Michigan 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.

Because there is no more specific standard test available for this particular gene, this general higher-complexity category is used instead.
