Can a physician in a hospital group bill for a TB screening that is performed in an Assisted Living Facility or Nursing Facility?
What would the CPT code be? We want to make our coding is correct. Thank you!!!Assisted living is treated the same as home. Can a physician bill for a TB test in the home?
No, it is for a TB screening not a test.I just realized you said TB "screening" and I assumed you meant "test". If that is true, then 86580.
Okay, so what are they doing? Asking questions to see if they are at risk?No, it is for a TB screening not a test.
Our provider was asked to evaluate if the patient has any TB symptoms- the yearly TB screening is what I see.Okay, so what are they doing? Asking questions to see if they are at risk?
