Whole Exome Genetic Sequencing

South Dakota rates for HCPCS 81415

Reads the protein-coding portions of essentially all of a person's genes from a blood or saliva sample, searching for a change that explains a condition present from birth or running in the family that has no clear cause. It is used when the features do not point to one suspected gene, so a broad search is more likely to find an answer than testing genes one at a time. A result may identify a cause, be inconclusive, or turn up a change whose meaning is not yet known.
