Stool Culture, Additional Intestinal Organisms

Nevada rates for HCPCS 87046

When a stool culture grows bacteria beyond the two most common intestinal disease-causing types, this covers the extra laboratory work of isolating and identifying each additional organism found. It is billed alongside the primary stool culture, not as a stand-alone test. This more thorough identification helps pinpoint a less common cause of an intestinal infection.
