Instrument-Read Screening Drug Test

Alaska rates for HCPCS 80306

This laboratory service screens a urine or other body fluid sample for the presence of drugs or drug classes using an automated instrument to read the results, rather than a person visually checking a test strip. It provides a preliminary, or presumptive, result indicating whether certain substances may be present, and further confirmatory testing is typically needed for a definitive result. It covers all the screening performed on a single day for one person.
