I was wondering if 87428 was billed once for each test. The code is for Flu A+B and Covid but I found an article that stated "When separate results are reported for different species or strain of organisms, each result should be coded separately. Use modifier 59 when separate results are reported for different species or strains that are described by the same code."
Are any of you billing this like 87428-QW + 87428-QW,59 + 87428-QW,59 when doing all 3 tests?
 
Hello yes that is correct, however you must ensure the documentation reflects the specific strains or organisms as these are most likely to be selected for audits
