Mycobacteria Genetic Test, Amount Measured

Idaho rates for HCPCS 87552

A laboratory test that looks for the genetic material of mycobacteria, the slow-growing family of bacteria behind long-running lung infections and infections of lymph nodes, skin and other tissue, in a sample such as coughed-up phlegm, fluid or tissue. Beyond reporting whether the organisms are there, this version measures how much of their genetic material is present. Reading the genetic material gives an answer far sooner than growing these organisms, which can take weeks.
