Yeast Identification and Susceptibility Comprehensive Panel

Test Code

92187

CPT Codes
87106

Includes

Susceptibility will be performed at an additional charge (CPT code(s): 87186).
Additional identification may be performed at an additional charge (CPT code(s): 87106).
DNA Sequencing and Direct Probe are additional identification methods. If the organism cannot be identified by the original method or if there are multiple organisms, either may be performed at an additional charge: DNA sequencing (CPT code: 87153), or Direct Probe (CPT code: 87149).
