomic tests that require precertification.

ANY genetic test that will be billed with a non-specific procedure code


  • Billed with CPT® codes 81400-81408 
  • Billed with an unlisted code: 81479, 81599, 84999

The following are the specific CPT and HCPCS codes for genetic and genomic tests that require pre-service reviews by CareCore National, LLC d/b/a eviCore healthcare (eviCore).
