Our office doesn't normally do testing such as this so I'm not sure if/how to bill for the specimen collection, however the facility we use for delivery is requiring our 39wk-40wk pregnant patients to be tested for coronavirus.
Our physicians/nurses are collecting the covid-19 sample via swab then sending the specimen to an outside lab for processing.
#1- What CPT code and Dx should I use? I was thinking CPT code 99211 or 87635? For dx code, I was thinking O98.513 then weeks of gestation secondary...??
#2- We are bringing some patients in specifically for the testing which I believe should be separately billable, however if we do this test during a scheduled ob visit, would it then be considered part of their ob care even though this isn't a routine test?
Any help would be great!
