Mycobacteria Identification From Culture

West Virginia rates for HCPCS 87118

This is a laboratory test that identifies the specific type of mycobacteria growing in a culture sample, such as the bacteria that cause tuberculosis or related infections. Once a culture shows mycobacterial growth, this additional testing pins down exactly which species is present, which helps guide the choice of treatment. It's performed on a sample that has already been grown in the lab, rather than being the initial culture step itself.
