The recommended CPT code is 87150 x 24. The Medicare reimbursement is 47.87 for one 87150. But I find it hard to believe that Medicare will reimburse $1,148.88 for each Positive Blood culture that has this Film Array Blood Culture ID panel is performed.
Does anyone know if multiple 87150 can be ordered on a Positive Blood Culture even if only one (1) organism is identified.

Thanks
