charlottew Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Google searching picked up this link: https://www.acog.org/practice-management/coding/coding-library/coding-for-covid-19-testing which contains Swab Collection There is no specific code for swabbing the enduring for COVID-19. Swab collection is included in E/M service. However, if collected in the office and transported to the laboratory, CPT code 99000 can be billed: 99000: Handling and/or conveyance of specimen for transfer from office to a laboratory Maybe that is what you are looking for?
