Hello all. can someone explain to me how to bill for the collection to be sent to labs for CPT 87536 or 86769? is it 99000 with what modifier?
Good afternoon, I need some guidance in billing for the specimen collection to be sent to labs. I work for an urgent care and would like to know if we are billing CPT 87635-QW or U0002-QW with DX codes Z11.59, Z03.818 and Z20.828. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
U0002 | 2019-nCoV Coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2/2019-nCoV (COVID-19), any technique, multiple types or subtypes (includes all targets), non-CDC should be used when specimens are sent to commercial laboratories, e.g. Quest or LabCorp, and not to the CDC or CDC-approved local/state health department laboratories | DOS After Feb. 4th | April 1st | $51.31 |
Ok so U0002 cannot be used either, just the E&M code only? the 99000 its not getting paid by anyone. There should be a code for this since we are at risk taking the spicemen at the office and sending it off to the lab ( quest, labcorp)
Ok, you are absolutely correct. Thank you
