I have gotten a few denials from Tricare stating that we need to file 87804 with the proper "screening code". I am not sure of which one to use. Any suggestions?

I am without books right now so elaborate on what 87804 is and what code you use and are you coding for the pathologist or lab.

87804 is "infectious agent antigen detection by immunoassay:influenza" this code is use to test for swine flu A & B.
I have been using 87804 twice with -91 and i use "influenza symptom" 487.7 as a Dx and i have been getting paid by insurance carrier. I'm not sure about Tricare because we do not take Tricare insurance
Hope this helps
