Is there a new CPT code for COVID-19 POC Rapid Test?

If you are talking about the Rapid Test in the clinic with IgG and IgM, I use 86769 .

No, not the antibody test.

Would it be this one?
87426: Infectious agent antigen detection by immunoassay technique, (e.g., enzyme immunoassay [EIA], enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay [ELISA], immunochemiluminometric assay [IMCA]) qualitative or semiquantitative, multiple-step method; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2 [COVID-19]).

~ I would check with the lab and read the description on 87426 to make sure.
