Laureen,
A provider is billing 87798 for each of these labs: 87661, 87653, 87640 and 87591. These codes are not listed under 87797 which is the infectious agent detection by nucleic acid which then they could be 87798 for each organism.
The codes above are all by direct probe but should the provider bill 87798 for each of these?
