BCG Vaccine Against Tuberculosis

Alaska rates for HCPCS 90585

Supplies the BCG vaccine, a live weakened bacterium given to build protection against tuberculosis. It is placed on the skin and pressed in with a multi-pronged applicator rather than injected deep into muscle, and it leaves a small sore that scabs and heals into a permanent flat scar over several weeks. This covers the vaccine material itself; the visit and the act of giving it are billed separately.
