What 38241 covers

CPT 38241 represents transplantation of autologous hematopoietic progenitor cells, such as cells collected from the patient’s peripheral blood or bone marrow. It is typically reported for the transplant infusion during a facility-based treatment course, often after high-dose therapy for a blood cancer. The transplant physician and cellular therapy team coordinate delivery of the patient’s cells; this is distinct from collecting the cells or processing them for storage or infusion.

Report the transplant when the patient’s own hematopoietic cells are infused as the transplant. Documentation should identify the autologous product, the transplant indication, and the infusion performed. CMS lists payment as restricted to specific circumstances, so payment depends on meeting the applicable coverage conditions. When multiple procedures subject to the standard multiple-procedure rule occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%.
