It is my understanding that the capabilities of each facility's lab varies. Probably due to the complexity and expense of testing for the many types of MAC and the other various results such as the sensitivities, 1+,2+ etc. At the facility I go to they are not able to provide this info even though they are a teaching hospital. If they need to get more indepth testing the sample must be sent to NJH.

Thanks Sue.
Yes Dr. Daily indicated only a couple of labs can do what NJH does, detail the type of MAC such as my MAI that they found in OCT. 2023.
Interesting, had not thought of that fully until you said, "Also, the amount of detail can depend on the codes the Practitioner used in ordering the labs". So it would probably be helpful to ask, if the doctor did not indicate to the patient, what they are requesting the lab to detail. That would help the patient for greater understanding then and when the results are shown.
