Tuberculosis Genetic Test

Virginia rates for HCPCS 87555

Looks for the genetic material of the bacterium that causes tuberculosis in a sample such as coughed-up phlegm, using a matching probe that binds that material directly rather than a step that copies it first. Because the organism grows very slowly in the laboratory, reading its genetic material shortens the wait from weeks to a much shorter turnaround, which matters for starting treatment and limiting spread.
