Rapid Infection Antigen Test

Colorado rates for HCPCS 87385

This laboratory test detects a specific infection-causing organism directly in a urine sample by finding pieces of the organism itself rather than growing it in a culture. Because it doesn't require waiting for growth, it can often give a faster result than traditional culture-based testing. It's ordered when a doctor suspects a specific infection and wants a quicker answer than a culture would provide.
