Wiki Medicare's new modifiers

[mlthom]

When coding the flu A and B test - we use 87804 and 87804-59 mod?? I have noticed that medicare is denying the second test?? Is this because we are not using the "X" modifiers - if so which one should be used??

We have been coding this as 87804-QW x2 on one line and it seems to be getting paid. No other modifier
