Prenatal Blood Screen For Three Trisomies

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 0327U

Screens a pregnancy for three chromosome conditions: trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), trisomy 18 and trisomy 13. A blood sample from the pregnant person is used, because it carries small amounts of DNA from the placenta, and the result is a risk estimate for each condition. Reporting of fetal sex is an optional addition.
