Drug-Resistant Bacteria Gene Screening Test

Hawaii rates for HCPCS 87500

This is a laboratory test performed on a sample, such as a swab, that looks directly for the genetic material of specific genes that make certain bacteria resistant to a commonly used antibiotic. Finding these genes indicates the bacteria present would likely not respond to that antibiotic, which matters for choosing safe and effective treatment and for preventing spread in a hospital setting. It is often used as a screening test for patients being admitted to or already in a hospital.
