CPT code 86580 is used to describe all intradermal TB tests, including TB skin tests, TB delayed hypersensitivity tests (DHT or DHR), Mantoux and/or tine tests and the purified protein derivative test (PPD).

TB bacteria can live in the body without making you sick. This is called latent TB infection. In most people who breathe in TB bacteria and become infected, the body is able to fight the bacteria to stop them from growing. People with latent TB infection: Have no symptoms.
To bill for placing the purified protein derivative (PPD) skin test for tuberculosis, use CPT®code 86580. Use this code when the nurse or medical assistant places the test on the patient's skin. The CPT®definition of the code is: Skin test, tuberculosis, intradermal.
An abnormal (positive) result means you have been infected with the bacteria that cause TB. You may need treatment to lower the risk of the disease coming back (reactivation of the disease). A positive skin test does not mean that a person has active TB. More tests must be done to check whether there is active disease.
Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Key risk factors include exposure to infection, birth in an endemic country, and HIV infection. Symptoms may include cough, fever, and weight loss.
CPT code 86580 is reported for the Mantoux test using the intradermal administration of purified protein derivative (PPD). Except in unusual circumstances, a nurse will typically read the PPD test. The nurse's work includes pulling the chart, checking when the PPD was administered, and looking at the skin.
