Is anyone billiling Nail Panels for Podiatry? Are you using the following CPT codes; 87798, 87480, and 87481?
 
I know this is a rather old post, but I would like to point that a laboratory panel should not be unbundled. Please see Medicare and Medicaid NCCI edit Manuals Chapter 10. In the introduction section it states:

"If a laboratory procedure produces multiple reportable test results, only a single HCPCS/CPT
code shall be reported for the procedure. If there is no HCPCS/CPT code that describes the
procedure, the laboratory shall report a miscellaneous or unlisted procedure code with a single
unit of service."
