Is there a CPT code for the collection of COVID-19? This swab is being sent to an outside laboratory. Thank you in advance.

I don't think there is a billable service, but anyone with other information should feel free to correct me.I am also looking for this information - but need to clarify that this is a physician practice (professional) billing with POS 11. We called WPS GHA (our Medicare carrier) and were told that G2023 and G2024 were only payable with the following POS: 12, 31, 41, 42, 60, and 71. We have patients coming to the office and staff doing a drive up test with no E&M that day. Code 99000 is a bundled only procedure and not separately payable.
