Delaware rates for HCPCS 81408

A genetic laboratory test that analyzes a specific gene not commonly tested on its own, using methods reserved for higher-complexity genetic analysis such as detailed sequencing of a large or complicated gene. It is used across a wide range of inherited conditions, with the specific gene and condition depending on why the test was ordered. Because there is no more specific standard test available for this particular gene, this general higher-complexity category is used instead.
