Wiki How to code Rapid HIV Test done in Primary Care Office

Hi, Please, what CPT and HCPC code would you use to Administer, in office, rapid HIV single use test kit?

G0435-Infectious agent antibody detection by rapid antibody test, HIV-1 and/or HIV-2, screening is the HCPCS code for a rapid oral sample HIV test. I don't know if it can be billed by a PCP as there is no mention if it is a CLIA waived test or not.

Thank you for G0435. Would you know if CPT 87811 would also be correct for Oral swab single use HIV Test in office?

The description of CPT 87811 states specifically that it for COVID detection, so I would not use it for an HIV test.

Oh my goodness, apologies I confused myself.
I was inquiring what CPT code to use for the administration of a rapid, oral swab, single use, HIV test in an office setting?
Also, would 87811 be correct to use for the administration of a rapid, single use, COVID test in an office setting?
I greatly appreciate your feedback, thank you.

We use 86703 with -92 modifier and 36416 if it's a fingerstick.
