Combined Lab Test for COVID-19, Flu, and RSV

Michigan rates for HCPCS 87637

A single laboratory test analyzes a sample, typically from a nasal swab, to detect the genetic material of the viruses that cause COVID-19, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) all at once. This combined approach can identify which of these three common respiratory illnesses a person has in one test, rather than running separate tests for each. Results help guide treatment decisions and any needed precautions.
