Targeted Genetic Change Analysis

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 81401

This genetic test looks for a specific, well-defined change in a single gene, using a relatively straightforward testing method. It's used when a doctor or genetic counselor wants to check for one particular genetic change already known to be associated with a condition, often because it runs in the family or is common in a specific population. The gene involved doesn't have its own individually named test, so it's grouped by the complexity of the analysis performed.
