Provider sees patient for sore throat. patient has been exposed to strep. Provider orders a rapid strep test. Prescribes Amoxicillin.
Documents neg strep.

provider bills for 99213 w/mod 25 and 87880 (strep A assay w/optic).

is it appropriate for provider to use mod 25?

87880 has a XXX global period (Global rules do not apply) which would keep it from being included in the office visit and getting denied. You can, and should, bill both without a modifier.
