Stem Cell Graft Processing Step

Connecticut rates for HCPCS 38212

A laboratory step carried out on blood-forming stem cells that have already been collected for a transplant. Before the cells are given to a patient, unwanted material is removed from the collected product so that what remains is safer and better suited for transplant. It is part of preparing the graft rather than a test performed on the patient.
