Comparison Gene Sequencing For A Relative

Indiana rates for HCPCS 81416

Reads the protein-coding parts of the genes of a close relative, usually a parent or a sibling, from a blood or saliva sample, so the results can be lined up against the patient's own sequencing. Comparing them shows whether a genetic change found in the patient was inherited or arose new, which is often what separates a harmless variation from the cause of the illness. It is performed and billed in addition to the patient's own sequencing, once for each relative tested.
