Does anyone know the correct code to bill Medicare (Novitas Solutions) for specimen collection for the COVID 19 test? I am billing for an urgent care group in Texas who is collecting the specimens and sending them to an outside lab for analysis. My employer has read that 99000 can be reimbursed by Medicare, in addition to the E/M, however, I have not found a code/modifier combination that gets the 99000 processed at Medicare. It continues to be bundled with the E/M. I have found G2023 and G2024 in their fee schedule, but I believe those are only for the laboratories. Has anyone gotten these paid in an office or urgent care setting?
