What is the proper way to code the placement of a PPD test and then the following reading of that test? Thanks!
 
Ppd

86580 V74.1. We don't charge to have it read. I have read that you can charge, but the chances of the patient returning will be slim and you don't want that.

86580 is for placement and 99211 is for the reading. We have patients come back for the reading all the time and they pay as appropriate. You should not give away billable services.
