I am looking for guidance on correct CPT codes for PCR Flu and Strept testing/reporting and any associated reimbursement information for these codes. Lab codes, diagnosis codes, CPT, any thing!
CPT Code 87502 has an MUE of 1. Also, 87502 CPT description states "First two types". Hence x2 should not be coded, instead only 87502 for Flu A and B Testing.
