South Dakota rates for HCPCS 0266U

Helps find the cause of a suspected inherited disorder by reading the RNA messages a person's cells are producing rather than their DNA. The whole transcriptome is sequenced, and the test reports both genes whose activity level is unusual and places where the genetic message is being assembled incorrectly.
