    Wiki Travel Testing for COVID-19

    Hi all, I tried searching for this but unable to find a clear answer. How is everyone coding (ICD-10) their patients receiving COVID-19 tests for travel? I have seen payer guidance that testing for this reason is not covered but I don't see they are advising how to code it.

    Wiki Rapid COVID Nasal Swab

    Hello All, I wanted to confirm there wasn't a new code to be used for the RAPID COVID-19 test. All I've seen this far was CPT 87635 for the actual COVID test. The other CPT that were added were for the Antibodies test from what I am reading. This will be coding for an Urgent care as well as a PCP.
