HEY EVERYONE!

Does anyone know if there are some new rules to coding/billing for rapid strep in the office? One of my nurses said that we shouldn't code/bill for the rapid strep when the results are negative and then it's sent out for culture.

Can anyone clear this up for me.

Thanks, Laury
 
Even if th erapid strep is negative you should code for it. I've heard nothing to support what your nurse is telling you. I would ask her where she got her information!
 
I totally agree with Lisa. You should code from the signs and symptoms and should code for the rapid strep even if it's negative.
