ICD-10-CM Code for Nonspecific reaction to tuberculin skin test without active tuberculosis R76. 11.
An IGRA is a blood test that can determine if a person has been infected with TB bacteria. An IGRA measures how strong a person's immune system reacts to TB bacteria by testing the person's blood in a laboratory.

Nonspecific reaction to tuberculin skin test without active tuberculosis. R76. 11 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R76.
Nucleic Acid Amplification (NAA) Test Culture remains the gold standard for laboratory confirmation of TB disease, and growing bacteria are required to perform drug-susceptibility testing and genotyping.
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).
What is inactive TB? Breathing in TB germs does not usually make a person ill because the body's immune system is able to control the infection. The TB germs remain in the person's body, but are inactive and not growing. Inactive TB is also known as TB infection or latent TB.
A15. 0 - Tuberculosis of lung. ICD-10-CM.
Your tests show that you have latent TB infection, also referred to as "LTBI." Latent TB infection means TB germs are in your body but it is like the germs are sleeping. The latent TB germs are not hurting you and cannot spread to other people. If the TB germs wake up and become active, they can make you sick.
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.
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.
The most commonly used skin test to check for TB is the PPD — purified protein derivative. If you have a positive PPD, it means you have been exposed to a person who has tuberculosis and you are now infected with the bacteria (mycobacterium tuberculosis) that causes the disease.
