Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 86580 covers

Code 86580 covers placing a tuberculin skin test intradermally, typically on the forearm, to assess immune response to tuberculosis infection. Office and clinic staff commonly administer the test under appropriate clinical supervision; the patient returns for a trained clinician to assess the reaction, usually 48 to 72 hours later. The reading focuses on induration, not redness alone.

Select this code for the skin-test placement, not for a blood-based tuberculosis assay. Documentation should identify the test administered and support the placement; document the later finding and interpretation in the reading service record. CMS classifies 86580 as technical-component-only, so interpretation is reported separately under the appropriate service code. A separately documented nurse visit for reading may be reported with 99211 when its requirements are met.
