R76.11 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. Short description: Nonspecific reaction to skin test w/o active tuberculosis The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM R76.11 became effective on October 1, 2020.
As of 2012 this should be coded at 795.52 Ya it's 795.52 795.52 is used for a nonspecific reaction to a Quantiferon-TB Test, (QFT) without active Tuberculosis. You must log in or register to reply here.

positive tuberculin skin test (R76.11) ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code R76.12 Nonspecific reaction to cell mediated immunity measurement of gamma interferon antigen response without active tuberculosis
A positive response to the QuantiFERON Tb Gold Test indicates towards the infection with the Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Although it does not mean that the person has active TB, rather it simply means that the person has been exposed to the mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium.
Z11. 1: “encounter for screening for respiratory tuberculosis now includes “encounter for screening for active tuberculosis disease.”
You have a positive Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) or QuantiFERON blood test: what does this mean? If your TST (Mantoux) or Quantiferon blood test was found to be positive, this means you have a latent TB infection, but usually not the active disease.
ICD-10-CM Code for Latent tuberculosis Z22. 7.
How do we bill for placing the skin test for tuberculosis? 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 QFT system uses specialized blood collection tubes, which are used to collect whole blood. Incubation of the blood occurs in the tubes for 16 to 24 hours, after which, plasma is harvested and tested for the presence of IFN-γ produced in response to the peptide antigens.

The QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) test is an interferon (IFN)-gamma release assay (IGRA) that assesses the cell-mediated immune response to 2 Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex antigens, ESAT-6 and CFP-10, by measuring IFN-gamma levels in plasma.
After three months 87.5% were still QFT-TB positive (35/40 tested) whereas after 15 months, one year after the end of therapy, 84.6% remained positive (22/26 tested). All patients with reversed QFT-TB test after three months were still negative at 15 months.
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.
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.
Isoniazid and Rifapentine (INH-RPT) are medicines used together to treat LTBI. They kill the sleeping TB germs before they make you sick. It can take many months for the medicine to kill the TB germs because they are strong.
A “positive” TB blood test result means you probably have TB germs in your body. Most people with a positive TB blood test have latent TB infection. To be sure, your doctor will examine you and do a chest x-ray. You may need other tests to see if you have latent TB infection or active TB disease.

(1) False-positive results may occur in patients with prior infection with M marinum, M szulgai, or M kansasii. Negative: No IFN-gamma response to M tuberculosis antigens was detected. Infection with M tuberculosis is unlikely.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z11.1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
Screening is the testing for disease or disease precursors in asymptomatic individuals so that early detection and treatment can be provided for those who test positive for the disease. Type 1 Excludes. encounter for diagnostic examination-code to sign or symptom.
Following are the new and/or modified codes, which were implemented in the 2020 release of ICD-10-CM on October 1, 2019.

A negative QFT-Plus result does not preclude the possibility of M. tuberculosis infection or tuberculosis disease: false negative results can be due to stage of infection, co-morbid conditions that affect immune function, incorrect handling of the blood collection tubes following venipuncture, incorrect performance of the assay, or other individual immunological variables. Heterophile antibodies or non-specific interferon-gamma production from other inflammatory conditions may mask specific responses to CD4+ and CD8+ T cell antigens. A positive QFT-Plus result should not be the sole or definitive basis for determining infection with M. tuberculosis. Incorrect performance of the assay may cause false-positive results. A positive QFT-Plus result should be followed by further medical evaluation for active tuberculosis disease.
Return each of the four properly filled, labeled, and shaken tubes to the box labeled "QFT kit." Seal the top by removing tape from the adhesive. To preserve cellular viability, specimens should be collected and sent the same day, at room temperature, so as to arrive at the lab as soon as possible and within 14 hours of collection.
