Is there a HCPCS code for just the check swab for GeneSight testing? My OP facility collects the cheek swab and sends it out for processing. Any information/resources are appreciated.
Thanks.
 
There is no code for the collection of a buccal swab. It is considered incidental to the visit. You can only bill separately if drawing blood (venipuncture) or performing the actual testing.
