When coding for MecA resistant gene, please confirm in which scenarios we can bill CPT code 87641 or 87640:
  • If Staphylococcus Aureus is tested but not detected and MecA resistant gene is tested but not detected in the panel?
  • If Staphylococcus Aureus is detected and MecA resistant gene tested but not detected?
  • If Staphylococcus Aureus is detected and MecA resistant gene is detected?
  • If Staphylococcus Aureus is tested but not detected and MecA resistant gene is detected
  • If Staphylococcus Aureus is not tested but MecA resistant gene is detected in the panel?
