The QuantiFERON -TB Gold test (QFT …. A positive result suggests that M. tuberculosis infection is likely; a negative result suggests that infection is unlikely; and indeterminate result suggests QFT-G results cannot be interpreted as a result of low mitogen response or high background response.
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.

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.
Z22. 7 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
QuantiFERON-TB Gold (QFT) is a simple blood test that aids in the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria which causes tuberculosis (TB). QFT is an interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) release assay, commonly known as an IGRA, and is a modern alternative to the tuberculin skin test (TST, PPD or Mantoux).
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.

ICD-10-CM Code for Nonspecific reaction to tuberculin skin test without active tuberculosis R76. 11.
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.
A positive IGRA test means that you have been infected with tuberculosis. This does not mean that you are ill. It is believed that approximately 1/3 of the world's population are IGRA positive without suffering from tuberculosis, meaning they have what is called latent tuberculosis infection.
QuantiFERON (QFT) is an interferon-γ release assay (IGRA) that aids in the evaluation of tuberculosis (TB) infections (latent or active)1 and is recommended by the CDC as an alternative to the tuberculin skin test (TST) in certain situations.

Namely, that if a patient presents for interpretation of the results of a PPD (purified protein derivative of tuberculin) test, it is appropriate to report CPT code 99211. CPT code 86580 is reported for the Mantoux test using the intradermal administration of purified protein derivative (PPD).
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z11.1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
