HELP! U0003 and U0005 are being discontinued after May10th, because apparently the pandemic is over.....Does anyone here code lab testing for COVID and have a cheat sheet you can send me?
Thanks!
 
87635 if it's not by DNA or RNA maybe? AAPC admins how about an answer here please...
 
Hello There
My providers have assigned CPT 87811 or CPT 86769 or CPT 86328 for Covid lab testing linked with dx Z11.52 encounter .And if positive results use dx U07 or U09 depending on amount of times patient gets the Covid. :) Well hope this data helps you

I did not see a release of any new COVID CPT codes that has replaced the U codes. Our lab uses an amplified probe technique therefore we reverted back to using CPT 87635 (what we were using before U codes).
