Hello everyone,
In desperate need of help. I’m getting conflicting advice regarding how to count combination point of care tests. Specifically if there is a point of care test, one swab that tests Flu A/B and COVID. Does that count as 1 ordered test because there is only 1 CPT code. Does it count as 2 ordered tests (1 for the Flu A/B result and 1 for the COVID result). or does it count as 3 ordered tests (1 for Flu A, 1 for Flu B and 1 for COVID). Please provide a reference so I can back up my answer, please. I have looked and am not finding a lot about this other than multiple reference saying it would only count as 1 due to 1 CPT code for the test.
Respectfully yours,
Danté
