[alisonatrammell]

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!

PCR Strep Test ... CPT CODE: 87651QW
PCR Flu A&B Test ... CPT CODE: 87502QW x 2

PCR Strep Test ... CPT CODE: 87651QW
PCR Flu A&B Test ... CPT CODE: 87502QW x 2

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.
