CPT 86580 is described as Skin Test; tuberculosis, intradermal and includes the administration of the test; therefore, do not attempt to bill any type of administration code in conjunction with CPT 86580.
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.
During one visit to a doctor's office or clinic, a tiny amount of tuberculin is injected under the skin, usually in the forearm. Tuberculin is a sterile extract purified protein derivative (PPD) made from the bacteria that cause TB. After receiving the injection, a small, pale bump will form at the site.
Medicare does pay for CPT code 86580 when the patient has had exposure to TB or has had a reaction to a recent TB screening test.
Effective July 1, 2015, the Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) will link CPT code 86480 ‒ Tuberculosis test, cell mediated immunity antigen response measurement; gamma interferon to revenue code 302 - Laboratory-Immunology.

CPT® Code 81003 in section: Urinalysis, by dip stick or tablet reagent for bilirubin, glucose, hemoglobin, ketones, leukocytes, nitrite, pH, protein, specific gravity, urobilinogen, any number of these constituents.
86580 is the correct code for billing the TB Skin Test otherwise known as the PPD. 90471 would be incorrect as this for a vaccine administration only. Z11.1 for Encounter for Screening for Respiratory TB would also be correct if the patient is there for a screening.
Did you received the material through a special program (such as the 340B program, etc) that would restrict you from billing for the test? If not, then it would be ok to bill for the 86580 as this is inclusive of the material and the injection.
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.
When the patient returns to have the nurse read the test, to see if it is positive or negative, then bill 99211. This is typically done in 48-72 hours. Remember that for Medicare, nurse visits must meet the criteria of incident to billing, so a physician or NPP must be in the office to bill Medicare for that service.
The pertinent history is part of the HPI and will always include past TB history. It is very important to know if the patient has ever been diagnosed with active TB disease or TB infection before. Document dates of diagnosis or testing, location where the diagnosis or testing took place and what treatment was offered or completed. Document whether this patient was named as a contact to another TB case. Was he/she a contact to a known drug resistant case?
All TB patients will have a review of systems. It will be very limited for TB screening including only constitutional, skin, and respiratory. For those patients starting or being monitored on treatment, it will be much more in-depth.
