CPT code 87880, which is used for rapid detection of specific infectious agents, can generally be billed once per patient encounter. However, if a patient has multiple encounters throughout the year, each encounter may be billed separately. There is no strict annual limit on the number of times it can be billed, but it must be medically necessary and appropriate for each encounter. Always check with specific payer guidelines for any limitations or restrictions.
