Is anyone else having a problem getting these codes paid when done in the office?

the way we bill 87430 depend on the insurance company. If it is bcbs hmo/oa/pos we bill a code other than 87430. Some other hmos/oa/pos we bill 87880 and the others use 87430. I will get back with you next week to give you the insurance company. Also if we have the dx 462 we use that.
We bill 87804 as 87804-qw and 87804-59 make sure you use both. Also use all dx given that is linked to the flu. I hope this help.
I just started coding for a family practice clinic and i'm learning a lot.

is anyone else billing 87804 qw, 87804-59 and 87880 on the same claim? If so, what diagnosis are you using and are all charges being paid?
