Hello Community! I have another question, this time on Focus Respiratory Panel coding. Please let me know how you would code this report. I appreciate any help!!
Nasopharyngeal Swab, Focused Viral:
VIRUSES NP SWAB-
INFLUENZA A NOT DETECTED
INFLUENZA B NOT DETECTED
RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS NOT DETECTED
PLEASE NOTE: The Hologic Panther Fusion Respiratory Panel is indicated as an aid in the diagnosis of specific agents and results are to be used in conjunction with other clinical, laboratory, and epidemiological data. Positive results do not rule out co-infection with organisms not included in the corresponding Hologic Panther Fusion Respiratory Panel. The agent detected may not be the definitive cause of disease.
Nasopharyngeal Swab SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19
VIRUS, RP SWAB BY PCR SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19 NOT DETECTED
I feel like I should code as:
87631- covers 2-5 targets
U0004--COVID
Again, thank you!
