86141 is the correct code for high sensitivity C-reactive protein.
Code 86140 is incorrect because this code is for C-reactive protein, but not the high sensitivity version. Code 86146 is incorrect because this code is for Beta 2 Glycoprotein I antibody and code 86147 is incorrect because this code is for Cardiolipin (phospholipid) antibody.
