Answer:
No, you should not bill an administration fee or injection fee for a PPD (tuberculosis) skin test.Explanation:
Your staff is not administering a vaccine or a subcutaneous or intramuscular injection, so codes such as 96372 (Therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic injection [specify substance or drug]; subcutaneous or intramuscular) do not apply.Instead:
You'll only report 86580 (Skin test; tuberculosis, intradermal) for giving a PPD test.
