I am being told by my MAC carrier that Medicare now covers TB testing (code 86580). Can anyone confirm this, please? I can't find anything on the CMS website to confirm this.

Thanks.
 
I work in a Primary Physicians office and we will the TB to test to Medicare. I have not seen anything that indicates they are now paying on the Tb test. If you come across any information, please keep me informed.

Thanks,
Liz
 
The code for a TB test (86580) appears on the Medicare Fee Schedule as payable. While it is payable, I am sure that Medicare has specific criteria attached to this service. Does anyone know if there is an NCD or any kind of reference Medicare regarding TB testing? Thanks.
