Does anyone have any advice for billing a wound culture? Typically, the lab performs 2 tests, an aerobic and an anaerobic. The codes for these are 87070 and 87073. Claims with both these codes have been repeatedly rejected with a reason of "The indicated code should not be on this claim with one of the other procedures. Code is included as an inclusive component of the primary procedure." Help!!
