What is the CPT code for a Rapid HIV test?
CPT codes are used when billing Medicaid for services to Medicaid-eligible persons. CPT codes are found in the ICD9-CM Code Book. The general code for HIV Counseling is V-65.44. No specific code is now available for rapid testing. Providers currently enrolled in the HIV Primary Care Medicaid Program should have received a mailing about rapid testing in early May that included billing instructions. If the facility has not received this mailing, contact John Schnurr at 518-473-3786. Providers who are not currently enrolled in the HIV Primary Care Medicaid Program who are interested in doing so, should contact John Schnurr. Other facilities should direct specific billing questions to Medicaid Provider Relations at 1-800-522-1892.
