Lab Identification Of A Cultured Organism

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 87147

After an organism has already been grown from a patient's sample in the laboratory, this step uses an antibody-based reaction to further identify or classify exactly which organism it is. This is a laboratory identification step rather than a test that detects an infection directly from the original patient sample.
