# CPT 84402

> Not at a published national rate. CPT 84402 carries status X (statutory exclusion) in the Q3 2014 release. The statutory definition of physician services does not include this item. Treat the blank amount as unpriced, not as $0.

## What it is

Measures only the small share of testosterone travelling in the blood unattached to carrier proteins - the fraction that can actually enter cells and act. It differs from the total testosterone test, which counts bound and unbound hormone together in one number. Free testosterone is often the more meaningful figure when carrier-protein levels are pushed up or down by age, obesity, liver disease, or thyroid problems.
