Wiki PPD injection CPT code to use

[cwestman]

I'm wondering if anyone can help with a question when the nurse does a PPD we bill CPT 86580 tb intradermal
I know the CPT code 96372 is used for Therapeutic ,prophylactic or diagnostic but for IM or sq injections .My guess is that it would make it inappropriate to use for intradermal ,just looking for confirmation ,or any other options

You cannot report the administration for TB tests. It is an integral part of the primary code.
