Medication Level Blood Test

Maryland rates for HCPCS 80176

Measures how much of one specific prescribed medicine is present in the blood, so the dose can be set high enough to work but low enough to stay safe. Samples are often drawn at a set time in relation to the last dose, since timing changes the reading. It is used for medicines whose safe and effective range is narrow.
