If an office does a rapid strep test (87081) and then subsequently performed a strep screen by bacitracin (87880), do we bill both of these? We have been billing both and I'm noticing some denials coming back saying that 87081 unbundles to 87880, but there is no CCI edit and I have been unable to find anything that addresses this or says we shouldn't bill these together without a modifier. I think this is how this has normally been billed by all the offices but I am just now seeing some denials.

Thanks.

Samantha
