Hi All,
Is 87880 is the code for Culture Throat and for Strept Test?
AND
Can we bill Strept Culture and Strept Test when done in the clinic?

Thanks and have a Happy Holidays everyone.

We used 87880 for rapid strep test and billed the insurance for the test. The insurance companies paid us for the test.
