Insulin Tolerance Panel for Adrenal Response

Alabama rates for HCPCS 80434

A closely supervised timed test in which insulin is given to lower blood sugar briefly, and the body's stress-hormone response is measured in blood samples taken before and at set times afterwards. A healthy pituitary and adrenal system responds to low blood sugar by releasing cortisol, so a poor rise shows that this response is not working.
