Screening Culture With Growth Estimate

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 87084

A laboratory culture in which a sample is grown on a plate to see whether disease-causing bacteria are present. Alongside the presence or absence of growth, the amount of growth is estimated by comparing the plate against a reference standard. It is a screening step, and further work is needed to name the exact organism.
