Antibiotic Sensitivity Test, TB-Type Bacteria

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 87190

Tests bacteria of the tuberculosis family grown from a patient sample against an antimicrobial drug to see whether that drug still kills or stops them. Each drug tested is charged separately. The results tell the treating team which medicines the infection will respond to, which matters because these infections need long courses of several drugs at once.
