Getting 2 different responses on the TB/PPD skin tests. Can you bill a 90471 with them or a 99211? Please Help!!!! Thanks so much!:confused:
 
You would not code either, only the 86580. There is no appropriate administration code. There is also no E&M when all you are doing is the TB test. Similar to a U/A or strep test. If there is a code that describes what you are doing you use that code. The performance of the test is included in the fee and no E&M service should be billed.
