Compared with Medicare

What it is

A rapid flu test checks a nose or throat swab for influenza within minutes. The code is billed once for each flu type tested, so a test for A and B may be billed twice.

What the price covers

The price usually covers the swab and the test for one flu type; tests for A and B may be billed twice.

Why prices differ

Hospital labs often charge several times what independent labs charge for the same test, and chargemaster markups for lab tests differ widely between hospitals.

What to ask

Ask whether the self-pay price for CPT 87804 covers both flu A and flu B, and whether the visit is billed separately.
